Record Collection
A private record collection in one HTML file on your machine: no account, no cloud, no server to talk to.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here: go on, put something in it.
Forged into a knife, this tool ages with use: the blades you reach for wear soft, entries you tend keep their bloom, and the years travel with the file through every reforge.
A record collection past fifty albums develops a dangerous property: you can no longer be sure, in the shop, whether you already own the thing in your hands. The Record Collection catalog settles it — album, artist, year, and condition from Mint down to Fair. It is the crate in your pocket.

Standing facts
- One HTML file. Opens in any modern browser, on any operating system.
- No account. No login, no sign-up, no e-mail wall.
- No cloud. Nothing leaves your browser: no server, no telemetry, no analytics.
- Yours forever. The file keeps working whether or not Offline.Ltd does.
- Ages with use. Entries you tend keep their bloom; the years travel with the file through every reforge.
In ten years
Whatever you put in (Album, Artist, Year and Condition) stays inside the file itself. There is no account to lapse, no plan to be sunset, no migration e-mail with a deadline in it. A decade of record collection entries is a decade of your own handwriting, kept in a document you can back up like any other.
If Offline.Ltd closes tomorrow, nothing on your machine notices. That isn't a marketing promise; it's simply what a file is.
Getting your data out
Export to CSV from inside the tool and open it in anything: a spreadsheet, another app, a text editor. Or keep the HTML file: it is plain, readable, and inspectable; you can open it in a text editor and see your own rows sitting there. No export queue, no "we'll e-mail you a link within 48 hours", no format that only one vendor can read.
Copy the file to a USB stick, a NAS, a folder your devices already sync. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, online or off, because a browser is the only thing it ever needed.
Who else sees this
Nobody. Your Album, Artist, Year and Condition never leave the file on your own disk. There is no account, no telemetry, no analytics, and no code in the file that opens a network connection, pull the cable and watch it carry on working. How privacy works across the Hobby tools →
Questions people ask
How do I catalog my vinyl records?
Work through the crates one shelf at a time: album, artist, year, and an honest condition grade for each. An afternoon of pleasant labour, and you will never buy a duplicate copy of an album you already had two of.
What do the condition grades mean?
Mint means it could pass for new; Very good plays clean with light wear; Good has visible history; Fair is loved but rough. Grade the record you have, not the one you remember buying.
Is my collection list stored online where a marketplace can see it?
No — it lives in one HTML file on your own machine, offline, no account, nothing leaving the page. Your collection is inventoried for you, not for an algorithm with opinions about what you should buy next.
