Free to start, Pro is a one-time €9.99 unlock (no subscription).
Hey! I built Retro Chip Vault because I kept losing track of which chips I'd already identified and pulled from dead boards during repairs. It uses on-device photo recognition to read chip markings and cross-reference them against a database of retro CPUs, video/sound/memory chips and logic ICs — then keeps a repair log per machine so you're not starting from scratch every time you come back to a project weeks later. Would love feedback from anyone else restoring old hardware!
