Collectyx Feature List — Astryx Tools

Core Library Management

Full reading history — track books you've read, with re-reads recorded as separate entries rather than overwriting the last one.
Prioritized to-be-read list — maintain a ranked reading queue with manual reordering.
Personal library catalogue — keep a record of the physical and digital books you own.
One consistent Add/Edit flow — the same experience across My Library, Books Read, and To Be Read.
Check-out / check-in tracking — loan books to friends with patron name and date recorded.
One record, shared everywhere — a normalized data model means the same physical book is one record, not a separate copy per list.
Mark Finished, instantly — move a book from To Be Read or My Library into your reading history without re-typing title or author.
Built to grow beyond books — the schema is designed to extend to DVDs, CDs, and other media types without a rework.

Unlimited, flexible tagging — no rigid category system to fight against.
Full Tags management — add, rename, and delete tags, each with a live usage count.
Sort tags your way — by name, usage count, or last updated.
Safe tag deletion — optionally substitute another tag so removing one doesn't leave books untagged.
Tag autocomplete — suggestions drawn from your existing tag vocabulary as you type.
Built for large tag vocabularies — a scrollable tag picker that stays usable with hundreds of tags, not just a handful.

Instant quick search — search across title, author, and tags at once.
Combined text and tag search — mix a free-text word and a #tag in a single query.
Tokenized search — multiple words are matched together automatically; quoted phrases match exactly.
Advanced filter panel — per-field operators including contains, equals, is empty, greater/less than, and date ranges.
Live filtering — results update as you type or adjust filters, no "Apply" button required.
One-click reset — clear quick search or advanced filters instantly.
Adjustable records per page — from compact pages to viewing your entire library at once.
Fast pagination — jump straight to any page of a large library instead of clicking through one page at a time.
Live page preview — see what you'll land on before you get there while navigating pages.

One book, one record — reading history, to-be-read status, and library ownership all reference the same underlying item.
Find Duplicates & Merge — consolidate accidental duplicate entries with field-by-field conflict resolution.

At-a-glance dashboard — total books, total pages, this-year progress, and average pace.
Recently finished — your latest completed books, right on the dashboard.
Reading goal tracking — visual progress against a daily page target.
What's Next — a preview of your top-ranked to-be-read titles.
Books checked out — a quick card for keeping track of loaned books.
Rearrangeable dashboard — reorder cards to match how you actually use the app.
Yearly statistics — year-over-year trend charts for your reading.
Top tags by usage — your most-used tags, visible without digging through the Tags view.

Open, human-readable export — your full library, exported in a format you can actually read.
One-click backup — with optional compression.
Guided restore — a two-step flow with a clear before/after comparison before anything is overwritten.
Nothing locked in — your library data is yours, in a format you can reuse without Collectyx.

Native desktop app — for Windows, macOS, and Linux — fast, offline-first, local use.
Browser-based web version — no install required.
Consistent everywhere — the same features and behavior on desktop and web.
Responsive layout — adapts from a full desktop sidebar down to a compact mobile view.

Selectable visual themes — including a low-light/dark option.
Adjustable font size — independent of your browser or OS settings.
Colorblind-considerate design — status and meaning are never conveyed by color alone.
Context-aware navigation — a collapsible menu that shows only the actions relevant to what you're currently doing.

Local-first architecture — your library lives on your device by default, not in someone else's cloud.

Planned, not yet available.

Multi-device sync — optionally follow your library across desktop and web installs.
ISBN barcode scanning — fast mobile entry by scanning a book's barcode.
Android companion app — bringing Collectyx to your pocket.
