Personal Area (Player Account)
The Personal Area is a comprehensive section designed for competitive players. It allows you to manage your personal Star Wars: Unlimited collection, track your completion progress in real-time, and export data for the main ecosystem platforms.
Cloud-First Sync
Log in using your Google account to sync your collection across all your devices. Our Local-First architecture ensures that even without an internet connection, your collection is accessible and updates are queued for background synchronization.

Collection Management
Manage your cards with detailed variant support. Added cards are immediately backed up to our secure servers.

Our system supports the most comprehensive list of variants (Normal, Foil, Hyperspace, etc.). You can now perform a Full Clear of your collection via the Settings menu if you need to start fresh or resolve sync issues.
Power User Tools
OCR Scanner 2.0
Identify cards instantly via camera. Use the "Scan Next" button for rapid-fire additions to your collection without leaving the camera view.
LigaStarWars Integration
Export your collection in the official 14-column format for ligastarwars.com.br. The app automatically maps all variants to the "Extras" column for perfect compatibility.
Advanced Data Export
Download your data in CSV or JSON formats with granular filters. Perfect for backup or external analysis.
How to Use: Card Recon (Scanner)
For the best recognition results, follow these professional tips:
- Title is Key: Our OCR engine primarily uses the card title for identification. Ensure the top area of the card is perfectly clear.
- Manual Zoom: Use the on-screen zoom slider or pinch-to-zoom to bring the card title into sharp focus. A larger, clearer title means faster recognition.
- Distance Matters: Don't get too close. Stay at a distance that allows the camera to auto-focus, then use the digital zoom to fill the frame with the card.
- Avoid Glare: Tilting the card slightly can help avoid reflections from sleeves or high-gloss finishes.
How to Use: App Settings
Manage your account and local data through the Settings view:
- Clear Collections: Found at the bottom of Settings. Use this to remove specific sets from your local database and remote account. Warning: This action is irreversible.
- Nickname: Update how your name appears in the header and on shared data.
- Active Sets: Choose which collections are visible in the app to reduce clutter.
Streaming Overlays
Our overlays are web pages that read the live data from your mobile app.
Premier Overlay
Optimized for 1v1 broadcasts. Sleek, minimal and clear.
live/overlay.php?id=YOUR_ID
Twin Suns Overlay
