Your physical games, brought to life as an interactive 3D collection. Cibby recreates the boxes you remember, from cardboard big boxes to jewel cases, with the artwork, materials and little details that make each one special. Pick them up, turn them over and build a shelf that feels like yours. Start your shelf free with up to 10 games. When you’re ready to bring your full collection, Cibby Pro gives it room to grow. THE BOXES Every platform has its own shapes, materials and little details. Cibby tries to capture those differences, from cardboard boxes and jewel cases to modern plastic cases. The front, back and spine are rendered live, giving each game a proper place on your shelf. GETTING YOUR COLLECTION IN Scan a barcode, search for a game or import the collection you already keep in other collection apps or a spreadsheet. You can also photograph a shelf and let Cibby identify the spines privately on your device! If something is missing, scan the box to help add it to the catalog. YOUR COPY Games often came in different packaging depending on the region, edition or time of release. Cibby treats those differences as part of the collection. Choose the version you own and the box updates with the right artwork, shape, title and barcode. Because a German copy is a German copy, and a special edition should be called what it says on the box. YOUR SHELF Choose a shelf material and decide how tightly your games should be packed. Use Spines view for something closer to a real game cabinet, or give every box more room to show itself. Arrange games by hand, sort them automatically and choose what information appears on each box. Different parts of your collection can have their own setup, so PC big boxes can sit large on walnut while Switch cases stand together on glass. KEEP TRACK Record what you paid, completeness, condition, play status, ratings and notes for every copy. Cibby can also show estimated values and price history from PriceCharting. MORE TO FIND There is a Daily Quiz with the same questions for everyone, along with curated picks, platform spotlights and games released on this day. You can listen to game soundtracks while browsing, with full playback for Apple Music subscribers and previews for everyone else. There are also plenty of app icons to unlock, including a few Cibby will not tell you about. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Export your entire collection whenever you want. Your export includes spreadsheets, an offline webpage and your original scans at full resolution. CIBBY PRO Behind every shelf is a growing archive of physical games, with carefully recreated packaging, regional editions and artwork contributed by collectors. Cibby Pro helps fund that work and keeps your collection growing alongside it. Collect up to 10 games for free. For larger collections, choose Cibby Pro with a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. I built Cibby because I wanted a collection app that cared about the physical objects, not just the list of games.
