Cataloging Software for Windows
Why use a catalog program at all?
Collections grow faster than memory. DVDs turn into folders of MKV files, bookshelves turn into EPUB drives, and suddenly you cannot remember whether you already own a title or where you put it. Cataloging software gives every item a card with cover art, metadata, tags and search — the same idea as a library catalog, but for your own media.
Bolide Software focuses on two flagship organizers below. We also list a few trusted tools for other types of collections.
All My Movies — movie & TV catalog
All My Movies is a movie organizer for home video libraries. Point it at a folder and it can scan video files, pull details from TMDB and other online sources, and build a searchable database with posters, cast, ratings and notes. Track watched titles, launch a file for playback from the catalog, export to HTML, and browse your collection on a virtual shelf.

All My Books — book, ebook & audiobook catalog
All My Books is a book database program for printed books, ebooks and audiobooks. Enter a title, author or ISBN and the program fills in the rest — cover, description, series, and more. Use it as a home library catalog, an ebook organizer, or a reading log with loan tracking.

Almost anything you need to find again later:
- Files on external drives — disk catalog tools such as WinCatalog index folders without copying files.
- Documents — desktop search and document indexers help locate PDFs and Office files across drives.
- Coins & collectibles — specialized apps like OpenNumismat for numismatics.
Universal “catalog everything” apps exist, but in practice a focused tool for movies, books or photos plus a spreadsheet for odd items works best for most people.
Duplicate files cluttering your drives?
Catalogs help you find what you own; duplicate removers help you reclaim disk space when the same photo, song or video was copied more than once.
