HACO CARD is the card binder that lives inside your smartphone. Whether you collect Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, or any other trading cards, HACO CARD gives you a clean, simple way to manage everything in one place — right from your pocket. Your Collection, Organized Log every card with the details that matter: card name, series, rarity (free text, so it works with any game), condition or PSA grade, quantity, and a personal memo. Add a photo by taking a picture of your actual card with your camera. No official images needed — your own shots make it personal. The Opening Experience Every time you add a new card to your collection, HACO CARD celebrates with a card flip animation. Watch your card reveal itself, just like cracking open a fresh pack. It's a small moment, but for collectors, it never gets old. Achievement Badges Reach milestones and get recognized. Collect 10 cards in the same series, hit 50 total cards, or reach 100 — HACO CARD notices and gives you a badge. Because every collector deserves a little recognition for their dedication. Collection Stats at a Glance The top of your screen shows your total card count, number of series, and WISH list size — always visible, always up to date. See your collection grow over time. WISH List Found a card you want but don't own yet? Add it to your WISH list and keep track of what you're hunting for. Switch between your Owned tab and WISH tab in one tap. Recently Added Your newest cards appear at the top. Never lose track of what you just added to your collection. Bilingual Support HACO CARD supports both Japanese and English. Switch languages instantly from the header. Perfect for collectors around the world.
