Compera is the second iOS app we ship, alongside the Capacitor-based VendBro build below. SwiftUI top to bottom, ARKit owns the camera, and the scanner pins on-screen checkmarks to physical cards via world-tracking — lay out a fan of cards, scan through them, and the ones you've already done stay tagged off as you move the phone around.
Same account, same scan endpoint, same pricing data as the web app and Android build — log in once, your history, inventory, and sessions follow. The difference is the camera pipeline. Compera runs on Apple's native stack: Vision detectors in parallel, perspective-corrected capture, a Lock Screen Live Activity for active scan sessions, and a Control Center Quick Scan tile that opens straight to the scanner.
On iPhone 16 with the Camera Control button (or from the screenshot button on any iPhone running iOS 26), Compera shows up in the system Visual Intelligence results when there's a card on screen. Circle the card, tap Compera, you're on the result page.
Holo detection is on the way. Phase 1 is a per-pixel circular-variance reduction over a short frame stack to tell holo from reverse-holo from non-holo — since the price gap between those variants is often the whole point of the lookup.
Needs iPhone XS or newer (the multi-card AR overlay leans on ARKit world tracking) and iOS 17 or later. Internal testers only for now. App Store public submission is queued; email [email protected] if you want a TestFlight invite.
We trained a dedicated Japanese recognition model and wired it into every scan. 30,000+ Japanese cards indexed, full graded-price ladder inline (Raw / PSA 9 / PSA 9.5 / PSA 10 / BGS 10 / CGC 10 / SGC 10), and each result carries its English equivalent so you get TCGPlayer/PriceCharting pricing on every JP card you scan.
Auto-detect is on by default — point the camera at a JP card and it routes automatically. Menu → Language to force EN or 日本語 if you're sweeping a binder of one language and want to skip the detection step.
First iOS build is processing on TestFlight. Same feature set as Android — camera scanning, List Mode, Live Scan, variant picker, cloud session sync. Native Sign in with Apple and Google Sign-In both work in-app. Email [email protected] to get on the tester list.
Note: this is the Capacitor hybrid build (a wrapper around the web app). The new SwiftUI-native iOS app, Compera, is a separate build with a different camera pipeline and AR scan overlay — see the May 12 entry at the top of this page.
VendBro was approved and is live on the Google Play Store. You can install the Android app directly — no more PWA installs, no Chrome workaround. Same login, same data, everything syncs with the web app.
New List Mode on the bottom bar: tap the shutter, stack cards into a running priced list, pick variants, save the whole session. Tap any card in the list to see graded prices and Japanese matches. Export to CSV or save to history.
Sessions now sync across devices. Scan on your phone at the show, review the list on the web app when you're back home — same account, same data, same session labels. Variant selections and SKUs persist too.
Native Google Sign-In now keeps you in-app on both Android and iOS — no more browser redirect. Same for Sign in with Apple on iOS. Already shipped to the Play Store (v1.0.6) and landing on TestFlight now.
- App Store public submission for both VendBro and Compera
- Holo / reverse-holo disambiguation on Compera's native scan path
- Real-world Japanese card evaluation (phone shots under show-floor lighting, sleeves, binder pages)
- On-device card detection model so Live Mode detects cards at 30fps without a network round-trip
