Plunder is a personal collection logbook built for anyone who collects challenge coins, patches, or pins. Create a detailed catalog of the items you own, document the history behind each piece, and build a visual record of how your collection has grown over time. Whether you collect pins, coins, medallions, souvenirs, or any other personal memorabilia, Plunder gives you one place to keep a proper manifest of it all. MAINTAIN THE MANIFEST Record the details that matter for every item in your collection. Add photos, names, categories, dates, acquisition details, prices, notes, and other information you want to preserve. Plunder turns your collection into an organized archive you can enjoy browsing. LOGGING PROVENANCE Every piece has a story. Record when it came from, who gave it to you, and any other details that make it significant to you. Over time, your log becomes more than an inventory—it becomes a history of your collection and how you built it. CHART YOUR TREASURES See where your collection came from on a personal inventory map. Items can be tied to the places where you got them, creating a geographic record of your haul and letting you look back at the people, places, or ports of call from your memories. CONSULT THE LEDGER Browse your collection visually, search through what you own, and pull up an item’s details whenever you need them. No spreadsheets, scattered photos, or forgotten notes—just one organized ledger for the things you’ve collected. BUILT FOR COLLECTORS Plunder is part collection catalog, part ship’s log, and part personal archive. It’s designed to make documenting a collection feel useful without making it feel like bookkeeping. Every piece has a provenance. Every collection has a history. So set sail sail and log your loot with Plunder.

Every challenge coin is worth almost nothing and means almost everything. The metal is cheap. What matters is who handed it to you, and what for — and that part lives in one person's memory until it doesn't. Muster is a field guide for the coins you were given. LOG A COIN IN SECONDS A name is all it takes to start. Photograph the front and the back, and the story can come later. THE STORY IS THE POINT Every coin gets a place to record who presented it, where, when, and why. It is the one detail no photograph carries and the first thing anyone forgets. YOUR RACK, THE WAY IT LOOKS Coins are shown as prints taped to the page, not rows in a spreadsheet. Sort by the date earned and it reads like the career it is. THE CARRY COIN Mark the one in your pocket. Coin Check puts it on screen, full size, when somebody calls one. SHARE WITHOUT OVERSHARING One link shows your collection and its stories. Estimated values and serial numbers never appear on it — those leave the app only in your own export. THE FIELD MANUAL How a coin check actually works, what damages a coin, and the words for the parts. Built in. FREE, AND STAYING FREE No ads. Nothing locked. No subscription. Muster is free for anyone who served, and the optional tip is exactly that — optional, and it unlocks nothing. Your coins are yours. Delete your account from inside the app at any time and every record and photograph goes with it.
