Swipe right on any item in a list, or use the action menu on the item's detail screen. Favoriting keeps an item visible in the Favorites view. It doesn't move the item or change what it is — it's just a spotlight.

Open the item to see its detail screen, then tap Edit. To remove an item, swipe left on it in any list or use the action menu — this moves it to Trash, it does not delete it. From the Trash view you can restore an item back to where it was, or use Empty Trash (or Delete Forever on a single item) to permanently remove it.

Use the search bar at the bottom of any list. Search looks across title, creator, notes, category, and condition, and filters results as you type.

Every list offers four sort modes: Date Added (the default), Release Date, Title, and Creator. Pick whichever fits what you're looking for.

When adding or editing an item, tap the photo area to choose images from your library. You can add up to 5 photos per item, shown as a swipeable carousel on the detail screen.

Open an item for editing and use the tag field. Type a tag and press space or comma to add it as a chip — autocomplete suggests tags you've already used. An item can have as many tags as you like.

In Add or Edit, the Links section lets you attach up to 3 URLs per item — useful for store listings, price guides, or reference pages. They show as tappable links on the detail screen.

In Add or Edit, enter an amount and choose a currency (USD, CAD, GBP, or EUR). Item values roll up into your collection totals in Stats.

Use the item's action menu to toggle Wishlist or Archive. The item moves into the matching view automatically. The same menu lets you move an item to Trash or restore it.

Open Settings > Data > Library to manage Categories, Conditions & Tags. You can create your own categories and conditions, and add custom fields (text, numbers, dates, checkboxes, or dropdowns) to any category.

Open Settings > Security and choose a lock method: Face ID/Touch ID or a keyphrase. You can also set an auto-lock timer. Changing or turning off an existing lock requires you to authenticate first.

Open Settings > Data > Import & Export. You can export to CSV or JSON (data only), or use Full Backup (.zip) to include your photos. Import accepts CSV or JSON files and flags duplicates before adding anything.

Open Settings > Appearance and choose Light, Dark, or System. System follows your device setting automatically.

No. collect. has no account and no login. You open the app and start cataloging.

Your catalog lives on your device and syncs through your own personal iCloud account, if enabled. The developer has no servers and never sees your data, because it never reaches them. collect. is private by design. You can also lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID, or a keyphrase for extra peace of mind.

Yes, if iCloud Sync is enabled in Data settings. As long as your devices are signed into the same iCloud account, your collection — including photos — stays in sync across your iPhone and iPad automatically.

Anything. collect. ships with categories spanning two worlds: collectibles and personal items (vinyl, books, watches, cards, comics, diecast, sneakers, and more) and small-business or IT assets (computers, servers, networking gear, peripherals, and more) — and every category is fully customizable, so you can add your own.

A Category is what something is — each item has exactly one, chosen from the built-in list or your own custom categories. A Tag is what describes it — condition, provenance, location, intent — and you can apply as many as you like. Categories give structure; tags add detail.

Personal and Business are separate vaults for your items. Everyone gets a Personal vault; the Business vault is optional and can be turned on from onboarding or Settings if you want to track business or IT assets separately from your personal collection.

Yes. Turn on the Business vault to keep office equipment, devices, and other assets separate from your personal collection, with categories built for IT and business use.
