Collecto is designed for players and collectors who want to know exactly what they own, what condition each game is in, and how their library is growing over time. The core workflow is fast barcode scanning: point the camera at the barcode on a physical game box, add the game to your collection, then track platform, condition, ownership details, copies, tags, and collection statistics. Users can also catalog digital-only games and PC libraries manually, so a mixed physical and digital collection stays organized in one place.
The March 6, 2026 update improves both data safety and day-to-day collection management. It adds export options, automatic backups, metadata refreshes, and a more customizable Home screen so users can shape Collecto around the way they browse their own game library.

Built around barcode scanning
Collecto is useful because adding games is quick. Barcode scanning reduces manual typing and helps collectors catalog physical games faster. Once a game is in the collection, users can track important details such as condition, platform, duplicate copies, tags, and notes.
- Scan game barcodes to add physical games faster.
- Save digital games from Steam and other platforms alongside physical copies.
- Track box, disc, cartridge, or overall condition details.
- Organize games by platform, ownership, tags, and multiple copies.
- Export the collection to PDF or CSV.
- Keep collection data safer with automatic daily backups.
- Browse a smoother and more customizable Home screen.
Discover games and estimate collection value
Collecto is not only a database for games you already own. It can also help users discover new titles related to series, franchises, and styles they already enjoy, browse retro games on older platforms, and find games that may be worth adding to a collection. For collectors who care about value, saved purchase prices and external marketplace checks can help estimate what a particular edition, region, or physical release may be worth.
Smoother Home experience
This update also improves loading on the Home screen with a lighter, smoother reveal and reduced stutter. For larger collections, small performance improvements matter because users return to the Home screen often to browse, search, compare, and manage their games.
