🕵🏻‍♂️ Hey Product Hunters! I’m Leo, founder of Brickit – and today, I’m happy to introduce Pile[o]meter, an app that creates a complete digital catalog of the bricks you own. 🏗️ Piles of bricks are a builder’s treasure trove – but let’s be honest, they can also be frustrating. I’ve spent countless minutes searching for the right part for a build, and sometimes that alone is enough to stop me from starting at all. That’s where Pile[o]meter comes in, combining cutting-edge AI recognition with an intuitive storage system to transform any pile into collection. Pile[o]meter is not just an app – it’s a full storage and cataloging framework that reinvents the way you organize, locate, and build with your bricks. These are its powers: 🗂️ Precise Digital Catalog. Easily create an exact inventory of your parts collection. Keep track of every shape and color. 🔍 Advanced Parts Scanner. Snap a photo, and let Pile[o]meter recognize over 1600 shapes with remarkable accuracy. 📍 Parts Location Guidance. Never lose track of a piece again – know exactly where it’s stored and how to find it. 📚 Building Ideas Library. Explore a catalog of designs tailored to your unique parts collection. Here's how it works: 1️⃣ Sort & Snap: Organize your parts into small groups and photograph them. 2️⃣ Analyze & Catalog: Pile[o]meter creates a detailed list for each group. 3️⃣ Pack & Perfect: Store your parts in numbered bags. From that moment on, Pile[o]meter becomes your ultimate building companion – helping you locate parts instantly or suggesting designs you can build with your collection. 🐈 Pile[o]meter is powered by the same AI innovation that made Brickit a global success and won the Golden Kitty Award. We’ve refined the technology to recognize even the tiniest details of over 1600 shapes, giving you precision and ease of use. Pile[o]meter is just starting its journey, and we’re excited to build it with you. If you have any feedback or questions, please let us know – we’d love to hear your thoughts!

@leonid_alexandrov @chen_artisk Thank you! Pile[o]meter was specifically created to catalog your large brick collection. However, it works by scanning your bricks in small batches of 150-200 pieces. Afterward, you sort these pieces into bags, and Pileometer remembers the contents of each bag. This process results in several dozen labeled bags with your bricks neatly cataloged. The scanner accurately detects both the shape and color of the pieces. In any case, after scanning, users have the option to edit the catalog in case of any errors in recognition during the scanning process. If you already have bricks at home, you can just give it a try. It’s super simple and even fun! 😊

Hey Buddy Congrats on the launch!! Just wanted to know whether the AI maintains its accuracy while scanning different components in a single image?

@karteeck123 Thank you for your support! To ensure maximum recognition accuracy, you should scan around 150-200 parts at a time. After that, you place them into zip bag number 1. Then scan and create bag number 2. Continue scanning all your bricks this way, building a large catalog of indexed parts.

The app looks great! Can be a perfect tool for someone obsessed with assembling LEGO parts and bricks. P.S Consider changing your icon and app name, it must reinforce the core value promise and emotions (joy, completion, fun). "Pileometer" to me has 0 connection with LEGO, bricks and DIY. Relevant name will help with ASO and discovery of your apps.

Having 2 sons and leaving in a world of Lego which is mixed in 15 kg boxes, looks like we can finally organize it somehow, will test the app definitely. Is it also suitable for Lego Duplo?

@kate_ramakaieva Great! I wish you success in organizing your bricks! By the way, you might like our other app called Brickit. As for Duplo, the app doesn't support it.

@mironshay what’s the difference between Pileometer and Brickit then?

@kate_ramakaieva Pileometer works with your entire brick collection. First, you scan all the parts, organizing them into several bags. Then, Pileometer helps you build large and complex creations. Brickit works with single scans. You scan parts once, get simpler building ideas, and immediately start creating.

@samalyx Thank you for your support! If you spread the bricks in a single layer on the table, ensuring the pieces don’t overlap too much, the recognition will be quite accurate. However, users always have the option to edit the scan results in case the app makes a mistake. You should scan all your bricks in small batches of 150-200 pieces and then store each scan in a small zip bag. This way, you’ll have several dozen zip bags and a complete digital archive of your bricks. After that, Pylometer will show you various ideas you can build.
