Catanook
Coming soon for iPhone and iPad

Everything you own, in its place.

One app for your home, your collection, your shop and your workshop. Each gets its own profile, with its own colour, words and features, and switching takes a single tap.

No account to create. Your data stays on your devices and in your own iCloud.

The profile switcher in Catanook, listing four profiles: Home, My Collection, My Shop and Workshop, each in its own colour.
Profiles

One app, with a profile for each part of your life.

Most catalogue apps do one thing: books, or a shop's stock, or a home inventory. Catanook gives every part of your life its own space. Nothing is mixed, and everything is one tap away.

  • Home Personal

    Rooms, values and warranties, ready for the insurance form you hope you never need.

  • My Collection Personal

    Books, vinyl, games, cards and more, with the right details for each: author and ISBN, set and grade.

  • My Shop Business

    Stock across shelves and stockrooms, cost and margin, and a nudge before anything runs out.

  • Workshop Business

    Tools and parts in vans, bins and job sites, so the right drill is always in the right place.

Features

Quick to fill, easy to find.

Scan it, snap it or type it. Catanook does the rest and stays out of your way.

Scan and done

Point the camera at a barcode or ISBN. Catanook looks it up in several catalogues, lets you pick the right edition and warns you about duplicates.

Do I own this?

In a shop, scan the barcode and know at once whether it's already in any of your profiles, even under an older ISBN.

Rooms, shelves and boxes

Nest places as deep as you like. One item can sit in several places at once, with the right quantity in each.

QR labels

Print a label for any shelf, bin or box. Scan it with the iPhone camera to see exactly what's inside.

Know what it's worth

Track what you paid and what it's worth now, see value by category, and keep an eye on warranties that are running out.

Stock that adds up

For a business: units across locations, low-stock alerts, cost and margin. Each change is logged, so totals always match.

Search everything

Names, brands, serial numbers, barcodes and your own custom fields, in one profile or across all of them.

Share a profile

Invite family to Home or your team to the shop through iCloud, with edit or view-only access. Only that profile is shared.

Siri, Spotlight and Shortcuts

Ask where something is or what it's worth. Hide any profile, list or item from Siri and Spotlight with one switch.

Made for the shop floor

Never buy the same thing twice.

Standing in a bookshop or at a record fair? Scan the barcode. Catanook checks every profile, matches older ISBN-10 codes to newer ISBN-13 ones, and tells you where your copy is.

  • Checks every profile at once, so a book filed under Home still counts.
  • Shows similar items, in case you own another edition.
  • Adds it in one tap, to your shelf or to your wishlist.

The detail page for Dune: its value, its condition, where it's kept and its details.
Every detail, nothing extra

The right fields for every kind of thing.

A book has an author and an ISBN; a guitar has a serial number; a candle has a reorder point. Templates set up the right fields, and you can add your own. Features you don't need stay hidden until you switch them on.

  • Unlimited photos, with notes and the date each was taken.
  • A history for every item, from moves and repairs to valuations.
  • Your words: Rooms or Warehouses, Collection or Inventory.
Yours, really

Private by design. Never locked in.

Catanook has no servers of its own, no ads and no tracking. What you catalogue belongs to you.

No account

Nothing to sign up for. Catanook uses the iCloud account already on your devices.

End-to-end encrypted

Serial numbers, prices, notes and locations are encrypted in iCloud. Not even Apple can read them.

Export, always free

A spreadsheet per profile, or everything with full-size photos as a ZIP. On every plan, forever.

30-day undo

Deleted things wait in Recently Deleted for 30 days, so a slip never costs you anything.

Works offline

Everything lives on your device first. Changes sync when you're back online, and nothing is lost.

Face ID lock

Lock Catanook with Face ID, and hide your things in the app switcher.

For everyone

Built the Apple way.

Catanook is made only for iPhone and iPad, with the newest design, full VoiceOver support, Dynamic Type up to the largest sizes, Reduce Motion and high-contrast colours.

Coming soon to the App Store.

Free to start, with simple, fair plans when you need more. Export stays free on every plan.
