# Apps for hobbies, collections and trips

Whatever you collect, play or practice, Mousepad can build a small app to keep track of it: the books on your shelf, the rows of a craft project, the wildlife you've seen, the gear in your pack. The templates below cover reading, music, drawing, tabletop games, fishing, aquariums and trips, and you can clone any of them and change it by chatting.

## Questions

**Can I add photos to my collection?**

Ask Mousepad to add a photo to each entry, like the cover of each book on your shelf or a picture of each sighting. Cloud's file storage keeps the pictures.

**Can I find a board game that fits tonight's group?**

Yes. Which game tonight? filters the games you've added by tonight's player count and the time you have. Clone it, add your shelf, and ask Mousepad for other filters, like by kind of game.

**Can the trip planner track what we spend?**

Trip by day adds up the estimated cost of each day's stops. For costs shared between people, Fair share under Money works out who owes whom.

**Can I change the tuner for another instrument?**

Tune a string has a guitar's strings, a reference tone for each and, if you allow the microphone, how many cents sharp or flat you are. Ask Mousepad to change the notes for a ukulele, a bass or another tuning.
