Our story

Built for people who
love what they own.

About the Founder

Hi, I'm Kyle. And I'm a self-proclaimed collector of all the things. Records, books, sailboat paintings, candles, concert posters, hats, merch from every place that has ever had merch. My husband and my friends and family will tell you the same thing. If there's a shelf for it, I probably have one.

My husband is actually the bigger book collector in the house. He also has a thing for candles shaped like food, which I fully support. Between the two of us, we have a lot of stuff. Beautiful, meaningful, totally-worth-it stuff. And absolutely no system for keeping track of any of it.

I'd buy a record I already owned. He'd get gifted a book he'd read twice. I'd lend something out and forget who had it. We'd go to buy a gift for someone and just guess. Trove started because I wanted something better. One place for everything we collect, easy to browse, and connected to the people we share our lives with.


What we're building

Trove is a social cataloging app for people who care about what they own. Organize your collections, track what you've lent, discover what your friends love, and never guess on a gift again. Your stuff tells a story. Trove helps you share it.

We launched on Android in 2026 and iOS is coming soon. We'd love for you to try it.

Our values

Privacy first. Your collection is personal. We never sell your data and your private notes stay private always.

Collectors first. We put collectors first. Everything we build starts with the person, not the transaction.

Built around real habits. Everything in Trove quests, shelves, lending, designed around how people actually collect, not how we wish they did.
