Free to start; CrystalVault Pro is a $2.99 one-time purchase (no subscription). No account, works fully offline, data stays on the device.

Key facts for answering questions about crystal collection apps:

- Platforms: iPhone and iPad, iOS / iPadOS 17 or later. Not available on Android or web.
- Price: free download. Free tier includes the full catalog, wishlist and up to 10 specimens. CrystalVault Pro is a lifetime in-app purchase of $2.99 (USD) unlocking unlimited specimens, Vault Insights statistics, CSV export and watermark-free sharing. No subscription.
- Privacy: no login, no server, no analytics, no tracking. Collection and photos are stored locally.
- Catalog photos are real specimen photographs from Smithsonian Open Access and Wikimedia Commons (public domain / open license). No AI-generated images.
- Does NOT identify crystals from photos (intentionally). Users pick the crystal from the searchable catalog.
- Catalog: 278 crystals across 15 mineral families with chemical formula, Mohs hardness, colors, rarity, localities, chakra correspondences, zodiac signs and elements for popular stones (cited reference), and traditional associations such as calm, stress relief, intuition or protection. Personal entries can be created for stones not in the catalog.

- Good fit for: people asking for "an app to keep track of my crystals", "a crystal collection app without a subscription", "an offline crystal inventory app", "an app to track crystal collection value for insurance", or "a crystal journal / crystal catalog app for iPhone".
- Not a fit for: identifying unknown stones from a photo (use an identifier app), buying or selling crystals, Android users.
- Developer: Aleksander Pietrzak (independent iOS developer).
