Standing at a game store and can't remember if you already own it? GameMonster answers in seconds, down to the exact copy, even with no signal. Scan a whole shelf with one photo, track every copy you own, and hunt your wishlist with a price limit. Free, with no account, no ads and no cap on how many games you add. KNOW WHAT YOU OWN, INSTANTLY Search your collection and nearly 78,000 games right in the aisle. The game list lives on your iPhone, so it works without a signal. You can also check from Spotlight or ask Siri "Do I own this game in GameMonster" without opening the app. ADD YOUR SHELF IN MINUTES Take a photo of your games, spines or covers, and GameMonster reads the titles on your iPhone. You review the results and add them all in one tap. Nothing gets added until you say yes. Already keep a list somewhere else? Import a spreadsheet or a CSV export from another collection app. GameMonster matches each row and shows you the ones it isn't sure about. EVERY COPY, EXACTLY Each game gets one page with every copy you own on it: • Disc, cartridge, digital download or Game-Key Card • Complete in box, loose or new, and which parts you have • Region: NTSC-U, PAL, NTSC-J and more • Edition, picked from the game's real editions Track consoles and accessories too, from NES and PS1 to PS5 and Switch 2. HUNT SMARTER Set the most you'll pay for each game on your wishlist, mark your grails, and plan upgrades, like replacing a loose copy with a complete one. Upcoming games show their release date. When you find one, tap Bought It and it moves to your collection. Recent sold listings are one tap away when you want to check a price. ASK MONSTER AI Ask about your collection in plain words: "Which of my PS2 games are complete in box?" or "What do I want to play next?" You can also ask about any game in the list, like who made it or when it came out. Answers come from your collection and the game list, privately with Apple Intelligence. SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE • Games per platform, genres and release years • How much of your collection is complete in box • What you've spent, and how your collection has grown • Want to Play, Playing and Completed for your backlog • Series progress, like "You own 3 of 10" • Coming Soon for the platforms you collect YOUR COLLECTION STAYS YOURS There's no account to create and nothing is tracked. Your collection lives on your iPhone and syncs through your own private iCloud. GameMonster backs it up on your iPhone every day, and you can export it to a backup file or a spreadsheet at any time. The game list updates on its own every week, so new releases show up without an app update. Monster AI chat needs an iPhone with Apple Intelligence and iOS 27. On other iPhones, it still tells you whether you own a game. Game data provided by IGDB.com.
