What it does

Scan it, price it, finish the set.

Every feature here answers a complaint we found in one- and two-star reviews of other card apps.

Hound, your AI card companion.

Ask what your binder is worth, or how close you are to finishing a set. Attach a photo to ask about a card. When Hound quotes a price, it names the source.

Scanning is free. Unlimited. Forever.

No daily cap, no lifetime cap, no account. Cards are recognized on your iPhone, so nothing the camera sees while you scan leaves it.

Prices come with receipts.

Every price names the feed that supplied it, right on the card. For Pokémon you also see the cheapest listing, the mid price and Cardmarket's prices in euro.

Your sets, card by card.

Every set you've started, across all five games, shows what you hold and what's still missing.

No streaks. No guilt. No noise.

Holohound sends no notifications and never hurries you. Open it when you feel like it.

Common questions

FAQ

Is scanning really free, forever?

Yes. No daily cap, no lifetime cap, no account. We've committed to keeping scanning free and unlimited.

Which games does Holohound cover?

Five: Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lorcana and Gundam, all in one binder. The scanner reads English Pokémon and Magic cards, plus Japanese Pokémon from the Sun & Moon era (2017) onward. You add cards from the other three games by search. Pokémon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Lorcana cards carry prices; Gundam has no price feed yet.

Does set tracking count reverse holos separately?

Not yet. Each card in a set counts once, whatever its finish.

Do I need an account?

No. There's no sign-in anywhere in the app. Your collection lives on your device, and CSV export is free if you want a copy of your own.

What is Hound?

Hound is the AI companion inside Holohound. Ask it about your cards and sets, and it answers from your own collection and names its sources. Its replies are written by Anthropic's AI model. Everyone gets 3 messages a day; Holohound Pro raises that to 400.

What does Hound see when I ask it something?

Your message, any photo you attach, the last few messages of that conversation, and the details of the cards relevant to your question, not your whole binder. They go to our server and on to Anthropic, whose model writes the reply. No account is created; the app sends a random per-install id so the daily message allowance can be counted, and a Pro subscriber's app also sends Apple's signed record of the subscription. The privacy policy lists it in full.

Is this an official Pokémon (or Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lorcana, Gundam) app?

No. Holohound is independent and unofficial, and is not produced, endorsed or licensed by The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, Creatures Inc., GAME FREAK, Wizards of the Coast, Konami, Disney, Ravensburger, Bandai or Sotsu/Sunrise — see the disclosure above.

How do I cancel or restore Holohound Pro?

If you subscribe, Pro belongs to your Apple ID. Cancel it in your Apple ID's subscription settings (on iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions). On a new phone, open Profile → See Holohound Pro in the app and tap Restore Purchases. The support page has the details, and we answer email.
