NibVault

NibVault keeps a private, detailed record of your fountain pens and inks. Made for collectors, it keeps useful information close at hand without requiring a NibVault account. Your collection stays on your device, with optional private Google Drive sync.

Catalogue and organise your collection

• Record makers, models, variants, colours, materials, nibs, filling systems, capacity, condition, acquisition details, value and notes
• Add multiple photographs with full-screen viewing and zoom
• Rate individual pens and inks from zero to five stars
• Organise items into nested locations such as Study / Cabinet / Drawer 2
• Browse, search, filter, favourite and archive records without losing their history
• Add pens and inks from the reference catalogue or create custom entries
• Suggest missing catalogue products from your custom entries, with product details prefilled for review and private collection information excluded

Pens, inks and pairings
