“Too many comics” was never the problem.
I think I have too many comics. But my real problem was never the number. It was not having a good inventory of what I have, where it is, and what it's worth. If you're like me, Too Many Comics was made for you: point your camera at a stack and talk, and it catalogs every book, grades condition with AI, and keeps your whole collection in your pocket.
Coming soon to the App Store See how it works
A comic book inventory app built for real collections
📸 Build your inventory, box by box
Camera and voice capture with AI analysis for grading and pricing. Your whole inventory stays on your phone, always with you, ready to be searched by text or by photographing a cover.
🔎 Advanced Grading
A 16-point condition checklist across up to eight photos, with every finding annotated on your own pictures. Know which books are worth sending to a professional grading service before you spend the fee.
🏷️ Barcode your books, then trust them
Labels make your collection scannable. Scan a Stack reads a pile in seconds and totals what it is worth. Audit Box scans a box back to the truth and hands you the issues: books that moved, sold, or went missing.
🖥️ Share it, publish it, sell it
Send any part of your collection to friends or buyers. Publish a searchable kiosk page customers can browse. Review and price on a big screen with the Admin page, then export an Auction pack that makes eBay listings easy, photos included.
🔥 Hot Books
A curated view of comic industry news, showing you which books might be worth buying and which ones you already own. The matching happens on your phone.
🔒 Private by architecture
Your collection lives on your device. There is no account and no login, and the backend never sees what you own. Nothing to breach.
⚡ Credits, not subscriptions
A weekly free allowance covers casual collecting. Buy credits when you need a big weekend. No recurring anything.
⚠️ One honest warning
Getting organized has a side effect nobody warns you about. Once you can finally see what you have, know where it is, and know what it's worth, the boxes stop being a chore in the closet and start being a collection again. You start noticing the gaps in a run. You remember why you loved this stuff.
We are not responsible for what that does to your want list, your weekends, or your shelf space. Some of us have gone so far as to sell books purely to make room for more books.
How does this all fit on my phone?
Because the facts about a comic are tiny, and the app is smart about the photos. A book's record (title, issue, grade, price, your comments, all of it) takes a few kilobytes. The photographs are where the space goes, so every cover is sized on the way to disk: sharp enough to see, search, zoom, and list on eBay, at a small fraction of the 12-megapixel original you'd never use.
The philosophy: nobody buys a valuable book off a phone photograph. High-fidelity photos matter when the AI grades a book, so those are taken at grading time and kept at higher quality. For everything else, seeing and searching your whole collection beats museum-quality copies of it. Space saver mode is the default; a Storage screen in Settings shows exactly where your bytes go.
