Need a List
Catalog everything you collect.
Mugs, watches, action figures, vinyl, sneakers — one beautiful catalog with photos, values, and search that finds anything. On iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.
$9.99 — pay once, own it forever. No subscription.
Other collection apps charge $70–80 a year and keep your data on their servers. Need a List costs $9.99 once, and your collection never leaves your devices.
A list for everything
A separate collection per hobby, each with its own icon, color, and custom fields like Brand, Year, or Condition.
Photos & clean cutouts
Unlimited photos per item — and Subject Lift cuts items out of cluttered backgrounds automatically.
Find it by photo
No barcode? Snap a picture and the app finds the closest-looking items you own — entirely on your device.
Shelf capture
Photograph a whole shelf; every item becomes its own entry with a cutout photo.
Know what it’s worth
Track what you paid vs. today’s value, with history charts and a portfolio view of your gains.
Insurance-ready
Attach receipts and certificates, then export a photo-rich PDF inventory of everything you own.
QR box labels
Print labels for storage boxes — scan one to see exactly what’s inside.
Trade & wishlist
Mark duplicates for trade and share a HAVE/WANT list; track everything you’re still hunting.
Stats & Wrapped
Charts of your collecting year — and shareable “Collection Wrapped” cards every year.
Everywhere
iPhone, iPad with a full sidebar, Mac, Apple Watch, widgets, Siri, and Spotlight.
Easy switch
One-tap imports from Discogs, Goodreads, CLZ, and iCollect exports.
Private by design
No accounts, no tracking. Private iCloud sync, optional Face ID lock, and your data exports any time.
Your data is yours. Full stop.
Need a List has no servers and no accounts. Collections live on your device and sync through your own private iCloud. Back up everything to a single file, export CSV or a web page of any collection, and AirDrop a copy to a friend — no lock-in, ever.
