About TypeCase Ledger

Stop searching every drawer for the type you know you own. TypeCase Ledger is a private catalog for physical letterpress type, built for printers, studios, collectors, and teaching shops on iPhone and iPad.

Put your real workspace on the map • Organize studios, cabinets, and cases by code and location. • Add more than one catalog entry to a case: typefaces, borders, ornaments, mixed type, or unidentified pieces. • Record foundry, point size, material, completeness, notes, and specimen photographs. • Take a photo in the app or choose one with Apple’s Photos picker.

Find type and plan a setting • Search names, foundries, sizes, materials, and locations across the catalog. • Keep unidentified entries together until you can identify them. • Record how many of each letter, numeral, and punctuation sort you have. A blank count means not yet checked; zero means none are present. • Enter a word or short line to see whether it can be set, which sorts are missing, or which counts are still unknown. Repeated characters are counted.

Take your catalog with you • Create a PDF catalog grouped by cabinet and case, including entries without photos. • Export the complete structured catalog as a ZIP of five UTF-8 CSV files, then share the file using the system share sheet. • Catalog data and photos stay on your device until you choose to share an export. No app account, cloud sync, ads, or analytics SDK.

Start free with up to three cases. A single optional Lifetime Unlock removes the case limit and enables glyph counts, line checks, and exports. Existing catalog data remains available.
