A record of everything on your shelf.
Vinyl, CDs, cassettes, Blu-rays, cartridges, books, figures. Mintboxd records the physical pressings you own, one by one, and puts the collection on a 3D shelf.

For a collector, the copy on the shelf matters as much as the work itself. Mintboxd builds that distinction into its data model.
-
Recorded at pressing level
A 1973 original press and a 2015 reissue are different objects. Format, country, year, region code, edition and catalogue number each have their own field.
-
Barcode scanning
Hold the barcode on the back of the box up to the camera. If the pressing is in the catalogue, the item lands in your collection in seconds.
-
3D shelf
The collection is drawn as real boxes at real case dimensions. A case with no known template can be measured with the phone camera.
-
Condition and provenance
Sealed or opened, and how many copies. Purchases, gifts and trades are marked separately, alongside notes, photos and an “open to trade” flag. That flag is a label and nothing more: any deal is between the two collectors, and the app carries no selling or payment flow.
-
Diary and reviews
What you watch or listen to goes into the diary. Rate it, review it, tag it. The statistics are derived from those entries.
-
Social layer
An activity feed, a full-screen reels view of covers, likes, comments and direct messages. Profiles can be kept private.
Get the app
