About

ManaCollector

Features
Read full description

ManaCollector is a goal tracker for Magic The Gathering collectors who want a clear view of the cards they still need. Rather than maintaining a binder inventory, ManaCollector focuses on the cards you are trying to collect. Create a goal from a decklist, a full set, or your own custom list. Each goal shows every card it contains and the number of copies needed to complete it. Progress updates offline as you collect. For each goal you can see collected cards, missing cards, and the completion percentage, which keeps larger projects manageable. Cards are shown with their correct artwork. Filters narrow the view by collected, missing, or all cards, by mana cost, or by card type. When you are online, Cardmarket trend prices show the estimated value of your collection and the cost of the cards still missing. Plus and Premium include cloud sync and the ManaCollector website. Sign in with your Global Account to keep your goals on all your devices, then manage them in a browser: edit cards in bulk, import a decklist from text, or export a checklist as a text file. Sync is optional, and the app works the same without it. Free users can create up to three goals. Plus allows ten goals, and Premium removes the limit. Both paid plans remove ads. ManaCollector is not a binder or full collection inventory app. It replaces spreadsheet tracking with a simple, offline-first way to keep personal collecting goals organized and moving forward.
