Import your Comic Collector, Card Collector, Movie Collector, or Book Collector CSV in seconds. One-time $19.99. No CLZ Cloud. No forum bug-report needed when sync breaks.
We can't lose your data when their cloud goes down — we don't use a cloud.
CLZ Cloud is a third-party server you depend on for sync. AssetVault's catalog lives in SQLite on your device. There is no AssetVault server, no nightly sync, no "the API is down" forum post to write. That's also why we can charge once instead of yearly: no servers means no recurring infrastructure cost.

Works for Comic Collector, Card Collector, Movie Collector, Book Collector, Music Collector, and Game Collector — all use the same export format.
CLZ stores cover scans on their Core database — they're not in the CSV export. You have two options:
Keep CLZ installed until you've re-attached photos you care about. Take screenshots of the cover art in CLZ, or use your phone to photograph the actual comic/card/book, then attach in AssetVault.
Or skip the covers. Many collectors only care about the data — condition, issue number, value. Cover images are gorgeous but not essential for insurance documentation or resale tracking.
No. We're phone-first by design. Your full catalog is on the device in your pocket — export a PDF or CSV whenever you need it on a bigger screen. We don't maintain a separate desktop codebase that can fall out of sync with the mobile app (a known CLZ pain point).
Their Core database is a nice discovery tool for filling in cover art and release data. AssetVault doesn't replicate it. Our focus is tracking your collection, not cataloging every release that exists. The AI photo identification (Collector+) handles the "what is this?" problem differently — point your camera at an item and it identifies what you have.
Yes. SQLite database on your phone. External services: RevenueCat (purchase verification), Sentry (crash reports that never include your items), and optional Gemini (AI photo ID, only if you enable Collector+). Nothing else phones home.
CSV import handles thousands of rows. We've tested up to 15,000 items on a mid-tier iPhone. Photos scale with your storage. If you're near iCloud storage limits, use the Full Export feature regularly to archive to a Mac.
