Scan it. Sort it. Never lose track of your stash. KitSort is the catalog app for scale model, diecast, and kit collectors. Point your camera at a box, confirm the details, and it's organized — by collection, location, or build status. SCAN & ADD IN SECONDS Point your camera at any kit box or label. Smart recognition catches the kit number, manufacturer and scale — you just confirm. Prefer to type it in yourself? That works too. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Sort by collection, storage location, or build status. Know what's on the shelf, what's still sealed in the box and what's mid-build on the desk — at a glance. SMART SEARCH & FILTERS Filter by category, brand, status or location. Twenty kits or two hundred, everything's two taps away. INSTANT DUPLICATE CHECK That kit looks familiar? Check your collection in two taps before you buy — no more finding out later you already have it. WORKS OFFLINE — ALWAYS Your catalog lives on your device. Search, add, and check for duplicates with zero signal — hobby shops, swap meets, convention floors, wherever the Wi-Fi doesn't reach. CLOUD SYNC & BACKUP Sign in to sync across devices and back everything up. Lose your phone, not your collection. SHOW OFF YOUR STASH Generate a shareable link for your whole collection — show fellow collectors, your feed or anyone who's curious how many kits you actually own. PLANS Annual and Weekly plans. Annual starting with a free trial. Cancel anytime. Made by collectors, for collectors — built to help you enjoy the hobby, not manage a database. If it feels like work, we failed. Questions?
