How it works

Three things you can stop
doing today.

Built around the parts of pin collecting that actually waste your time.

01

Stop guessing what's in your shoebox.

Scan, identify, log. Three seconds per pin — name, series, edition size, all in.

02

Stop fighting your spreadsheet.

Boards, filters, search — everything you wanted, none of the manual entry.

03

Stop hunting through DMs.

Mark pins tradeable, build a wishlist, get matched automatically when someone has your grail.

What you get

Built for serious
collectors.

Each feature, hand-crafted. No filler. Just the things a real collector reaches for.

AI Pin Scanner

Identify any pin in seconds.

Point your camera. The scanner recognizes the pin and pulls in its name, series, and characters from a database that grows weekly. No more squinting at the back stamp at midnight.

  • Works on Limited Edition, mystery, and pin-trading pins
  • Suggests likely matches when the angle is tricky
  • Adds the pin to your collection with a single tap

Collection & Boards

Your collection, finally browsable.

Every pin becomes a card. Group them into boards by series, character, year — or your own private logic. Public boards build your collector profile; private ones stay just for you.

  • Sign in on any device — iPhone, iPad, Android, desktop
  • Filter by series, character, year, or condition
  • Series view — see what you have and what is missing

Trading & Wishlist

Find the trade. Land the grail.

Mark pins as tradeable, build a prioritized wishlist, follow other collectors. When someone has what you want and wants what you have, the match surfaces — no DM-archaeology required.

  • Tradeable pins are visible to people you follow
  • Wishlist priorities help you focus on grail pins
  • Activity feed: in the loop without doom-scrolling

From real collectors

Built with the
community.

I had a shoebox of 200 pins from estate sales and gift exchanges — no idea what most of them were. Scanned them on the couch over a weekend and finally know what I own.

I spent two years chasing one grail through five different Facebook groups. Put it on my wishlist here and got matched with a trader inside a week.

I used to come home from the parks with the same pin twice. Now I pull up the series view at the counter — I see instantly what I'm missing and what I'd be duplicating.

FAQ

Questions,
answered.

Is Pindorado free?

Yes. Starter is free forever — up to 50 pins, 2 boards, and 20 scans per month. Premium ($4.99/mo — launch price) unlocks unlimited everything plus profile sharing, showcase, and series tools. A yearly plan is coming soon. Cancel anytime.

Does Pindorado check if a pin is authentic or a scrapper?

No — and we want to be honest about that. The scanner identifies pins, it doesn't authenticate them. Scrapper detection is a hard problem and we'd rather ship nothing than ship something unreliable. Treat the scanner as identification, not authentication.

How accurate is the pin scanner?

It identifies most pins from a clear photo within seconds. For tricky angles, worn pins, or rare backstamps, it shows you the most likely matches and you pick the right one. Accuracy keeps improving as the reference database grows.

Does the scanner work in low light or on a lanyard?

Yes — that's where we test it most. It handles indoor lighting, midday sun, and pins worn on a lanyard from a bit of a distance. One-handed, phone case on, lanyard moving — that's the real-world we built for. Heavy glare or pins behind plastic still trips it; pull the pin out for those.

Who can see my collection?

Private by default. Your pins and boards are visible only to you unless you explicitly mark a board public. You control what — if anything — appears on your collector profile. We never share your collection data with anyone.

I have 100+ pins. Do I really have to scan them one by one?

No. Send us your photos via our support page and we'll handle the import for you within 3-5 business days. Free for collections of 100+ pins.

Why iOS only? When will Android come?

We're a small team and chose to nail the iOS experience first. Android users can use the Web App today — full collection, boards, wishlist, and trading features. A native Android app is on the roadmap but not yet committed to a date.

Can I use Pindorado on multiple devices?

Yes — your collection lives in your account, not on a single device. Sign in on iPhone, iPad, Android, or desktop and everything is there: pins, boards, wishlist, trades. Switch phones, share with a partner, scan from your iPad on the couch — same collection, everywhere.

Will Pindorado still be here in 5 years?

We're going to be straight: we can't promise forever. What we can promise is that we're indie — no VC, no acquisition plans, no growth-at-all-costs board breathing down our necks. Pindorado runs as long as collectors keep paying for it. We're building the kind of app we'd want to use ourselves for the next decade.

What happens to my data if Pindorado shuts down?

If we ever wind down, we commit to giving 90 days notice and keeping the export endpoint open through that window. Your data is yours — exportable as CSV/JSON. We won't sell your data, ever.

Can I cancel Premium anytime?

Yes. Cancel from the app or your App Store subscription settings. You keep Premium access until the end of your current billing period. No refund games, no retention pop-ups.
