Tellico is an easy to use KDE application for organizing your collections. It provides default templates for books, bibliographies, videos, music, video games, coins, stamps, trading cards, comic books, and wines.
Tellico allows users to enter their collection in a catalogue database, saving many different properties for future reference, e.g. title, author, etc. Two different views of a collection are shown in the screenshot. On the left, entries are grouped together by any field, allowing the user to see how many are in each group. On the right, selected fields are shown in column format, for sorting by any field. On the bottom is a customizable HTML view of the current entry. The entry editor is a dialog box where data can be entered.
Loans may be tracked, with optional integration with KOrganizer. Collections may be imported or exported using a variety of formats, to allow for easy exchange or publication of data.
