Find Anything Instantly

The value of a catalog is not just recording items. It is being able to find the right one later without scanning through folders, notes, or bins manually.

Full-Text Search

Search across item names, notes, and property values. Results appear as you type so the collection feels usable even after it grows well past the “small hobby list” stage.

Sort by Any Property

Sort by whatever matters for the collection: title, date, value, condition, location, or any other custom field. The same data can be useful in very different orders depending on what you are trying to do.

Filter and Narrow Down

Filter by tags, property values, or combinations of criteria to narrow down a large collection quickly. That makes the app useful not just for cataloging, but for actual retrieval and decision-making.

Why it matters

This is another place where MDCollections works well alongside Obsidian. Obsidian can remain the broader note environment, while MDCollections handles the faster browse-and-find workflow for collection data.
