Everyday collection management needs no account or cloud synchronization. Optionally connect an eligible ChatGPT account to analyze a photo, search for suggestions from a description or draft a suitable template. Add custom AI instructions per collection. You explicitly start each request, review the suggestions and save them yourself. Availability depends on your provider access. External processing is disabled by default. Catalog search helps with supported collecting categories. For catalog-linked Pokémon cards, you can retrieve market prices and keep their history locally.
