Read full description

Set Card Detector answers the question, "is there even a Set out here?" without giving the game away. Point your camera at the cards. A quiet indicator says "Set" or "No Set" (optionally how many). Stuck players can reveal exactly one Set at a time; nothing is spoiled until you ask. HOW IT WORKS • Live detection of all 81 cards, right in the camera view • Set / No Set indicator, with optional Set count • Spoiler ladder: reveal one Set at a time, tap again for the next • Card outlines and identity labels as mini icons or text codes, toggleable • Detection smoothing for a steady, flicker-free read PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your iPhone. No account, no network, no data collected. Works offline at the kitchen table, the cabin, or on a plane. GREAT FOR • Settling "there's nothing there, deal three more" arguments • Learning the game: see every card's identity while you scan • Practicing: find it yourself, then check before you call it Set Card Detector is an independent fan-made tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by PlayMonster or Set Enterprises. "SET" is a trademark of its respective owner.
