The Magic card scanner that finally works properly.

Set, collector number, finish. Scan stacks into binders, look cards up mid-game, and get a whole collection in without typing a word.

The Sparkheim scanner reading a card

Same art, different printings. It knows the difference.

Knowing you own a Lightning Bolt is almost useless. There are dozens of them and they are not worth the same. Sparkheim looks at more of the card than the art, which is what lets it tell two printings apart when the picture on them is the same.

Printing

Set, number, finish

Prices and collection totals come in right, with nothing to correct.

Foils

Foils come in as foils

Marked and priced as foils, with nothing to toggle.

Languages

Any language

The language is saved with the card, and the set code and collector number identify it even when the text cannot be read.

Angles

Cards facing the other way

Point it at a card that is upside down to you and it still reads, so you can check an opponent's commander without leaving your seat.

Four scanners in one.

Collect

Stacks into binders

Counts, finishes and prices land as you go, a card at a time, without stopping to type.

Heimdall

A zone you set

Lock the spot and stop hunting for edges. It reads whatever lands inside it, even borderless full-art cards.

Lookup

Point it at a card, read the card

Never touches your collection. Aim, wait a beat, and the whole card opens: rules text, printings and prices.

Reader

It reads the card out loud

Name, cost, type and abilities, spoken in the card's own language. Say "Hey Siri, read a card" and it opens listening.

Meet Heimdall. The scan tower you print at home.

Named for the watchman who sees everything pass. Your phone lands on the tower, cards slide down the ramp, and the count climbs.

Adjustable

Locked with a spark

Slides to the height you want and locks with a key shaped like the Sparkheim spark. Fits any phone.

Tray

One you can reach into

Cards land in a removable magnetic tray with an open side for your fingers.

Bed

Tilted for faster feeding

Every card slides into the same spot on its own. Quicker scans, fewer rescans.

Mode

Its own scanner mode

Heimdall mode locks onto the landing spot, so even borderless full-art cards scan clean.

The Heimdall scan tower

Scan as many cards as you want, no account needed.

Most card scanners give you a handful of free scans and then ask for a subscription, an account, or both. Sparkheim's scanner is simply part of the free app.

Limits

Scan a card or a shoebox

No daily cap, no monthly quota, no paid unlock.

Offline

The database lives on your phone

Recognition never touches the network. A prerelease with no signal works like home.

Account

No sign-up, no login

Your collection stays on your device.

AI

No AI features

No chatbot, nothing generated, and nothing you scan is uploaded or used to train anything. Recognition is image matching.

Questions

Is there a limit on how many cards I can scan?

No. There is no daily cap, no monthly quota and no paid unlock. Scan one card or scan a shoebox. The scanner is part of the free app.

Does it know which printing I have?

Yes, that is the point of it. It identifies the set, the collector number and the finish, not just the card name, so prices and collection totals are right without correcting them.

Does it recognise foils?

Yes. Foils come in marked as foils and are priced as foils, with nothing to toggle.

Does it read cards in other languages?

Yes. Cards in other languages scan, and the language is saved with the card. Even where the printed text cannot be read, the set code and collector number identify the printing.

Can I read a card upside down, or in someone else's hand?

Yes, when you are reading a card rather than collecting one. Lookup and Reader both read a card that is upside down to you, and it does not need to be flat or square to the camera, so you can check an opponent's commander without leaving your seat.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your collection stays on your device.

Does the scanner work offline?

Yes. The whole card database lives on your phone, so recognition never touches the network. It works the same at a prerelease with no signal as it does at home.

Does Sparkheim use AI?

There are no AI features. No chatbot, no assistant, nothing written or drawn for you, and nothing you scan is uploaded or used to train anything. Recognition is image matching.

Is the scanner free?

Yes. The scanner is in the free app, uncapped. Sparkheim Pro adds Commander deck tools, and it does not gate scanning.
