One app for your records and your books
What I Already Own catalogs records (vinyl, CDs, cassettes) and books in the same collection. The scan tells an ISBN from a record's barcode on its own, with nothing to choose first. One subscription, €3.95 a month or €39.95 a year, covers both, on phone and computer, after a 7-day trial.
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
Many collectors own records and books, and cataloging apps split them apart: one app per category, sometimes one subscription for the phone and another for the computer. You end up with two lists, two searches, and no overall view of what you own.
How the app handles it
- 1Scan without choosingAn ISBN is read as a book, any other barcode as a record. You aim, the app finds the edition.
- 2Organize it your wayEverything sits in one collection, sortable by type and split into shelves: “Living room vinyl”, “Crime novels”, “To sell”.
- 3Follow both sidesBook series, discographies and bibliographies share the same “What you're missing” screen, in the same app.

Frequently asked questions
- Why one app for records and books?
- Because many collections mix both, and the question in the store is the same: do I already own this? One collection means one search and one export.
- How much does the app cost for records and books?
- €3.95 a month or €39.95 a year, taxes included, for both categories, on phone and computer. The trial lasts 7 days; your card is asked for at the start, and nothing is charged if you cancel before it ends.
- My records are on Discogs and my books elsewhere. How do I bring them together?
- Import each export file, one after the other: Discogs, CLZ, Libib, or a spreadsheet with a barcode or ISBN per line. Everything lands in the same collection, and nothing already there is added twice.
- Can I add my films or games?
- No. What I Already Own focuses on records and books, for which its catalog finds the exact edition.
