On iPhone and iPad the disc catalogue lives on the device, so a scan works offline.
It files itself.
Editions matter.
A 4K disc is not a Blu-ray. A Steelbook is not a keep case. Box sets, and the discs inside a release, are catalogued as what they are.

The iPhone and iPad app keeps your collection on the device. The self-hosted edition keeps it on a server you administer. Either way the only thing that leaves is a barcode or a search term.
One exception: the iPhone and iPad app and a self-hosted server tell api.discvault.eu once a day that they are in use. They send their version and the number of days since their previous report: no identifier, and nothing about your collection. That is only there to estimate how much DiscVault is used. On a server you can turn it off; the app always sends it.
Read the privacy policyThe core is free.
Scanning, cataloguing, searching, backing up and restoring cost nothing. The self-hosted edition is free, and stays free.
- Scanning and adding, without a limit
- Full backup and restore
- Watchlist, history and wishlist
- iCloud sync between your devices
- Getting your data out, always
A Pro upgrade for the apps comes later, as a one-time purchase. Not a subscription. The price is not set yet.
DiscVault is made by one developer. If it earns a place on your shelf, a coffee is welcome. A donation unlocks nothing; it is only a thank-you.
Buy me a coffeeGood questions.
More answers in the docsDo I need a server?
No. The iPhone and iPad app works entirely on its own. A server is only for people who want the self-hosted web edition, made for a whole household.
Do I need an account?
Not for the app. On a self-hosted DiscVault the accounts live on your own server; you invite who you like.
Where does the film information come from?
Disc releases, barcodes and covers come from MovieVault, the catalogue behind DiscVault. Film details, cast and Discover use TMDB with your own free key.
This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
What does DiscVault send out?
A barcode or a search term when you look something up. The iPhone and iPad app and a self-hosted server also report once a day, anonymously, that they are in use. On a server you can turn that off; the app always sends it. The privacy policy has the details.
Can the app sync with my own server?
Not yet. The apps and the self-hosted edition each work on their own today; connecting them is planned for a later stage.
Can I get my collection out again?
Yes. Backup and restore are part of the free core, and so is a CSV export. Your data is never held back.
Will DiscVault cost money?
The core is free: scanning, cataloguing, backup and restore. The self-hosted edition is free and stays free.
A Pro upgrade for the apps is planned for later, as a one-time purchase rather than a subscription. Its price is not set yet.
Is there an Android app?
It is in beta. Request access on Discord; approved testers install it through Google Play.
I still run DiscVault Legacy. How do I move?
The self-hosted edition has a migration wizard that brings your collection across from Legacy. The migration guide walks through it for Unraid and Docker.
Scan your first disc.
Take the nearest case off the shelf and point the camera at the barcode. That is the whole setup.
