## What is Catanalyst?

Catanalyst - Catan Companion App

Take your Catan game nights to the next level with Catanalyst. Catanalyst is the all-in-one companion app designed for serious and casual Catan players alike - fair boards, live score tracking, dice statistics, and rules reference, all in one place.

Board Generator

Generate a new Catan board every game, tailored to how you want to play. Choose from three generation modes:

- Random: free placement with minimal restrictions, perfect for casual play
- Balanced: smart resource and number distribution for a fair game every time
- Optimized: mathematically precise placement with strict adjacency rules, pip balancing and port constraints for the most competitive experience

Full support for both 2-4 player (standard) boards and 5-6 player (extension) boards.

Score Tracker

Track every player's victory points in real time during the game or log results after the fact. Perfect for groups who want to keep a running history across multiple sessions. Features include:

- Configurable VP target (5–22 points) with quick presets
- Track settlements, cities, roads, development cards, Longest Road and Largest Army
- Hidden VP card reveal after game over
- Undo support for every action, per player

- Save completed games to history with one tap — see who won, final scores, and player count for every past game across multiple sessions

Dice Tracker

Log every roll manually as you play, or use the built-in digital dice for a fully automated experience. Find out if that 6 really did roll less than it should — detailed statistics and probability distribution charts show exactly how the dice fell across the full session.
