What it is
One notebook, many phones
Somebody tips the bin out on the floor and the family starts sorting. Bricks2Sets holds the one count everybody adds to.
What has been found, what each set still needs, and who is working on which drawer — one notebook, open on everyone’s phone at once.
The core loop
Find it, tap it, done
The whole product is one small loop. You find a part, you tap it up, and the number moves on the other screens too. Nobody has to announce what they are holding, and nobody re-counts a drawer somebody already emptied. Counts are tallied on the server and versioned, so two people reaching for the same part at the same moment both get counted.
What’s in it
01 — 04
Sets
Search a set by name or number and add it; its part list comes along. Each set keeps a ledger of what is found and what is still missing.
Bricks
Every part your sets ask for, gathered into one list. Tap a brick to see which sets still need it — one handful often pays into three builds at once.
Activity
A running record of who counted what, and when. It settles the two questions every sorting session produces: did that get counted, and by whom.
Group
Invite the household with a link. One group holds up to ten people; the sets and the counts belong to the group, not to one account.
One set, open. Every part it asks for, with a picture of the part, its colour and its number, and how many of it the group has found so far. The minus and the plus move that count for everybody at once, and when somebody else opens the same set, the header says who.
One level up: the shelf the whole group shares. Every set anybody has added, what has been found of it, and a ring for the rest. The part that finishes a set turns it Complete.
How it’s run
In writing
- Status
- Experimental — early builds with sharp edges. Things change; some things vanish.
- Hosted
- Finland (EU). Accounts, groups, sets and counts live on servers in Helsinki and stay there. The payment and email providers process data in the United States — the privacy policy says exactly what goes where.
- Catalog data
- Set and part data from Rebrickable, fetched server-side; the API key never reaches a browser. LEGO® is a trademark of the LEGO Group, which does not sponsor, authorize or endorse this site.
- Payments
- Polar (Polar Software Inc.) is the merchant of record: it sells the subscription, handles VAT and issues the receipt. Card details never touch Bricks2Sets. A failed renewal gets a short grace period before the group locks.
- Your data
- No analytics of any kind, no ad trackers, nothing sold or shared. Stopping payment locks a group; it never deletes it.
- Support
- bricks2sets@nordicmythos.com
Why it’s built this way
Three of the four
One job, done well
Bricks2Sets counts parts. There is no feed, no shop, no chat. The features that would have dulled that edge are the ones we left out.
Quiet software
It asks for a name, an email address, a password and a group name, and that is the list. Nothing sits in the corner watching a family sort bricks on a Sunday.
Built to last the winter
