Free forever up to 100 items.
All four Delicious Library categories plus 31 more, in one web account. Barcode scanning, public collection page, automatic backups.

Start free →Why collectors switch to Vitrine
Your collection stays safe and accessible
Vitrine is a live, actively maintained web platform. Every item is backed up automatically and exportable to CSV anytime. No risk of the app disappearing on you.
Catalogue anything you collect
Books, movies, games, vinyl, coins, stamps, comics, trading cards, LEGO, art, wine, watches. 35 built-in categories with custom fields for anything that does not fit a template.
A public collection page worth sharing
Every account gets a public-facing page. Share your library with friends, family, or fellow collectors. Delicious Library never offered this.
Where Delicious Library leaves you stuck
Delicious Library no longer exists
The app shut down in November 2024. There is no way to buy it, no support, and no official migration path. Any data still inside the app is at risk every time macOS updates.
Mac-only, no web, no mobile
Delicious Library was a desktop app for one platform. Your collection lived on one machine. No browser access, no phone app, no way to check your library when you were not at your computer.
Locked to four collection types
Books, DVDs, games, music. That was the entire list. Collectors of coins, stamps, trading cards, vinyl, comics, or anything else had nowhere to go.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know Vitrine will not shut down too?
A fair question after losing Delicious Library. Vitrine is a paid subscription business with active development, automatic cloud backups, and CSV export on every plan. If anything ever changes, you can take your data with you. Your collection is not locked in proprietary desktop software the way it was with Delicious Library.
Can I recover my Delicious Library data?
If the app still opens, export your data immediately via File → Export before your next macOS update breaks compatibility. The XML export converts cleanly to CSV and imports into Vitrine.
Does Vitrine work on Mac?
Vitrine is a web app that works in any browser on any device: Mac, PC, iPhone, Android, tablet. Nothing to install.
Can Vitrine catalogue the same things as Delicious Library?
Yes, plus much more. Books, movies, games, and music are all supported, alongside coins, stamps, trading cards, vinyl records, LEGO, art, wine, watches, and any custom collection type. 35 built-in categories in total.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Community plan is free and supports up to 100 items. The Hobbyist plan at £5/month supports up to 1,000 items and unlocks CSV import.
