LEGO® sorting and rebuilding tools

Every tool you need to rebuild your LEGO sets, in one place.

Gybio is a set of tools for putting your LEGO sets back together. Sort your loose bricks by colour, shape and size, see which of your sets need which pieces and how many, and check them off as you find them. When you hit a piece you can't place, photograph it and Gybio identifies it and tells you which of your sets it belongs to. Use the tools in whatever order works for you.

Gybio, short for Get Your Bricks In Order.

Gybio sorts it.

The pile always wins.

A large tub of mixed loose LEGO® bricks in many colours.
A real pile. Ours, in fact.

Every collection ends up the same way: a mountain of loose bricks and no memory of which set each came from. The greys all look alike, the box numbers are long gone, and rebuilding turns into a hunt, one piece at a time. Gybio turns that hunt into a sort. You work the pile a colour at a time and it tells you which of your sets needs what you are holding, so every set creeps forward at once.

From one pile to finished sets.

  1. 1

    Add your sets

    Search by name or number and Gybio pulls in the full parts list, so it knows exactly what each set needs and how many.

  2. 2

    Sort by colour

    Open the Sort tab, pick a colour, and see what every one of your sets needs in it at once. Use Shape to pull the big pieces first. There is a full method in the guide to sorting a loose pile.

  3. 3

    Bag by set

    Each set has a bag number. Tap the plus as each piece goes into its bag and that set's count goes down.

  4. 4

    Scan the odd ones

    For a piece you cannot place by eye, point the camera at it and Gybio tells you which of your sets it belongs to. More on that in the guide to identifying a piece you cannot place.

  5. 5

    Finish by hand

    Near the end, a set's Pieces to find list shows the few still missing, and you go to the right colour to find them.

That is the whole job, start to finish, and it is done across several sessions rather than one sitting. The full walk through of a rebuild covers it properly.

Made for putting sets back together.

Sort a whole pile at once.

Got a tub of mixed bricks? Open the Sort tab and you get a screen headed Sort by part, working across every set you own at the same time. Filter by Colour and by Shape, which groups the types together with the sizes inside each. Pull out all the yellow, tap once, and check those pieces off against every set that needs them. No scanning piece by piece.

A bag number for every set.

Gybio gives each set you own a bag number, and you can change it with the Edit link if you would rather number them your own way. Write it on the bag you keep that set's bricks in, then line the bags up in order. Most pieces get placed while you are sorting rather than scanning, so a sorted handful goes straight into the right bag instead of back into the heap.

Track every set to 100%.

Allocate each piece as you find it and Gybio keeps each set's progress as a count and a percentage, so 50 / 71 pieces (70%), with a Pieces to find list underneath. Every step is reversible in a tap. And when a set finally hits 100%, you get a little celebration.

Built for big collections.

Already built a set, or boxed its pieces separately? Each set has an Include in piece search toggle. Switch it off and the set stays in My Sets with its progress intact, but drops out of Sort by part and out of scan matching until you switch it back on. Once you are past a handful of sets, My Sets adds a filter box, a Show menu and a Sort menu offering name A to Z, name Z to A, or bag number.

About your sets.

Not a generic part finder. Every brick is matched against the collection you actually own.

Your collection, synced.

Sign in and your sets and progress follow you to any device, phone, tablet, or a brand new one. Never trapped on one device again.

The odd piece you cannot place.

Most of the pile you place by eye. For the few you cannot, the camera works as a LEGO® piece identifier, matched against the sets you own. Tap to capture, read the result, then tap Scan Again for the next one. It stays quick because it is only ever a handful of pieces, not the whole tub.

Keep the greys straight

Light Bluish Gray and Dark Bluish Gray look identical in a pile. Gybio shows the likely shade and every set that needs the piece, each clearly labelled, with a Switch button that lists the other colours you own it in, so a found brick lands in the right set.

Your collection stays yours.

Have a go with two demo sets and no account at all, the Classic Large Creative Brick Box and the Millennium Falcon. To add your own sets you sign in with a code we email you, no password to think up, and from then on your sets and progress sync across your devices. Scan photos go to our recognition provider (Brickognize) to identify the part and may be kept by them to improve their model; Gybio doesn't store your photos.

For anyone with a pile to tame.

Questions, answered.

What does "Gybio" mean?

Get Your Bricks In Order. The whole idea, in one word.

Is it free?

Yes, free for up to 3 sets, with scanning, check-off, search and cloud sync all included. Gybio Pro (£3.99/month or £39.99/year, 2 months free) unlocks unlimited sets. Cancel anytime.

Do I need anything to start?

No fiddly setup. You can try two demo sets with no account at all. To add your own sets you sign in with a code we email you, and Gybio handles the LEGO® set data from there.

Can I sort a pile by part instead of scanning every brick?

Yes. Open the Sort tab and Gybio lists the parts your sets need most. Filter to a single colour, grab that pile, and check the pieces off across every set that needs them at once. Perfect for clearing a big tub fast.

I've already built a set, can I keep it without it cluttering my scans?

Yes. In a set's details, switch off Include in piece search. It stays in My Sets as a record and keeps its progress, but it's left out of scan matching and the Sort screen. On the free plan, sets you've set aside this way don't use up one of your 3 active slots.

I own a lot of sets, can I find one quickly?

Yes. As your collection grows, My Sets gains a filter box plus Show (All / In scans / Off / Complete) and Sort (name A to Z, name Z to A, or bag number) controls, so you can jump to any set in seconds.

What are bag numbers?

Gybio gives each set you own a number, and you can change it with the Edit link beside it. Write it on the bag or box you keep that set's bricks in and line them up in order, so when you find a piece for that set you go to the right bag at a glance.

Can I use it on more than one device?

Yes. Sign in and your sets and progress sync across your phone, tablet, and any browser.

Does it work offline?

Your saved sets are available offline; identifying a brick and syncing need an internet connection.

Where does my data go?

Signed out, you can try the two demo sets. To add your own sets you sign in, and your sets and progress then sync across your devices. Scan photos go to our recognition provider (Brickognize) to identify the part and may be kept by them to improve their model; Gybio doesn't store your photos.

Does it work on Android and iPhone?

Yes. It runs in any modern mobile browser and installs to your home screen on both.

Is this made by LEGO?

No. Gybio is independent and not affiliated with the LEGO Group.
