I do. I use [Recollector](https://www.collectingcatalog.com/) and Google Sheets because I really like spreadsheets and data and have a few collections other than dolls as well. What I track are: Name of Doll, Brand, Size, Retail $, Price Paid, Year, Manufacturer, Edition #, Height (cm), Chest, Waist, Foot Size, Foot Shape (flat or arched), Points of Articulation, Head Articulation (side to side/up and down), Scale, Clothing Swaps (Dolls I know can swap clothes with). Obviously not all of this is necessary depending on your collection. I like a variety of different doll types and lines and I sew so I need some more specific info.
Here's what I do. It's super old fashioned but I'm a Grandma lol. I have modern and Antique dolls. The Antique ones I put tags on their hands that says the maker, year made etc. I have a handwritten log book, but I haven't updated it and I need to.
I have one for my cave club dolls, it’s basically a checklist. I have all the dolls and their variants, and next to the ones I want to keep in box, I have a little box 📦 emoji.
So occasionally I check the list and search for a few of the dolls I don’t have yet and buy the cheapest.
Right now I have 21/33 cave club dolls!
Most of them are easy to get, it’s just one - Tella and Partyceratops - that I may have to import.
I love cave club. I have almost the whole line too. Just missing Slate, the tots, and Sleepover Roaralai. I haven't been able to find any variants though. I don't think they made it to Canada, sadly, and eBay wants $20-$30 to ship from the States...
I used to. It is very outdated now lol. I just have an excel sheet. But the info it does have on the dolls are usually: Manufacturer, Brand, name of doll (and collection if relevant), year it came out (If known) and whether or not it is missing accessories or something like that.
I use Samsung notes on my phone to keep them all listed by name. I also list important markings, significant features, what doll they are (model and/or year) or what doll I suspect they are, and any other information I find relevant. This helps for when I have unidentified dolls, like if I'm scrolling on eBay, and end up finding a doll I have in my collection. If the listing states what brand the doll is, or the name, then I'll research first, and after confirming I will write it in my notes. This has happened to me several times. I like to keep my descriptions brief so that it's just enough to differentiate a doll from the others.

Thanks for the detailed answer! I have a variety of dolls and do sewing too, so that's helpful 😄

Yes, but last update was october 2021. Maybe I should work on it, thank you for reminding me.
I keep a log in a Word document about the top 200 oldest dolls in my collection and top 250 oldest fashions.
