Scott's TCG Binder
Scott’s TCG Binder can use your private iCloud account to synchronize supported personal collection information between compatible devices. The application separates personal collection data from large local catalog and recognition resources so synchronization does not require moving the entire Pokémon catalog between devices.

Additional platform screenshots will be added as this guide is expanded.
Collection items (quantity, condition, foil, language, storage location, notes, grading, favorite, for-trade, for-sale, purchase price, and manual value), storage locations you add, wishlist items, tracked sets, decks, and activity from edits you make. Catalog identity travels with the card so the other device can match it locally.
The Pokémon catalog and its artwork, pricing history, recognition data, scan originals, condition-analysis images, inventory-audit sessions, and these sync switches. Market value stored on the card is not uploaded. Binder, page, and slot are not part of the iCloud record.
Sync Personal Images says photos upload separately from collection metadata, and that turning it off keeps images on this device. Image transfer is skipped in Low Power Mode, and on cellular unless Sync on Cellular is on. A failed photo transfer does not drop the card record. Scan originals are not synchronized. Local-network Collection Sync, on iPhone Catalog, is the path that copies collection photos between a paired Mac and iPhone.
When the same field was edited on two devices, Sync Issues lists the card and offers Keep This Device or Use Other Device. After a backup restore, sync stays paused until Merge With Cloud. If the iCloud account changes, sync pauses and Keep Local Collection Only is the offered action. Offline edits stay on the device and upload on the next sync.
On iPhone, Cloud Sync is under More and also linked from Settings. Supported personal collection records, storage locations you add, wishlist items, tracked sets, and decks sync through your private iCloud account. The Pokémon catalog stays on this device. Sync My Collection is the switch. Sync Now runs only while that switch is on. Status can read Off, Synced, Changes waiting to sync, Syncing…, Offline, Sign In Required, Backup Restored, or Sync temporarily unavailable. Sync Personal Images and Sync on Cellular are separate switches under Sync Options. The captured iPhone has Sync Personal Images on and Sync on Cellular off. Delete Cloud Collection Data removes the iCloud copy and does not erase this device.

Sync status describes the personal collection, not the local catalog.
Mac, iPhone, and iPad share the same collection model. Each platform presents those records in a layout that fits its screen.
