GuideVault

Features

Organize game print media without forcing everything into one generic shelf.

GuideVault separates manuals, strategy guides, and magazines so each item can be browsed, read, and described in the way that makes sense for that media type.

🏠

Home library

Start from a dashboard-style home view with recently added entries and content-type sections for Manuals, Strategy Guides, and Magazines.

📚

Type-specific browsing

Keep manuals, strategy guides, and magazines separated while still being able to browse all content together when needed.

Favorites and collections

Mark important items as favorites and organize content into collections such as franchises, series, systems, or custom shelves.

🎮

Platform-aware items

Associate content with one or more platforms. Multi-platform guides can be represented without pretending they belong to only one system.

🔎

Search and filtering

Find content by title, system, publisher, tags, content type, and other metadata as the library grows.

🛠

Library maintenance

Use metadata editing and normalization workflows to clean up imported files, standardize fields, and improve browsing over time.

Built for large personal archives.

GuideVault is useful whether you have a small favorite shelf or thousands of scanned items. The interface is designed around quick navigation, cover browsing, and details pages that expose useful metadata without leaving the library.

Cover grid browsing

Adjust cover size, sort recently added items, and browse by content category.

Details pages

Review item identity, cover art, overview text, metadata, file information, reading profile settings, and notes.

Reader access

Open the reader directly from the item details page or library card.
