Dex turns scattered catch notes into one living record. Track every creature you have caught across every game you own, log shiny variants the moment you find them, and organize your collection into boxes that mirror your in-game storage. No spreadsheets. No guesswork about what is still missing. Built for collectors who want an accurate, at-a-glance view of their progress: - Living dex tracking: mark every catch per game, then see your full collection across your whole library in one place. - Shiny logging: record shiny variants separately from standard catches, so rare finds are never lost in the count. - Box organizer: sort your collection into boxes the same way your games do, with a full overview of every box. - Trainer tracking: log badges earned per game and keep a trainer record alongside your collection. Home screen widgets show your completion percentage and surface a random uncaught pick to hunt next, without opening the app. Dex is built for completionists, shiny hunters, and collectors managing multiple games who want one clean tracker instead of a spreadsheet. Export your full collection to a file any time and restore it on a new device in a tap. --------- This app is an independent fan project created for personal reference and collection tracking.
