Every stamp you own, what it is, and what it's worth.
Philatelist keeps your collection in one private place: each stamp's issue, denomination, year, and colour, how it was printed, its perforation and watermark, its gum, centring, and faults, its expert certificate, and photos of the front and back. It keeps what you paid and from whom, what each stamp is worth over time, and how close you are to finishing each set.

📮 Every detail
Country, issue, denomination, year, colour, design, printing, perforation, watermark, paper, plate, and your own catalogue numbers. Stamps, blocks and plate blocks, coils, booklets, souvenir sheets, covers, and first day covers. Pick its issue from the Philapedia, and how it was made fills in.
🔍 Condition and certificates
Gum and hinging (never hinged to used), centring from very good to gem, faults, the cancel, and the expert who signed its certificate, with the number (encrypted). A guide explains every term.
📖 The Philapedia
Key stamps of the world: the classics, the long-running definitives, the famous errors, and the popular issues, each with how it was printed, its perforation and watermark, its key stamps, and how to tell it from its look-alikes.
📚 Sets and a want list
An issue's every value, a run of years, a stretch of your catalogue's numbers, or a list of your own. Fill each place from your stamps, and put what's missing on your want list, to print for a show.
🔐 Private and safe
Where each stamp is kept, certificate numbers, buyers, and every photo and paper are encrypted. Inventory checks for an album, a safe, or a bank box. Share it with a partner or an heir, to look at or to help keep.
🧾 Reports when you need them
An insurance inventory with photos, a theft or loss report with certificate numbers, sales and gains by year, and an estate summary for whoever looks after it one day.
Philatelist keeps your records. The values are your own estimates; it isn't an appraisal, or financial, tax, or legal advice. See the guide for how to identify, describe, and grade a stamp.
