For collectors of movies · TV · music · books · comics · games
Every case, kept.
Keptcase is the iPhone and iPad app for your physical shelf. Scan a barcode, watch it land in your collection with cover art, editions, condition, and what it's worth. Then scan again in the shop, and your shelf tells you whether you already own it.
Android is coming. Leave your email and hear the day the first build is ready to try.
The details collectors actually track.
Your collection is on a shelf, not in a spreadsheet. Keptcase is for people who still buy the disc, the record, the hardback and the cartridge, and want it all catalogued properly, valued honestly, and beautiful to scroll.
Movies, TV, music, books, comics and games each get their own shelf, with the details that matter to that format: directors and studios, networks and seasons, artists and record labels, authors and publishers, writers and imprints, platforms and regions. One subscription covers all six. No per-hobby stacking.
Own a film on VHS, DVD and 4K? Keptcase folds them into one card while keeping each copy's own condition, value and history. A box set knows what's in the case, one film, a double feature, or a run of seasons, and the app can propose a box's contents from the label's own listing. Filter by boutique label or studio to pull up everything from one imprint.
A standard edition and a limited slipcover are not the same disc. Keptcase keeps a catalogue of boutique releases, the labels listed just below, straight from their own published listings, so you can pick the exact release sitting on your shelf, with its catalogue number and barcode. Ownership is settled on that identifier, never on a title, so a film you own in one edition never marks another as owned.
- Trailers, full cast and More Like This for films
- Season and episode breakdowns for TV
- Screenshots and platform details for games
- Full tracklists for albums
- Descriptions and author details for books
- Search by actor: "Nicolas Cage" finds every film he's in
Log every watch, listen, read and play with a rating and a note. For a show, pick the season, then tick the episodes, and the diary knows how far you are. History is drawn as ticket stubs on every item page. Get a monthly recap, a shareable year-in-review card, and stats on your collecting by decade, genre, format and creator, with TV hours and episodes counted. Forty-six collector badges mark the milestones, and a watch can go straight to Letterboxd.
Condition and completeness, purchase price and date, who you loaned it to, personal ratings and notes, custom cover photos you shoot yourself, and every format from 4K and steelbook to vinyl, cassette, hardback and cartridge.
Follow the labels you actually buy from and Keptcase watches their calendar, the annual sales and the flash drops, then tells you which titles on your wishlist are in it. Prices are tracked per shelf, and every one is shown in the currency the seller quoted it in, never silently converted.
Three widgets: your collection's size and estimated value at a glance, a quick-actions tile for scan, add, ask and pick, and a rotating showcase of covers from whichever shelf you choose, in small, medium and large.
Import a CSV from whatever you use now, and sync ratings and watch dates from a Letterboxd export. Re-importing the same file is safe: items are updated, never duplicated. Optional cloud backup restores your whole shelf onto a new phone.
Boutique labels
The labels in the catalogue.
Every release here comes straight from the label's own published listing, with catalogue number, barcode, format, region and release date, so you can name the exact disc on your shelf, and Keptcase can tell it from every other release of the same film. Record labels are in the catalogue too, Waxwork, Numero Group, Mondo, Light in the Attic, Sacred Bones, Music On Vinyl, iam8bit and Third Man, with their vinyl, CDs and cassettes, pressing colours, catalogue numbers and, where the label names one, the artist.
Film labels Blu-ray, 4K and DVD
Record labels Vinyl, CD and cassette
15,978 releases across 25 labels. More labels are being added regularly, and every catalogue is re-read from the label each week.
Scan to shelf
Point, scan, shelved.
Scan any barcode and Keptcase does the rest: title, cover art, director or artist, edition, and format, matched from TMDB, MusicBrainz, Open Library, and IGDB. Batch mode keeps up with a whole stack of cases, with a tap to correct any row that picked the wrong film. Or photograph your own copy and the cover is yours.

Check my shelf
In the shop, wondering if you own it?
Case in hand, no idea whether it's already on the shelf at home. Scan the barcode, or just type the title, and your shelf answers on the spot: on your shelf, on your wishlist, not on your shelf, or "you own this film, but not this release", naming both editions. Tap the answer to open your copy, or add the new one right there.

Series pages
The whole run, and the gaps.
Your Goosebumps books, film collections and TV shows fold into series cards. Open one for the run in order: what you own, what's on your wishlist, and every gap named, each with a Wishlist button. A book family's lines sit on the page with their own progress; a show's page lists its seasons and how far you've watched.

Tonight's Pick
Your shelf knows what's next.
One tap picks tonight's movie from what you own, tuned to your ratings and watch history. Or just ask: on-device Apple Intelligence answers questions like '90s horror I haven't watched' without your collection ever leaving your phone.

The book shelf
Paper, ink, and everything between.
Hardcovers, paperbacks, first editions, graphic novels, scanned by ISBN and matched from Open Library, with Keptcase's own series list filling in where a library catalogue runs thin. Track what's read and unread, keep a reading diary, and wishlist the ones that got away.
Real app screenshot: the book shelf
The comics rack
Floppies, trades, and the whole run.
Comics are their own rack: single issues, trade paperbacks, omnibuses and graded slabs, with publisher and writer. Scan a floppy and Keptcase asks a database of 950,000 issues; a comic's barcode names its series, so the app asks which issue is in your hand and narrows the run as you type the number. Every series is a page: each issue in order, what you own, the gaps with a Wishlist button.

The game shelf
Every generation, one shelf.
From SNES carts to PS5 cases, every platform wears its own color. Track loose, CIB, or sealed, log playthroughs, and watch the retro shelf climb in value.

Collection value
Know what it's worth.
Live market values for every shelf, with zero setup: games from PriceCharting, music from Discogs, movies and books from real eBay listings. Condition and CIB grading built in, plus a one-tap insurance PDF of everything you own.

Details that matter
Every disc has a story.
Open any case: the copy's facts in a grid, then one card for what you paid and what it is worth today, with the price you paid drawn as a floor under the value line. Watch history and notes underneath; the trailer, the cast and More Like This above.

Beyond the case
Go deeper than the disc.
Full cast with photos, one-tap trailers, and More Like This recommendations for what belongs on your shelf next. Wishlist them straight from the row.

Collector badges
Earn your stripes.
Forty-six badges from First Keeper to completed franchises, each with a share-ready card. And when December rolls around, Collection Wrapped recaps your whole year on the shelf.

Your year on the shelf
Numbers that tell your story.
Watched, listened, read, and played: Your Year steps back through any year of your collecting life, shelf by shelf, with monthly graphs, top genres, and what the shelf is worth against what you paid for it.

Cloud backup
Yours. Backed up. Not for sale.
Sign in with Apple once and your items, diary, ratings, and cover photos survive a lost or broken phone. Your collection is yours. We don't mine it, sell it, or share it. Deleting your cloud data really deletes it, and CSV export always works.

New in 1.0.12
How scared were you, really?
The Fear Meter reads your heart rate through a film on your Apple Watch and scores the night at the credits: a fear level from 0 to 100, your peak and its minute, the curve across the film, and a card to share.




Measured against your own sitting rate, never a number from somewhere else. Start it from Home or from a film's page, on your shelf, streaming or in the theater.
Install Keptcase from the Watch app on your iPhone: Start, Pause and Finish on your wrist, the night on your Lock Screen. Without it, any Apple Watch works through Health, and so does a ring, band, strap or earbuds whose app writes heart rate to Health.
Your readings never leave your iPhone. Every night rides your cloud backup whole, the curve included. Share the card if you like; nothing is posted for you.
Every night on one page, a Fear Report each month, a Year in Fear, and six badges. Share a film's level with other collectors if you want to, off until you turn it on: a film's page shows where the collectors put it once ten have.
Real captures from a real night. The Fear Meter is part of Keptcase Pro and needs a heart-rate source.
Shelf themes
Dress the shelf for the season.
Ten looks for the wall, the planks and the search bar, in Settings, Preferences, Shelf Theme. The covers stay exactly where they are; only the room around them changes.

North Pole.
A winter moon and stars over a midnight-blue wall, Santa's sleigh and all nine reindeer crossing it with Rudolph's nose aglow, snow drifting down, snow-capped pine planks strung with twinkling Christmas lights, a decorated tree and a waving snowman on the search bar.
The first look that moves. The Motion switch on the Shelf Theme page, or Reduce Motion, keeps it still. And Tonight's Pick wears a Fair Isle knit: snowflakes along the top, a row of stags along the foot.









Every look is part of Keptcase Pro except No Theme. Gallery reads light; the others bring their own dark scheme whatever your phone is set to.
Keptcase on iPad
The same shelf, on the big screen.
Native on iPad, with one collection on every device you sign in on. Eight covers across, the item page with room for the cast and the trailer, and a trivia night the whole table can read.










Ten screens from a real collection on a 13-inch iPad. Swipe or scroll sideways.
iPhone Duo
Unfolds with your shelf.
Folded, Keptcase is the phone app you know. Open the Duo and the shelf spreads across the inner display: seven covers to a row, Home in two columns, every page laid out for the wider screen, with the rail down the side.


The outer display runs the phone layout: three covers across, the chips, the search, and iOS's rail of buttons and tabs along the edge. Nothing to learn twice.
The inner display gets the wide layout: the Movies shelf seven covers across, Home in two columns, a title's page and Settings as centred sheets. Unfold mid-scroll and the shelf re-lays itself where you were.
The listing carries Duo screenshots of both displays, shot on a real collection. One download, one subscription, every shelf on whichever screen is open.
New in 1.0.12.
The Fear Meter, a Christmas look for the shelf, and a round of fixes from letters. All of it is in the App Store build now.
Start it from Home or from a film's or a TV show's page, on your shelf, streaming or in the theater. Your heart rate becomes a fear level from 0 to 100 at the end: Calm, Uneasy, Tense, Scared or Terrified, with your peak and its minute, the curve across the film, and a card to share. A Fear Report each month, a Year in Fear, a section in Stats, six badges, and Pause for when you get up.
Install Keptcase from the Watch app on your iPhone: your Watch reads every few seconds, with Start, Pause and Finish on your wrist and the night on your Lock Screen. Without it, any Apple Watch works through Health, and so does a ring, band, strap or earbuds whose app writes heart rate to Health. Every night rides your cloud backup whole, the curve included.
A winter moon and stars, Santa's sleigh crossing the wall, snow drifting down, pine planks strung with twinkling lights, a tree and a waving snowman on the search bar, and Tonight's Pick knitted like a Christmas sweater. The first look that moves; the Motion switch, or Reduce Motion, keeps it still.
Tap the left half of a star for a half star, the right half for a whole one, or drag across the row; every rating in the app works this way now. After the Fear Meter logs a watch, write a review under the stars and it goes on the diary entry.
Share a film's level with other collectors if you like; off until you turn it on, and only the level and its word leave your phone. A film's page shows the collectors' level and the spread across the five words once ten have shared, with your own marker. Every Fear Meter night sits on one page, grouped by month or ranked scariest first.
Some sites print their export on the page instead of handing you a file: copy the rows and use Paste Collection CSV. The Unwatched and Watched chips now count a watch on any copy or any disc. The Collection Value page adds up in the money most of your titles carry and sets the valued titles against what you paid. The insurance report wraps every column. Opening an overdue order's date no longer closes the app.
Try it free for 7 days.
Then one price for every shelf, with no per-hobby stacking.
