One collection companion. Two platforms.
The core collection tools are available on Android, iPhone and iPad. System integrations follow the platform you use.
Android phones & tablets
Google Drive sync between your Android devices, a home screen widget for current rotation and upcoming care, QR label scanning, local reminders, adaptive layouts and app-icon shortcuts on supported launchers.
iPhone & iPad
iCloud sync between Apple devices. Apple integrations include Spotlight, Siri and Shortcuts, packaging recognition and supported Lock Screen, Control Centre and Action button controls.
Personalise your vault
Six themes: Cream, White, Sakura, NibVault, Black and Garnet. Choose separate light and dark themes, follow device appearance, and select one of six app icons or match your theme.
Move between platforms
Google Drive and iCloud sync remain separate. Use a complete NibVault backup to transfer your collection, photographs and history between Android and iOS.
Widgets and shortcuts depend on your device and launcher. Care notifications require permission. Packaging recognition is currently available on iPhone and iPad only.
