Wishlist: want it now, own it later

Track things you plan to buy, then promote them to your real collection when they arrive.

The Wishlist is a special collection for things you don’t own yet. It stays out of your collection totals and your exports, but it lives alongside everything else, so a wishlisted item has the same catalog details, pictures, and prices as one on the shelf.

Add something to the Wishlist on iPhone or iPad

  1. Scan or photograph the item as normal.
  2. On the card, tap Wishlist — on the photo card it reads Add to Wishlist — instead of Add to Collection.
  3. The item lands in the Wishlist with a purple badge, and remembers which category it really belongs to.

Wishlist is easy on Mac

The fastest way to build a wishlist is to drag any image into the Klepto Mac window while you’re browsing.

  1. Find something you want online — eBay, an artist’s store, a hobby forum.
  2. Drag the product photo straight from Safari (or Finder, or Messages, or anywhere else) into Klepto.
  3. Klepto identifies it and offers Add to Collection or Add to Wishlist.
  4. Pick Add to Wishlist.

No barcode, no scanning, no leaving the browser tab.

Promote a wishlist item to owned

  1. Open the item from the Wishlist.
  2. Tap Move to My Collection, just below the Collection and Location rows. The note under it names the category it will go to.

  1. It jumps to its real category — LEGO Sets, Board Games, whatever it was identified as — and comes off the Wishlist.

Scan something that’s already on your Wishlist and Klepto says so, with Move to Collection right on the card.

Tips

  • Wishlist items don’t count toward “items in your collection” on the home screen, and never appear in a PDF or CSV export. They do count toward the free tier’s 50 items.
  • The share button at the top of the Wishlist renders the whole list as one image — handy for sending a birthday list.
  • Don’t use it? Settings → Features → Wishlist turns it off, and the Wishlist button leaves the cards.
