Collection software for serious collectors.
We build the tools collectors wish existed — software that understands what you own as deeply as you do. Our first is Longboxed, the collection manager for comics and graphic novels.
We make software for people who keep things.
Collectors have always made do with spreadsheets and memory. We think the hobby deserves real software — fast, private, and built by people who actually collect. That's the whole company.
Catalog & inventory
Scan-to-add, deep metadata, runs, keys, grades, and value — collection knowledge as a first-class product, not a database dump.
Spatial & visual tools
Planograms, spine walls, and to-scale shelf maps. We treat a collection as a physical thing you can see and arrange, not just rows.
Privacy by architecture
Your collection is yours. We design so operators can't browse your shelves and your data is never the product. Security is the default, not a setting.
What we're building
One product, shipping today and built with real depth — with the studio's approach designed to extend to the next collecting categories.
Longboxed
The collection manager for comic and graphic-novel collectors. Catalog every issue, see your runs and gaps, track value, and map your shelves — a private workstation for the hobby.
More collecting categories
The engine behind Longboxed — catalog, value, and shelf tools — is built to travel. Books, trading cards, and other collectibles are where we're headed next.
How we build
Collectors first
Every decision is judged by whether it helps someone love and understand their collection more. We build for the hobby, not the spreadsheet.
Depth over breadth
We'd rather know comics deeply — runs, arcs, creators, keys — than know everything shallowly. Real domain knowledge is the product.
Private by default
Your collection isn't our inventory to sell. We architect for privacy so your shelves stay yours.
Craft is the point
From the scanner to the spine wall, it should feel considered. Software for a tactile hobby should be a pleasure to hold.
Built by a collector, in Gotham.
Gotham IT Innovations is an independent software studio in New York, founded by Zach Thomason. It started the way good tools usually do — with a real itch: a growing comic collection, a tangle of spreadsheets, and the conviction that the hobby deserved something better.
We're small on purpose. That keeps us close to the people we build for and lets us obsess over the details — the scan that just works, the shelf that maps to scale, the value that's actually right. Longboxed is the first thing we've made. It won't be the last.
Let's build something collectors love.
Partnerships, press, design, or just to talk shop about the hobby — the door's open.
