The starting point
Hundreds of books, comics and manga piled up over the years. You know they are there, but not exactly what you own, how many volumes you are missing from a series, or which ones you inherited. When the time comes to insure your home, settle an estate or sell part of it, the manual work begins: title by title, card by card.
Copying authors, publishers, years and ISBNs by hand is slow and error-prone. And with older editions, without a barcode, you have to hunt the data down. That is why most collections never actually get documented.
The AI does the heavy lifting of identifying and filling in; you review and decide.
Take up to three photos: front cover, back cover and barcode. Straight from your phone, even iPhone HEIC photos: they are converted automatically.
It recognizes the item, suggests the category and fills in the card fields: author, writer, artist, publisher, series, volume number, year, pages and ISBN. If it reads the ISBN or barcode, it completes the missing details from bibliographic sources.
Fix anything in one click, group by collections and assign locations. Whatever is not reliable stays empty: the AI does not make things up.
It tells apart author, writer and artist —even when they are the same person—, publisher, series and volume number. Built for comics, manga and graphic novels, not just books.
It reads the ISBN or barcode and completes the empty fields from stable bibliographic sources, without overwriting what you already wrote.
For classic or old editions with no barcode, it extracts everything legible from the photos and never invents year, pages or publisher if they are not printed.
Your inventory is private. Images are kept in private storage and served through signed URLs. Only what you choose to share leaves your account.
Group by series, authors or shelves and mark where each copy is. Find any title in seconds.
You can note a value on each card, editable at any time. Values are indicative, declared by the user, and do not constitute an official appraisal.
Same engine, different needs.
The problem: Years of piling up books at home without knowing what is there or what is duplicated.
How it helps: You photograph spines and covers and the AI builds a card for each title.
What you get: A searchable home catalog, handy for home insurance and to stop buying the same book twice.
The problem: You receive a loved one's library and have no idea where to start.
How it helps: You digitize volume by volume; the AI identifies editions and authors, even in old books.
What you get: A documented inventory that makes settling an estate easier and helps you decide what to keep, donate or sell.
The problem: Long runs, single issues, editions and variants that are hard to track.
How it helps: The AI tells apart writer and artist, publisher, series and volume number.
What you get: Real control of your collection: what you own, what you are missing from each series and in which edition.
The problem: Classic or out-of-print editions, with no barcode to scan.
How it helps: The AI extracts everything legible from the photos —title, author, publisher when shown— and leaves blank what it cannot confirm.
What you get: An honest card for each piece, with no invented data, ready for you to complete by hand.
The problem: A collection that grows faster than you can document it.
How it helps: Fast photo entry and grouping by collections and locations.
What you get: Your whole collection tidy and at hand, to browse, insure or prepare a sale.
