A game-changer for anyone who loves building or misses the feeling of joy their bricks used to give them. Using cutting-edge recognition technology, Pileometer helps you organize your parts, discover fascinating building designs, and build complex creations.
🕵🏻♂️ Hey Product Hunters!
I’m Leo, founder of Brickit – and today, I’m happy to introduce Pile[o]meter, an app that creates a complete digital catalog of the bricks you own.
🏗️ Piles of bricks are a builder’s treasure trove – but let’s be honest, they can also be frustrating. I’ve spent countless minutes searching for the right part for a build, and sometimes that alone is enough to stop me from starting at all.
That’s where Pile[o]meter comes in, combining cutting-edge AI recognition with an intuitive storage system to transform any pile into collection.
Pile[o]meter is not just an app – it’s a full storage and cataloging framework that reinvents the way you organize, locate, and build with your bricks. These are its powers:
🗂️ Precise Digital Catalog. Easily create an exact inventory of your parts collection. Keep track of every shape and color.
🔍 Advanced Parts Scanner. Snap a photo, and let Pile[o]meter recognize over 1600 shapes with remarkable accuracy.
📍 Parts Location Guidance. Never lose track of a piece again – know exactly where it’s stored and how to find it.
📚 Building Ideas Library. Explore a catalog of designs tailored to your unique parts collection.
Here's how it works:
1️⃣ Sort & Snap: Organize your parts into small groups and photograph them.
2️⃣ Analyze & Catalog: Pile[o]meter creates a detailed list for each group.
3️⃣ Pack & Perfect: Store your parts in numbered bags.
From that moment on, Pile[o]meter becomes your ultimate building companion – helping you locate parts instantly or suggesting designs you can build with your collection.
🐈 Pile[o]meter is powered by the same AI innovation that made Brickit a global success and won the Golden Kitty Award. We’ve refined the technology to recognize even the tiniest details of over 1600 shapes, giving you precision and ease of use.
Pile[o]meter is just starting its journey, and we’re excited to build it with you. If you have any feedback or questions, please let us know – we’d love to hear your thoughts!
I recommend Pileometer to anyone who is fond of construction or likes to work with construction sets. With advanced recognition technology, this app helps you organize parts efficiently, find engaging construction projects, and create complex designs.
I love these niche use cases of computer vision and straightforward tooling. Keep up the great work, I'm excited to see what you guys do further!
Congrats on the launch! Pileometer sounds like a fun app for brick enthusiasts. What's your favorite feature so far?
Congrats on the launch, @je_suis_yaroslav @leonid_alexandrov @elephantum @medvedism @mironshay!
Recognizing 1600+ shapes - super impressive.
Just curious - does it handle mixed piles with overlapping pieces? Also, does it offer suggestions if a part is missing for a specific design?
Having 2 sons and leaving in a world of Lego which is mixed in 15 kg boxes, looks like we can finally organize it somehow, will test the app definitely. Is it also suitable for Lego Duplo?
Congrats on Pileometer! It’s such a clever way to organize bricks! One idea I think would be amazing is to integrate AI to suggest builds based on what you want to create. For example, you could take a photo of something you want to build—like a car, a building, or even an animal—and the AI could analyze the image, then break it down into a list of the Lego pieces needed, along with a 3D guide to help you replicate it. It would work like pixel art generators, where the AI simplifies an image into basic components, but instead of pixels, it would be Lego blocks, making it super easy to build complex objects with your existing parts. That would definitely take creativity to the next level! Keep up the great work!
Hey Buddy
Congrats on the launch!!
Just wanted to know whether the AI maintains its accuracy while scanning different components in a single image?
The app looks great! Can be a perfect tool for someone obsessed with assembling LEGO parts and bricks.
P.S Consider changing your icon and app name, it must reinforce the core value promise and emotions (joy, completion, fun). "Pileometer" to me has 0 connection with LEGO, bricks and DIY. Relevant name will help with ASO and discovery of your apps.
