Hardcopy is a collection manager for people who own physical movies. Scan a Blu-ray, DVD, or 4K UHD barcode to add it to a library, or search for a title and enter its format and shelf location. Filter the collection by format, genre, and watched status, and keep owned films separate from a wishlist and a watchlist. Custom lists can organize a genre, mood, or shelf, while a randomizer picks something from the current filtered collection. The app also surfaces trending titles and creates shareable title cards when you add a film. The developer describes Hardcopy as free, ad-free, and without a subscription. It requires iOS 15.5 or later. The barcode flow uses the camera, but manual title search is also available.
