Vinyl, CDs, cassettes, Blu-rays, VHS, games, books and figures. Everything on your shelf, in one place. BUILD YOUR COLLECTION Scan a barcode or search the catalogue, then add it in one tap. Record the exact pressing you own: format, year, country, condition. Different pressings of the same album are tracked separately — that is the part collectors care about. SHOW YOUR SHELF IN 3D Photograph an item and mintboxd turns it into a box you can rotate. Pick the case size from the mould list, or measure it with the camera. SHARE AND DISCOVER Post what you add, browse other people's shelves. Like, comment, follow. Keep a diary of what you watched or listened to, rate it, write a review. YOUR DATA IS YOURS No ads, no tracking pixels, no data selling. Delete your account whenever you want — and when you do, it is really deleted. Release metadata and cover art are compiled from open sources including TMDB, Discogs, MusicBrainz / Cover Art Archive, Open Library and IGDB / MobyGames.
