Prove the games on your shelf.

Chamberla Collector tracks the physical games you own on every console. Scan a barcode and the game is marked verified, so your collection shows what is real, not just what is claimed.

Scan games by barcode in the Android app or in Safari and Chrome on your phone. You can also type the number under the barcode.

A game counts when you can show it

Anyone can tick a box. Verification checks the real thing in your hands. The barcode is the reliable step. The label check is newer and still improving.

  1. Scan the barcode

    Point the camera at the box. If the barcode matches the title, the game is marked verified.

  2. Check the label (beta)

    Photograph the printed code on a disc or cartridge and the app compares it with known codes for that title. It works on about 30 consoles, but reading the print is hit and miss, and many newer consoles have no code list yet. Loose games can use it too.

  3. Get double-checked

    When both the barcode and the label match, the game shows as double-checked. Profiles count verified and double-checked games separately, so a plain barcode scan is still worth showing.

Your whole shelf, console by console

  • Completion. See how much of each console's library you own, from Atari to Switch.
  • Value. An estimated total from market prices, kept honest: it is self-reported, not an appraisal.
  • Streaks and milestones. Daily check-ins and collection goals earn XP and badges.
  • Loose, boxed or sealed. Record the condition of every copy.

Compare shelves with friends

Add friends with a code or an invite link. Rankings, shared events and a shared family library keep the hobby social.

  • Leaderboard. See who is closest to finishing a console.
  • Household library. Couples and families can share one pool of games, with your own library kept separate.
