ABOUT PACKIE

We are building the fastest way to know exactly what's in your collection — one photo at a time.

Every collector knows the feeling: a box of loose cartridges, no labels, half of them regional variants you can't quite place. Packie was born to end that guesswork. Point your camera, and our AI tells you the title, platform, region, variant and serial — then files it neatly on a digital shelf.

Why a squirrel?

Packie is an 8-bit squirrel with thick glasses and a hoarding problem. He never throws anything away, remembers every serial number he has ever seen, and gets genuinely upset when a cartridge is filed on the wrong shelf. He is the pack rat we all are inside — the perfect mascot for a tool built to catalogue everything you love.

What we are building

Packie starts with retro and modern video games: a cross-checked database of more than 75,000 verified releases across 62 platforms, from the Famicom to the PlayStation 5. The recognition engine reaches about 92% accuracy and flags multicarts and known bootlegs instead of guessing. Figures, trading cards and vinyl are next on the roadmap.

Where we are

Packie is coming soon. The recognition engine and database are already built and being tested on real cartridges. Want a ping the moment we open? Drop us a line below.
