You know the drill: bricks everywhere, a smudged paper list, and you're hunting the same tiny plate in the same color for the third time. BrickPartManager is your part list in your pocket. Tap instead of scribble — see instantly what's still missing and what's already in the bin. Works offline when the Wi‑Fi doesn't reach the basement. Sorting multiple sets? One master list shows every missing part — filter by color, sort your way, no flipping between sheets of paper. On iPad, the large grid keeps dozens of parts visible at once, right beside your sorting trays. Building with someone else? Premium lets you invite them with a code — everyone ticks off live. No more "did you already find that one?" for the tenth time. Already use Rebrickable? Premium imports your lists instead of typing everything again. Try it free without an account — one set, no signup needed. Free · User · Fan · Premium — monthly subscriptions, cancel anytime in iOS Settings. Not an official LEGO® product.

BrickBack for LEGO® Sets
Read full descriptionHide full description
A LEGO® brick in your hand. Which set is it missing from? IDENTIFY THE PIECE Photograph a LEGO® brick: BrickBack identifies its number, name and color. Scan in sequence with one photo per piece; the camera stays open. Recognition uses Brickognize, an online service: scanning needs a connection and your agreement, which you can withdraw in Settings. MISSING FROM… BrickBack matches the piece with your incomplete sets and shows which need it, in which color and how many. WATCH IT PROGRESS Check off a piece you found and watch the set progress. At 100%, it joins your completed sets, dated the day you finished it. PIECES TO BUY “To buy” keeps one list of the pieces your sets still need, always up to date. Group it by set, color or piece type, exclude pieces already in your loose bricks, and export it to Rebrickable or a spreadsheet for free. BrickLink and Brick Owl exports, printing, filtering by set and choosing the order require Pro. NO PHOTO? SEARCH “Search for a piece” finds it by name, number or color. “Where is this piece from?” lists sets that contain it; it cannot tell which one your piece came from. MY LOOSE BRICKS Keep pieces outside your sets, even ones a set needs. From 20 pieces, BrickBack shows sets you may have pieces for. Edit quantities and filter by exact color in “Bricks”. Take a completed set apart: it stays among your completed sets. YOUR COLLECTION, ORGANIZED “Scan a box” reads the printed set number on your iPhone, without sending a photo, to add the set. Pro adds “Built”, tags, notes, “Sort & Filter”, wishlist management, and list imports and exports. “My wishlist” is in “Ideas”; text and image sharing stays free. “I bought it” is free within the set limit. WHERE TO BUY IT Pro compares live store prices, excluding shipping, in eight countries: France, Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the United States (App Store account country and iPhone region must match). Also included are price alerts and, depending on the country, sets for less right now. Affiliate links may earn BrickBack a commission, without affecting store order or your price. YOUR DATA No account, no banners, no ad trackers. Download the catalog of over 28,000 LEGO® and DUPLO® sets on first launch; then browse your collection offline. Full data backup is always free. Scanned photos go to Brickognize; enabling price alerts sends wishlist set numbers and target prices to our server.

BrickPartManager's advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
