## What is Decksmith?

Your entire Magic collection, in your pocket. Decksmith turns your iPhone into a card scanner, a price tracker, a format-aware deck builder and a social hub for players — wrapped in a fast, beautiful, native interface.

Point your camera at a card and it is recognised in real time. Name, set, rarity, artwork and current market price are filled in automatically. No typing. No spreadsheets.

— SCAN. TAP. COLLECTED. —
• Real-time card recognition straight from the camera — no manual entry
• One-tap confirm adds the card, its artwork and its full data to your collection
• Pick the exact printing you own, set foil or non-foil, and track multiple copies
• Every card image is stored on device, so your collection stays gorgeous offline

— KNOW WHAT IT'S WORTH —
Live market prices in USD or EUR. Decksmith keeps the price you paid alongside today's value, for every single card, so you can see at a glance what your collection has done — card by card and as a whole. Refresh whenever you want an update.

— A DECK BUILDER THAT KNOWS THE RULES —
Build for Standard, Modern, Pioneer, Legacy, Vintage, Commander, Pauper or Casual. Decksmith enforces deck size and copy limits for the format you chose, gives Commander its own dedicated slot, and tells you the moment a deck is legal.

— SEE THE SHAPE OF YOUR DECK —
An automatic mana curve, card-type distribution and average mana value for every deck you build. Spot the missing two-drop before your opponent does.

— FIND ANY CARD, INSTANTLY —
Search the full Magic card database or your own collection. Filter by colour, rarity, card type, set, mana cost, foil finish and double-faced cards. Sort by name, price or date added. Switch between grid and list whenever it suits you.

— SMART LISTS —
Build lists that fill themselves. Save any combination of filters as a smart list — trade binder, EDH staples, everything foil under €5 — and it updates itself as your collection grows. Or curate a list by hand. Give each one its own icon and colour.

— YOUR CARDS, FULL SCREEN —
A gallery mode built for staring at cardboard. High-resolution art, glowing foil borders on your foils, pinch to zoom into the tiniest detail, swipe from card to card. Double-faced cards flip with a tap.

— EVEN BETTER TOGETHER —
Join the Decksmith Community and the app opens up: publish decks with one tap, collect likes and comments, follow the players whose brews you love, browse their collections and decks for inspiration, send friend requests, and keep up with everything in a live activity feed.

— PRIVACY YOU ACTUALLY CONTROL —
The whole app works offline, with no account and no sign-up — your collection lives on your device. Create an account only if you want cloud sync across your iPhone and iPad, or the community features. Then decide exactly what is visible: profile visibility, whether you are discoverable, and whether new decks default to public or private. Block anyone. Export or delete your data at any time.

— IMPORT AND EXPORT, NO LOCK-IN —
Bring your collection with you via CSV from the popular collection and deck-building sites, or restore a full Decksmith backup — collection, decks and lists included. Export your data to a single file whenever you like and share it via AirDrop, mail or cloud storage.

— BUILT LIKE AN APPLE APP —
Written from scratch in SwiftUI. Dark from the first pixel, tuned for 120 Hz, alive with haptics, and quick everywhere it counts.

No subscription. No ads. No account required.
