KNOW WHAT YOUR CARDS ARE REALLY WORTH. Snap any trading card and Pulldex tells you exactly what it is and what it's actually worth — then tracks your whole collection's value over time. Pokémon, sports, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Disney Lorcana — even old, foreign, or non-English cards other scanners give up on. SCAN ANY CARD, FIRST TRY Point your camera at a card and get the exact identity in seconds — game, set, card number, variant, and rarity. No "card not found," no database gaps. Pulldex reads the card itself, so it works on the cards other apps miss. TRUE VALUE, NO GUESSWORK Get an honest current market-value estimate with a clear confidence level — not an inflated number to make you feel good. When Pulldex isn't sure, it tells you, so you never overpay or undersell. (Estimates, not a live quote — always confirm on a sold-comps marketplace before you buy or sell.) AI GRADE ESTIMATE A rough read of centering and surface from your photo, with honest confidence — a guide before you send a card off to grade, not a fake PSA guarantee. YOUR COLLECTION, TRACKED Every card you scan is saved to a private, on-device collection with a live total value. Watch your portfolio grow, spot your best pulls, and always know what your binder is worth. BUILT FOR COLLECTORS - Any game: Pokémon, sports, MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lorcana - Old, foreign, and non-English cards - Honest value + confidence, never inflated - AI condition/grade estimate - Live collection value tracking - Private & on-device — your photos and collection stay on your phone HONEST PRICING Start with a 3-day free trial, then a simple weekly or annual plan — you see the price before you pay, and you can cancel anytime. No tricks. Pulldex is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Wizards of the Coast, Konami, Ravensburger, or any card manufacturer.

Scan any Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering or One Piece card and know in seconds what it is, what shape it is in, and what it is worth. Nocturne is a card scanner, a digital condition grader and a collection portfolio in one, and it all runs right on your iPhone. SCAN CARDS INSTANTLY • Point the camera at a card and Nocturne identifies it on the spot • Recognition runs entirely on-device and works offline. Your card photos never leave the phone • No card in hand? Import a photo from your library instead • Three games in one app: the Pokémon TCG, Magic: The Gathering and the One Piece Card Game THE WHOLE ONE PIECE CARD GAME • Every English set: the boosters from OP01 onward, the extra boosters, the starter decks and the promos • Leaders, characters, events and stages, with cost, power, counter, life, attribute, trigger and block • Alternate art and reprints are priced as their own printings, so a rare alternate art is never valued as the common base card • The scanner reads the printed card number, which is what tells a base card apart from its alternate art TEACH IT ANY CARD • Rare promo, misprint, or a card no database knows? Teach Mode learns it from a single photo • Taught cards are recognized instantly from then on, and you can add fully custom cards to your catalog GRADE CONDITION BEFORE YOU BUY OR SELL • Digital condition grading from your photos: centering, corners, edges and surface, each with its own sub-score • A defect map highlights exactly where the wear is • Know what you are holding before you pay for professional grading • Grades are estimates for guidance, not a substitute for official grading services BUILD YOUR COLLECTION • Organize cards into collections with quantities • Set completion shows exactly which cards you still need • Browse all three catalogs without scanning anything: over 165,000 cards across more than 1,600 sets, fully offline • A new Card of the Day every day, plus favorites and your full scan history A PORTFOLIO, NOT JUST A LIST • Cost basis and profit & loss for every card, and a running total for the whole collection • Record your sales and keep the realized profit history • Share a poster of your collection and its value in one tap • Market prices based on TCGplayer and Cardmarket data. The catalog ships as a snapshot that refreshes with app updates, and every card links to eBay sold listings for today's live numbers • Values in 36 currencies • Export your whole collection to CSV at any time PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account to create, no ads, no third-party analytics. Your collection lives on your device, with optional backup to your own private iCloud that only you can read. FREE AND PREMIUM Scanning, grading, collections and the portfolio are all free to try. Nocturne Premium removes the scan and grading limits, as a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription or a one time lifetime purchase. Every price is shown in your own currency on the purchase screen before you buy, along with any introductory offer, and you can cancel a subscription anytime in Settings.
