Overview

Koillection is a robust, self-hosted web application designed to empower users with complete control over their personal collections. Unlike cloud-based solutions, Koillection ensures that all your data, from items and signs to wishlists and tags, resides securely on your own server. This commitment to privacy and data ownership is a core tenet of the platform, making it an ideal choice for individuals who prioritize sovereignty over their digital assets.

The tool offers flexible management capabilities, allowing users to organize their collections in a way that suits their specific needs. Beyond personal organization, Koillection facilitates sharing, enabling users to selectively grant access to their collections while maintaining full control over visibility. It also supports multi-user environments, where others can be invited to manage their own independent collections on the same server, fostering a collaborative yet private ecosystem. As an open-source project, Koillection benefits from community contributions, ensuring continuous improvement and adaptability, and its PWA functionality delivers a smooth, app-like experience across various devices.
