AetherCache is a free, local-first Magic: The Gathering collection manager that turns a camera into a cataloging instrument — each card identified offline, the moment it passes beneath the lens, no internet connection required. Recorded into a virtual ledger that lives on your own machine. Want it on a second machine too? Point both installs at the same Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive folder — no account needed.
No subscriptions, no telemetry, no cloud dependency — a disciplined tool for scanning, tracking, and (optionally) syncing what you own.
Pass cards beneath the lens. On-device OCR quickly reads every card as it goes by. Manual capture and cataloguing is available for sticky cards.
Your collection is recorded to a local binder on your machine — fully offline, no internet connection needed to scan or browse. No AetherCache subscription, no central server, no LLMs.
Connect two installs to the same Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive account (or point them at the same local folder) — each one exports your collection there automatically, and you pull in changes from the other with a manual Import & Merge. No AetherCache account required.
Track foil counts separately, attach notes and labels to individual copies, and review flagged scans before they commit.
A dedicated tab breaks your collection down by color, mana curve, and rarity — computed entirely on your own machine.
AetherCache is a completely free Magic: The Gathering collection manager — no paywalled features hiding behind your own collection.
AetherCache is in active beta — this screenshot reflects a recent build, but the UI is still evolving.
Available now for Windows and Android.
