Pricing & Offline

Does Brick Finder work without internet?

The short answer

Yes. The core app works offline. Scans run on your phone or tablet and your photos never leave it. Your collection, the built-in catalogue of 21,800+ official LEGO® sets and 17,000+ minifigures, Brick Studio™ with 1,800+ 3D builds, the Minifigure Creator, Mosaic Maker and the Display Room all work without a connection. Ordering pieces, downloading official instructions and buying a membership need internet.

Why offline matters

Brick Finder does its work on your device. Your tray photos are not uploaded to a server, scans keep working in a basement, a cabin or on a plane, and the built-in catalogue means you can look up sets and parts anywhere.
