I tried to set one up myself in Excel.
Everything else was just too much."

At some point it's more than you can hold in your head.
It's all there. Just not somewhere you can see it.

You didn't keep all of this by accident.
Every piece stayed for a reason.

Simple from
day one.

Scan it
Point your camera at any barcode
Search it
Find it by title, artist, or album
Type it
No barcode needed, no problem

You pick it up. You scan it.

And suddenly you remember exactly
when you got that one.

Where you were. What was happening.
Why you kept it.

One by one, it all comes back.

Spotify doesn't have your copy of that. Apple Music doesn't know you bought it twice. This is ownership. Your name on it. Your URL. Your database.
No monthly fee. No algorithm. No one else's catalog. Just yours.

Dionne Nicole and her father David Burks, founder story of DavidArchive
Now

Hi, I'm Dionne Nicole. This is my dad, David. He's been a music lover for as long as I can remember, and he even earned a college scholarship playing bassoon. He has over 2,000 pieces in his collection (CDs, vinyl, cassettes, DVDs) kept through every move and every shift in technology. He still burns CDs just to play his own mixes.

For years, he was looking for a way to catalog his music collection. Something simple. Built just for that. One thing, done well. But everything he found came with too much. Features he didn't need. Systems that got in the way. Nothing that just let him sit down and go through his collection, one by one.

So I built it for him. Now every single one has a home. Because it's web-based, he can pull it up on his phone, his tablet, or his computer. Anywhere, anytime. And now, so can you! Enjoy! 🤎

One price.
No surprises.

Each archive is custom-built and released in weekly batches due to demand.

Your collection finally has a real home —
no matter where you are.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU COMMIT?

We've got answers.

Every archive lives at your own custom URL — yourname.davidarchive.com — so it's always there, on any device. Just visit your URL, click the sign-in link, and a code is sent to your email. Enter it and you're back in. After that, a quick PIN gets you in instantly on the same device without needing to check your email again.
No barcode, no problem. The Add tab has a Manual option where you can type in the title, artist, genre, media type, year, label, and more. Everything goes into your collection exactly the way you want it — with or without a scan.
You're never stuck with what the database returns. Whatever gets auto-filled is just a starting point — you get full confirmation before anything saves, and every field is editable. Fix the title, correct the genre, swap the cover art. Your archive, your call.
None. Your archive is truly unlimited. Whether you have 50 items or 5,000, there's no cap, no tiered storage, and no slowdown. Nobody should be penalized for having a big collection — that's the whole point.
Yes. One price, one time, regardless of size. $250 gets you a fully private, custom-built archive that's yours forever. No monthly fees. No upgrades. No surprises.
Yes. The owner signs in via email code first, which establishes the session. After that, anyone in the household can use the shared PIN for quick access — no separate login required. It works just like a shared account, kept simple.
Your data is always yours. You can export your full collection as a CSV file at any time — every item, every field, saved to your own device. We're committed to keeping your database running for the foreseeable future, and if anything ever changes, you'll be notified well in advance so your data is backed up before anything happens. The collection you built doesn't disappear.
You'll receive a confirmation email right away letting you know everything is in motion. Because every archive is custom-built, we fulfill orders in weekly batches due to volume. Orders placed Monday through Friday are included in the next Monday release. Orders placed on Saturday or Sunday are included in the following week's release. Once your archive is ready, you'll receive your private URL. You sign in, and you start scanning.
Absolutely — and it makes an unforgettable one. When you order as a gift, fill out the form with the recipient's name, their email address, what they'd like their archive called, and an optional personal message. You can even choose a specific delivery date if you want it to arrive on a birthday or holiday.

The moment you purchase, the recipient gets their own onboarding email letting them know their archive is coming — with access to explore the site and demo while it's being built. Their archive is then included in the next scheduled Monday release. They'll receive their personalized archive at their own private URL (firstname.davidarchive.com), complete with their name on the app and their Certificate of Registration. Every archive is built individually. There is no generic version.
