A home for your collection.
Catch a piece — a photo, a place, a memory — and I'll hold it just as you have it. Yours, on your device, for as long as you keep it.
Get Hew For iPhone & iPad. Coming soon to the App Store.Catch it
A piece arrives.
Snap a photo, or share one in from anywhere — your camera roll, a dealer's page, a message. I'll start the record and hold your spot, even before you've filled a thing in.

Find it
Anything, in a breath.
Search a mineral, a place, a year — or watch your whole collection light up on a map, clustered by where each piece came from. The right one is never more than a thought away.

Know it
The whole story of a piece.
Every record carries its provenance — localities and mineral names drawn from Mindat's reference, kept exactly as you wrote them. Your collection, deepened, not flattened.

Yours. Only yours.
No account. No sign-in. Hew lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud — so your collection never passes through anyone's server, mine included. Here's the whole list of what I know about you: nothing. And whenever you like, you can take everything with you in a breath.

I'm nearly ready.
Hew is in the last of its early testing on iPhone and iPad. Leave a line and I'll let you know the moment it's on the App Store — no list, no fuss.
