Why catalog your game collection?
Retro game collecting has exploded in popularity, and many collectors have amassed libraries spanning dozens of platforms and hundreds of titles. Keeping track of what you own, what condition it's in, and what you still need is a challenge that only gets harder as your collection grows.
ShelvesAI makes it easy. Photograph your game shelf and we identify every title visible. No more maintaining spreadsheets or scrolling through apps adding games one at a time. A shelf of 30 games becomes a cataloged collection in seconds.
Every platform, every generation
From Atari 2600 cartridges to PS5 cases, ShelvesAI handles physical games across all console generations. The vision system reads spine text and case art, so it works with jewel cases, cardboard boxes, plastic clamshells, and cartridges alike. Your entire multi-platform collection lives in one searchable catalog.
More than an inventory
A good game catalog does more than list what you own. ShelvesAI lets you tag games, add notes about condition or completeness, and search your collection by platform, genre, or developer. Looking for all your RPGs? Every complete-in-box SNES game? A quick filter gives you the answer.
And if you want to show off your collection, make it public. The ShelvesAI social feed connects you with other game collectors who appreciate the hobby as much as you do.
How it works
Photograph your game shelf
Snap a photo of your game shelf, display case, or stack. ShelvesAI reads case spines and cartridge labels to identify each title.

Frequently asked questions
- Does ShelvesAI work with retro game cartridges?
- Yes. ShelvesAI can identify cartridge-based games (NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, Game Boy, etc.) as long as the label text is visible in the photo. Cartridges stored in a shelf with labels facing out work best.
- Can I track which platform each game is for?
- Absolutely. When ShelvesAI identifies a game, it includes the platform information. If you own the same game on multiple platforms, each version appears as its own entry in your catalog.
- How do I catalog loose cartridges vs. complete-in-box games?
- ShelvesAI identifies the game itself from the visible text or artwork. You can then add notes about whether the game is loose, complete in box, or sealed. Whatever details matter to you as a collector, you can track them.
- Does it work with PC game boxes?
- ShelvesAI can identify physical PC game boxes that have visible spine text. Big-box PC games from the 90s and 2000s with clearly printed spines work well.
- Can I see my collection stats, like how many games per platform?
- Yes. Your catalog is fully searchable and filterable. Create a shelf per platform and then snap a photo of your collection. Coming soon, you can also browse by platform to see everything you own for a specific console and the app shows your total collection count.
