The Composer, annotated: the rule stack you build by tapping, the plain-English readout that reads the query back, the live result count, and the save control that keeps the query as a Program.

--- title: "Composer ⊚" description: "PD's visual query builder: compose a question about the whole catalog from tappable rules, watch it answer live, save it as a Program, and act on the result in bulk." category: "app" keywords: ["composer", "query", "search", "programs", "filters", "bulk", "spectrum"] last_updated: "2026-09-25" --- # Composer ⊚ Every serious collector eventually has a question the search box can't hold: *owned by a mutual, under half an ETH, warm palette, from a project I star.* Composer is where that question gets built — visually, rule by rule — and answered live against the whole catalog. **How:** Open Global Search — the Composer is the special first row. - **①︎ The rules** — tappable chips: price bounds, project scope, palette and traits, owner social classes, your own lists. - **②︎ The Readout** — the query read back in plain English, so you always know what you actually asked. - **③︎ The live answer** — the catalog answers as you compose; no run button. - **④︎ Programs** — save the query and it keeps answering with live data whenever you return. ## Where it lives Open **Global Search** — the Composer is the special first row. It runs on a deliberately dark stage of its own, whatever colorway the app is wearing. ## Composing A query is a stack of tappable rules: price bounds (◊), project scope, palette and trait facets, **owner social classes** (yours ⚭, mutuals ⚯, followed ⚬, strangers △ — and ⟁ **CARTEL**, wallets holding multiple Outputs of the same project), and **your own lists** (★ starred, ✛ wishlist, ◰ albums). Scope the query to a single project and its full **trait vocabulary** (⨝) unlocks as rules. **Price rules** read every Output's real history: its **last sale**, **mint price**, **best offer** or **highest sale** above or below a number (or none at all); its **ask vs.** the floor, its mint, its last sale or its best offer by a percentage ("listed 20% under floor"); when it **last sold** (within N days, over N days ago, never); **times sold**; and how long it's been **held**. Any rule can be flipped with **NOT**, and tapping the **AND** in front of a rule switches the whole stack to **OR** — match any one rule instead of all of them. Sorts go past price and rarity too: **last sale**, **recent sale**, **vs. floor**, and **rarity per ETH**. As you build, **the Readout** reads the query back in plain English — the sentence *is* the query, so you always know exactly what you asked. The match count pops with every rule, with the ±N bite each rule takes. ## The answer does things Results are a real gallery, and the gallery acts: - **Select** (❐) flips into bulk mode — **CART ALL**, **WISHLIST ALL**, or **ALBUM ALL** (your choice of a numbered snapshot frozen to this moment, or a live Program-backed album that keeps answering). - **Link** (⧉) mints a share URL that opens the Composer onto the live query — send a question, not a screenshot. - **LIST MINE** puts every match you hold in the List sheet; **OFFER ALL** opens the Offer sheet on every match you don't. - **Σ listed value** rides the live strip — what the whole answer would cost — beside the answer's **⌊ floor** and **average ask**. ## Programs Save a query as a **Program** and it keeps living: each Program wears **the Spectrum** — the color distribution of its current answer — so a saved question visibly changes complexion as the market moves under it. Open a Program's manage row and tap **WATCH**: PD runs it for you every minute, app open or not, and Pings you when a **new** Output matches — one Ping per Program, however many landed. What already matched when you turned it on is the starting line, never a Ping. And when a query strangles itself to zero matches, **the Loosener** names the rule doing the strangling — a tappable "frees N" pill — so a dead end is one tap from alive. ## Further reading - [Discovery](/docs/app/discovery) - [Collector Tools](/docs/app/collector-tools)
