The Problem
If you are a BJD (Ball-Jointed Doll) collector, you know the struggle of tracking your dolls in spreadsheets and notes.
So I built BJD Doll Archive — a free iOS app designed specifically for BJD collectors.
What It Does
- Doll profiles — add photos, names, and custom details for each doll
- Track customizations — face-ups, body blushing, modifications
- Set reminders — resin delivery dates, face-up appointments, payment schedules
- 4 languages — English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean
- Privacy first — no account needed, data stays on your device
Tech Stack
Built with SwiftUI and Core Data. No backend, no accounts, no data collection. Your collection is private.
Key Learnings
- Niche communities deserve niche tools — BJD collectors have very specific needs
- Privacy-first design wins — collectors prefer apps that dont upload their data
- Multilingual support is essential — the BJD community is truly global
What is Next
Based on feedback, the top requested feature is a photo gallery for each doll — multiple photos to track changes over time.
