Photocards · for K-pop photocard collectors
PocaBinder is a photocard binder app for K-pop collectors who want one place for the cards they own and the ones they are still hunting. You type in the group, the members, and each release with its versions, and the app lays out a slot for every member and version. Photograph a card you own, or pick a photo you already took, and it is cropped to card shape and dropped into its slot while the completion count goes up. A Home Screen widget shows a different card from your binder each day, and the whole collection stays on your phone.
Shoot the card against a card-shaped guide, or pick a photo you already have and crop it to the 55 x 85 mm card ratio. Tap Save and the card slides into a clear top-loader sleeve and settles with a small haptic tap; your very first one also gets a burst of sparkles and the line "Your first poca is in!" Then it sits in the binder grid, and the release moves from 0 of 6 to 1 of 6 collected.
Add the small or medium widget and it shows one card from your binder each day, picked from the cards you have collected and photographed. It changes at midnight. The medium size also shows the member, the group, and the release, set in the same clear-sleeve look as the app.
Give a card the Top loader frame, a pearl edge with a diagonal shine, or the pink Blossom frame with petals in two corners. The share screen turns it into one image with the member's name, the group and release, and how much of that release you have collected, ready to save to Photos or send from the share sheet.
Most collectors keep track with a mix of things: a printed lineup template with the owned cards crossed out, a list in a notes app, a spreadsheet tab for each comeback, and a camera roll full of binder pages. That holds up until there are five releases with three versions each, a fansign perk, and a wishlist that lives somewhere other than the collection.
Apps built around a shared catalog have the opposite problem. They are only as complete as the catalog, so a store-exclusive version, a season's greetings set, or the perk from last month's event may simply not be there yet. PocaBinder starts from the other end: an empty binder that you shape to exactly what you collect.
Add an artist by typing the name and choosing Group or Solo. For a group, type every member in one field, separated by commas; a solo artist becomes the single member automatically. Then add a release with a title, an optional date, a type (Album, Season's Greetings, Fansign perk, Bromide, Official MD, or Other), and its versions, again as one comma-separated line such as A ver, B ver, C ver.
PocaBinder makes a card slot for every member and version, so three members and three versions give you a nine-slot grid. The next release opens with the type and versions you used last time already filled in. If another version turns up later, type it into the release and the grid grows; cards you already logged keep their place.
Tap an empty slot, marked with a question mark, and the card screen opens. Take a photo with the card-shaped guide on screen, or choose one from Photos. If you only shared selected photos with the app, a Manage selected photos button adds more to that selection. Pick a status: Owned, Wishlist, For trade, or Transferred. Add a card number and a memo about where the card came from or its condition if you want, choose a frame, and save.
Completion counts Owned and For trade cards and leaves out Wishlist and Transferred, so a card you passed on drops out of the total without losing its record. The release grid, the artist page, and the binder home all show it the same two ways: a count such as 5 of 9 collected, and a percentage on a bar.
Mark a slot as Wishlist and it joins the others you are hunting in the Wishlist tab. When one finally arrives, tap Got it! under it and it moves to Owned; add the photo whenever you are ready.
On the binder home, search across artist, member, release, and version names, and narrow the grid with chips for release type and status. The Stats tab shows overall completion, completion for each artist, how many cards sit in each status, and a seven-day bar chart of the cards you added or updated.
There is no account and nothing to sign in to. PocaBinder makes no network requests and carries no analytics SDK. Photos are copied into the app's own storage on your phone and the binder data sits next to them. The only images that leave are the share cards you choose to save or send.
The first time you open PocaBinder there is a sample binder for a made-up group, so you can tap around before adding anything of your own, and one button in Settings removes it. Settings also switches between the dark binder theme and a light pearl theme, and Delete all data wipes every artist, release, card, and photo from the app in one go.
PocaBinder ships no artist database, no official images, and no logos. Every name in it is one you typed, and every picture is one you took or picked from your own photos. There is no marketplace, no price tracking, no trade matching, and no chat; For trade is a label for your own reference, not a listing. There is no feed and no cloud sync either, so the binder is kept on the phone it was made on.
PocaBinder is an independent app. It is not affiliated with any artist, entertainment agency, or official merchandise.
No. It ships no artist database and no official card images. You type the group, members, and releases yourself, with members and versions entered as one comma-separated line, and the app builds the slots for you.
Yes. Choose a photo from your library and crop it to the card shape, which also works if you allowed access to selected photos only. You can also photograph the card inside the app with a card-shaped guide.
No. There is no account and no server. Photos and records are stored inside the app on your phone, and nothing is sent anywhere unless you save or share a card image yourself.
It picks one card a day from the cards that count as collected and have a photo, and it changes at midnight. There is a small and a medium size on iPhone; the medium one adds the group and release name.
Yes. Owned and For trade both count as collected. Wishlist and Transferred cards keep their slot but do not count, so a card you passed on lowers the total until you collect it again.
No. For trade is a status you give your own cards so you remember which ones you would swap. There is no listing, matching, pricing, or messaging in the app.
