Near Mint3.0.2 - App Store

Your collection’s sidekick.

Near Mint is fast and local-first, keeping your collection available on your device. No Near Mint account or separate login is required. There are no subscriptions, in-app purchases, or additional fees.

Near Mint is a home for cataloging, exploring, and enjoying your comics. Record the details that matter, add cover photos, and keep even a large collection easy to navigate.

FIND ANY COMIC FAST

Search by exact issue number or the beginning of a title. If there is no direct title match, Near Mint can find titles from letters in order. Advanced filters let you combine title and Notes searches with grade, Reading, Selling, and cover-photo criteria-including while adding comics to a Stack.

ORGANIZE IT YOUR WAY

Keep dedicated Reading and Selling lists, then create custom Stacks for anything else-favorite runs, conventions, creators, boxes, wish lists, or whatever fits your collection. Touch and hold a comic for quick actions, or swipe through the issues in a Stack.

SEE THE COLLECTION BEHIND THE NUMBERS

The Stats tab summarizes comics, titles, cover photos, grades, recent additions, Reading, Selling, and custom Stacks. Tap an actionable card to open the comics behind the number.

PUT THE COVERS FRONT AND CENTER

Add cover images from the camera or photo library, browse them in a dedicated Covers tab, and share the original locally stored file. Choose the cover size used in lists without changing the underlying image.

PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF

Recently Visited titles appear at the top of Collection, while recently viewed issues appear within each title. Choose how much history Near Mint remembers or clear it without changing your collection.

LOCAL FIRST, WITH ICLOUD WHEN YOU WANT IT

Your collection remains available locally. Collection details can sync through iCloud when available, and optional iCloud Covers can keep recovery copies of locally stored cover images and restore missing files. Import or export a Near Mint collection document whenever you want a separate portable copy of its details.

BEYOND THE MAIN APP

Use Featured, Stats, and Covers widgets. Add and find comics with Siri or Shortcuts. Find collection entries from Spotlight. Check Near Mint on Apple Watch, and use it on Mac as well as iPhone and iPad.

Whether you have a focused pull list or shelves of back issues, Near Mint keeps the collection yours, understandable, and ready when you need it.
