Binder Page is a digital binder planner for Pokémon TCG. Plan pages, fill slots, and keep track of what you Want and what you Own — across every binder on your shelf. PLAN YOUR BINDERS Create binders with the page size you like, from a tight 1×1 up to 4×4. Search the catalog, add cards to a list, then tap a slot and place them. Drag cards on the page. Flip facing pages in landscape. Master set and Pokédex layouts help you build a set or a National Dex without losing the plot. WANT & OWN Every copy on a list is Want, Own, or both if you have extras. Mark finishes you own (Holo, Reverse, Jumbo, and more). Collection shows everything across binders — search, filter, and sort so you can see gaps and duplicates at a glance. MARKET PRICES (BETA) Home, Collection, Binder Info, and the card profile can show TCGPlayer-based ranges for cards on your lists. The total uses the high end of the range; the range is the highest and lowest prices we can find across variants. We don’t log the condition of each copy yet, and finish marks don’t change the total. Treat it as a planning aid, not a checkout quote. Catalog prices refresh about monthly. SHOP WHEN YOU’RE READY Open a card profile to buy on TCGPlayer or eBay. Premium can export Collection as CSV or open Buy Collection on TCGPlayer (Mass Entry in the browser). Always review the cart — listings and printings can be wrong, and TCGPlayer Direct is not always the cheapest. Binder Page is a TCGPlayer and eBay affiliate and may earn from qualifying purchases. YOUR DATA Continue as Guest and keep binders on this device, or Sign in with Apple to back up with iCloud. Local saving stays on. Fully quit the app (or use Settings → Data → Use Last Saved) when you switch iPhone and iPad. PREMIUM Unlock unlimited binders and pages, master set fill, page resize, Collection export, extra themes, custom spines, and an ad-free experience. Free includes binders to get started and one Pokédex binder. English and Japanese cards are in the catalog. Chinese sets are on the roadmap. Binder Page is an independent app and is not affiliated with Nintendo, Creatures Inc., GAME FREAK, The Pokémon Company, TCGPlayer, or eBay. Pokémon and related marks are owned by their respective owners. Questions? Settings → Feedback, or binderpage@makomisumarketing.com
