How can I keep track of the number of cards in my collection while drafting?

When drafting on Magic Arena, I know that to optimally build up my collection, I should be aiming to draft no more than 4 of each rare/mythic as there's no duplicate protection.

In order to do this, I've just been entering in each card I draft into a spreadsheet that lists all the rares/mythic so I know once I hit 4 copies.

Is there any easier way to track this in game or with an external tracking program?

Holding the Alt key while drafting will overlay the number of copies in your collection on each card with a message like 2/4. There doesn't seem to be a button on the screen to press for touchscreen users, though.
