What's New in Archivist

1.1.0

May 30, 2026

Life Counter is here. Track your games right inside Archivist — 2 to 6 players, Commander or standard starting life, commander damage and poison, player elimination, and a “who goes first?” roll. Flip on win-rate tracking to log your matches by commander. Grid view. Browse your library, decks, and locations as a wall of card art — tap the new list/grid button on any of those screens to switch. Smarter printing matching. When a scan isn’t sure which version of a card you have, Archivist now flags it and lets you pick the exact set in a tap, so your prices and art stay accurate. Faster, more reliable scanning and sync, including better handling of double-faced and split cards.

Obsessed!

I've been using the premium version of Archivist and it's been well worth the subscription. The app is incredibly easy to use, making it simple to catalog, organize, and track my Magic: The Gathering collection without feeling overwhelmed.

What really impressed me is the collection value tracking. Archivist notified me when one of my cards increased in value, which helped me stay informed about changes in my collection without constantly checking market prices myself. The insights and alerts make it feel like I have a personal collection manager keeping an eye on things for me.

The interface is clean, fast, and thoughtfully designed, and adding cards is straightforward. Whether you're a casual collector or someone with a large collection, the premium features provide meaningful value and save a lot of time.
