For LEGO collectors

Catalogue your LEGO collection without typing every set name by hand.

ClearBench is a native desktop app for LEGO collectors who want a real catalogue without shipping their inventory to a third-party server. Type the set number, and the set name, theme, year, piece count, and minifigure count fill in from a local copy of the Rebrickable database. The set numbers never leave your machine. Neither does anything else you record.

Three things, done well.

ClearBench isn't trying to be a database, a label printer, and a cloud sync product all at once. It's a focused desktop app that does the three things LEGO collectors actually need.

Type the number, get the set

Type a five-digit set number, tab out, and the set name, theme, year released, piece count, and minifigure count fill in from a local copy of the Rebrickable database. No round-trip to a server. No login. Just a faster way to build a catalogue you don't have to type by hand.

Track what's actually yours

Build state (Built, Sealed, Partially built, Parted out, On display). Set condition on a six-step scale. Box and manual on their own separate scales because paper goods age differently from bricks. Display lit, retired, regional variants. Everything that's true about your copy, in fields that fit how collectors think.

Keep your inventory private

Your collection is a complete map of what's worth taking from your house. ClearBench stores everything on your computer. No account, no cross-device sync that ships your inventory anywhere, no analytics on what you record. The only network traffic is the one-off reference database download and per-set image fetches you click to trigger.

Built for LEGO collecting, not generic cataloguing.

The fields are the ones you'd expect to see in a serious LEGO catalogue: the official identity from the database, the specific things about your copy, the boring-but-essential acquisition and valuation rows.

Set numberthe lookup key, drives every autofill on this row

ThemeStar Wars, Technic, Creator Expert, Ideas, and so on; extensible picker
Subthemefree-text, like Ultimate Collector Series or Master Builder Series
Year releasedautofilled from Rebrickable
Part countautofilled, the number of pieces in the set as designed
Minifigure countautofilled, counts the figures inside the set, not loose extras
Retiredflag for out-of-production sets, the ones that carry the secondary-market premium
Variant / regionalfree-text, like UK exclusive, San Diego Comic-Con, or misprint variants
StatusBuilt / Sealed / Partially built / Parted out / On display
Conditionsix-step Mint → Poor scale for the set as a whole
Has box / Box conditionseparate boolean + condition; box is a paper good that ages differently
Has manual / Manual conditionsame idea for instructions: water rings, creases, missing cover
Display litflag for whether an LED kit is installed
Locationwhere the set physically lives, extensible picker
Acquisition (date, source, cost, story)when, who from, how much, and the story of how it came in
Valuation (estimated value, date, source)current value and where the number came from
All schema-editable. Add, remove, rename, or rearrange any field.
Photos attach per-set; the first photo becomes the cover the catalogue shows on grids and lists. Revision history tracks every edit. Each field can be shown or hidden in the detail view as you prefer.

Your collection never leaves your computer.

A full LEGO inventory is a map of valuable, easily-resold items. ClearBench's privacy architecture isn't a marketing line. It's the only sensible default for collection data of this shape.

Lookups run locally

The Rebrickable reference database lives on your computer after a one-time download. Every set-number lookup queries the local file. The set numbers you type don't go anywhere.

Images are opt-in per set

Set images aren't pre-cached. The first time you want to see the official image for a particular set, you click a button and ClearBench fetches it once from Rebrickable's CDN. Cached locally after, never re-fetched without your action.

No analytics on your records

No telemetry on what you type, photograph, or print. We don't track which sets you catalogue, which ones you mark sealed, or where you keep them.

Backups stay yours

Full-catalogue backups are plain .clearbench JSON files you save where you want: your hard drive, an encrypted external, your own cloud. Export any collection straight to CSV, Excel, or plain text for sharing or round-tripping through Excel after a bulk edit.

Labels for the display shelf or the storage bin.

Six bundled templates from clean to ornate, with full control over font, size, and alignment. All text rendered as SVG paths via opentype.js, pixel-accurate at every zoom and on every printer. The set number does the work of the universal collection-number slot, so your labels read in collector vocabulary, not cataloguer vocabulary.

Common questions from LEGO collectors.

Does it send my set numbers to Rebrickable's servers?

+

No. ClearBench bundles a downloaded copy of the Rebrickable database. The first time you open a LEGO collection you'll be asked once whether to install it; from then on every set-number lookup runs locally against the file on your computer. The set number you typed never leaves your machine. The reference database file lives at a path you can inspect and delete any time from Settings.

What does the set-number lookup actually fill in?

+

Type the set number into the first field of a new item and tab out, and the lookup fills the set name, theme, year released, piece count, and minifigure count from your local copy of the Rebrickable database. You can edit anything afterwards. Subtheme, variant, and any condition or acquisition details are yours to type because they're specific to your copy of the set, not the design.

What about set photos? Does it pre-download images for every set?

+

No. Image downloads are per-set and opt-in. The first time you want to see the official image for a set, you click a button on that item's page and ClearBench fetches it once from Rebrickable's CDN, caches it locally, and never asks again. Your library doesn't pre-cache thousands of images you'll never look at, and the lookup carries only the public set number, nothing about your copy.

How does the build-state tracking work?

+

Every LEGO item carries a status field with the build states collectors actually use: Built, Sealed, Partially built, Parted out, and On display. The set condition is its own field (Mint / Near mint / Excellent / Good / Fair / Poor), and the box and instruction manual have separate condition fields with their own scale (Mint / Near mint / Light wear / Heavy wear / Damaged / Opened & resealed) because paper goods age differently from bricks. There are flags for whether you have the original box, whether you have the manual, and whether you display it lit (LED kit installed).

Can it track set values for insurance?

+

Yes. Each LEGO item has Estimated value, Valuation date, and Valuation source on the Valuation tab, plus acquisition cost on the Details tab. A collection report PDF lists every set with its identity, condition, current value, and a label preview, the document insurers ask for, generated on your computer without anything leaving it.

Will the labels print on standard sheets?

+

The print composer renders an A4 sheet with a 4×7 grid (28 labels at 50×40mm), centred with margins to match the most common cabinet-label sheet sizes. PDF output is exact-size; what you see on screen is what comes out of the printer. Custom sheet sizes for non-Avery formats are on the roadmap.

What about updates to the Rebrickable database?

+

Database updates are user-initiated. From Settings → Reference data you can check for an update, see how big the new version is, and download it. ClearBench will never silently re-download a multi-megabyte file in the background. If a set hasn't been catalogued yet (a brand-new release the snapshot doesn't know about), you can still create the item: you just type the fields yourself and re-run the lookup later when the next snapshot ships.

Selling, not just collecting?

ClearBench has a full dealer side: a stock list kept separate from your collection, show mode that tracks every sale from setup to pack-up, sales and ROI reports, and price-tag sheets from the same label engine. Same app, same privacy, no extra purchase.
