See which books and albums you're missing
For every series, discography and bibliography you've started, What I Already Own counts what you already own (“5 of 7”) and lists what's missing, in reading or release order. The list builds itself from the records and books you scan: nothing to keep up to date by hand.
Scanning is free. At your first add: 7-day trial at €0, card required, then €3.95 a month or €39.95 a year, records and books included, cancel anytime. Your collection stays exportable.
The problem
In a twenty-volume series bought over the years, or the discography of a band that reissued every album, you lose track of what you have. You buy volume 7 twice, forget volume 12, and the lists you find online mix editions, specials and compilations. A notebook or a spreadsheet needs updating, and it's never with you at the right moment.
How the app handles it
- 1Scan your records and booksEach item you add is linked to its work, its series, its artist or its author, from the catalog.
- 2Open “What you're missing”From your collection, one screen lists the series, discographies and bibliographies where you own at least one title, with “5 of 7”.
- 3See what's missing, in orderVolumes in reading order, studio albums and books in release order: what you own is marked, the rest is still to find.
- 4Keep a wishlistTap “I want it” on a missing title and it joins your wishlist, which your family can see through a link. It drops off on its own once you add it to your collection.
What your series are missing

What the app doesn't do
- For a discography, only studio albums count: live albums, compilations and singles are not flagged as missing.
- A series whose numbering has gaps in the open data sources doesn't appear: the app can't tell you what's missing from an uncertain list.
- It gives no price for the titles you're missing.

Frequently asked questions
- Which series can the app complete?
- Those numbered from 1 to the end without gaps and recognized by Wikidata or by a page in our catalog, up to 100 volumes. Beyond that, it's a publisher's imprint, not a series to complete.
- Can I see the volumes in a series without an account?
- Yes. The public catalog pages give the reading order of series, discographies and bibliographies. You can tick what you own there, then save your list by creating an account.
- Why isn't a live album counted?
- Completeness for a discography covers studio albums, the list collectors follow. Live albums, compilations and singles stay visible on the artist's page, without being counted as missing.
- Can I note the titles I'm looking for?
- Yes: “I want it” on a missing title adds it to your wishlist. You can show it to your family on a share link; a wish disappears as soon as the title enters your collection.
