Ninefoil FAQ
Choose a question to see the answer.
Can I use Ninefoil without an account?
Yes. Your binder saves on this device. An account adds automatic sync across devices; local saving continues too.
Does my binder sync between my phone and desktop?
Yes. Sign in to the same account on both devices. Edits sync automatically, and offline changes upload after reconnection. A choice is shown only for competing edits or a guest binder meeting an existing account binder.
How do I back up my work?
Open Collection → More → Import or export and choose Download full JSON, or choose Download a copy in your account menu. That file preserves the binder arrangement, card details, and supported appearance settings.
Can I switch between white and black binders?
Yes. Use Binder color above the page. This is a visual preference; it does not replace or modify card artwork.
Can pages have four, nine, or twelve pockets?
Yes. Choose 4 (2 × 2), 9 (3 × 3), or 12 (3 × 4) from Page pockets. Existing pages can have different sizes.
What if I shrink a page that has too many cards?
Ninefoil warns you if cards will no longer fit. Cards removed from pockets stay in your library; they are not deleted. You can undo a change immediately.
Can I sort my cards automatically?
Yes. Choose a sort rule above the binder and apply it to one page or the whole binder. Sorting changes pocket positions, so use Undo if the result is not what you intended.
Can I sort the card list without rearranging my binder?
Yes. The My cards list has its own sort menu for name, set, number, ownership, and binder page. Sorting that list does not move any cards.
Are card images always accurate?
How do I find a particular promo or Japanese card?
Switch to All cards, choose the language, and search by name or collector number. Open the result to verify the exact set and artwork before adding it.
Can I track cards I want but do not own?
Yes. Wishlist records are separate from owned copies. You can place a wishlist card in a pocket as a planning aid without marking it owned.
Does this include live market prices?
No live-price guarantee is made in Ninefoil. Card catalog data and marketplace values can differ; check current listings separately before buying or selling.
Is Ninefoil officially affiliated with Pokémon?
No. Ninefoil is an independent fan-made organizer and is not produced, endorsed, or affiliated with The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, Creatures Inc., or Game Freak.
