Version 1.7
September 2026
Latest
A new Detailed sticker, a print list that only shows what needs a label, imports that update instead of doubling, and a warning before your tape runs out.
A new sticker
- Detailed: pick it in the Label studio. The card name across the top, the number and set under it ("#199 · OBF"), a box for the condition or the grade (PSA 10), and the price, with room for your QR code or your logo.
- Happy with your labels? Nothing changes until you pick it.
Faster at the table
- To print shows just the cards that need a sticker: new ones, and ones whose price moved, with an up or down arrow and what the old sticker said.
- Already labelled? Mark cards as printed without printing them.
- Print 2 of your 5 copies, tap a price to change it, or hold a card to print just that one.
- The printer's status sits at the top of the list.
Importing, fixed
- See what a file will do before anything changes: new cards, cards you already have, cards with no price.
- Re-import an updated file and your counts update instead of doubling. Collectr, TCGplayer and ShadowSnap files come in with their prices and grades.
More cards, more pictures
- Cards from Collectr, ShadowSnap and other apps find their picture far more often, including the ones already in your list.
- The 30th Celebration sets are in search.
- Tap + and choose Single, Slab or Sealed. Each one searches its own shelf.
How much tape is left
- ShadowTag learns how many labels a roll holds and warns you before you run dry mid-show.
Printer fixes
- Nelko P21: the Darkness slider works, and batches no longer stop with a false "lid open" or "out of labels".
- QR codes print square, so phone cameras read them.
- Two-finger select works again.
Also
- A faster list, pictures that stay on your phone, one Settings page with Help, room for large text, and a printer log you can send us if a print goes wrong.
Version 1.3
August 2026
The door comes off, and pricing gets rebuilt. No more codes: ShadowTag opens straight into your inventory. Nothing to enter, no account to make, and nobody to DM at midnight asking for one.
Pricing, rebuilt
- Every rule is its own row now, with its setting in plain sight instead of buried in a sentence.
- Live preview on top: type a price, watch the label price move. You'll know what a rule does before you print forty of them.
- New rounding options: round up or down, then add or subtract a fixed amount. Round up to the nearest $5 and knock a dollar off, if that's how your table prices. All four combinations, no fine print.
Printers
- NIIMBOT D11: the D11 comes in two versions that have to be driven differently, and ShadowTag assumed everyone had the newer one. On the other kind a label would print and then the app would stall. It now recognizes which one you've connected, with nothing to set up.
- Nelko P21: printers that connected but wouldn't print now do. ShadowTag tries every way your printer might be listening instead of just one.
- Errors that explain themselves: printer problems now say what went wrong instead of timing out and blaming the printer.
- Out of tape mid-batch? ShadowTag says so, points you at the roll that fits your printer, and holds your place in the queue. Load, tap Resume, carry on.
- No printer yet? There are two on the printer screen that work out of the box, starting under $17.
Thanks to the vendors testing on printers we don't own. Keep it coming.
Version 1.1
August 2026
Printer reliability update.
- Rebuilt the Bluetooth printing pipeline so batch runs stop stalling mid-print.
Version 1.0
August 2026
The first App Store release: import your collection, price it your way, and print only the labels that changed.
Import & pricing
- CSV import from Collectr, TCGplayer and other scanning apps, or any generic spreadsheet, with "Open in ShadowTag" from Mail, Files, or Drive.
- Your prices stay yours: no internet lookups, no market overrides.
- The price ladder: split inventory into bands you control, each with its own rounding rule, and reprice everything in one tap.
Labels & printing
- Label studio: your logo, your QR code, your words, previewed at true printer resolution.
- Sticker memory: ShadowTag remembers every label it prints and flags New and Changed cards on re-import, so you print the 23 labels that moved, not all 400.
- Batch printing with time estimates, plus Pause and Resume that survive closing the app.
- Live print status in the Dynamic Island.
- Fully offline: importing, pricing, and printing all run on the phone.
- Printer support: Nelko P21 and NIIMBOT D11/D110 over Bluetooth.
