MyHorology is a watch collection tracker with an AI assistant and a community of collectors. Add a watch by photo, by URL, or by hand. AI scanning reads the dial and the caseback, so reference and serial text on the back can fill in brand, model, and specs. Pasting a product page URL pulls the same details. Log a wear in two taps. The wear calendar shows every logged day, and per-watch stats show total wears, months owned, and how your rotation has shifted. AI Suggest recommends what to wear using your location, the live weather, the time of day, and the occasion you describe. Watch of the Day: log a wear, post a wrist shot, and edit the caption after you post. A public profile lives at your handle. It stays off until you turn it on. Pin one watch and it leads the page. Every account has a handle in the form @yourname, and you can change it. A retired handle is held for 90 days before it can be claimed again. Handles are the only identity the app shows. Direct messages carry photos, hearts on individual messages, and group rooms of up to 100 people. From a listing, a buyer can message the seller without leaving the page. The community forum has boards, threads, and replies. Replies support tags, and you can heart a thread or a reply. Week recap video: the app builds a video of your week, saves it to your camera roll, and opens the system share sheet. Market value appears on a watch's own page, labeled so you can tell whether MyHorology produced the number or you entered it. Your collection value and what you paid stay private to you. 45 currencies are supported. Amounts and totals convert, including an asking price read out of a listing. Mark any watch private and it stays out of your public collection, out of Watch of the Day, and out of recap videos. Mark a watch Lent Out and it is tracked separately from your other statuses. A wishlist holds the watches you are chasing, with photos and priority, and you can share the list. Pinch to zoom any photo, and tap a face to see it up close. Search and filter the whole collection by name, brand, or reference. New accounts get a short setup flow that suggests a few collectors to follow. Push notifications cover replies, direct messages, and hearts. Free to use. Export or delete your data at any time. Questions: support@myhorology.com
