## What is GBKeeper?

GBKeeper is an unofficial Guild Ball app for building teams and tracking damage during games.

LIBRARY

The Library allows you to browse through all the players in every guild.  View each card and see what Union players will work for that guild.  You can also search by player name and position.

TEAMS

Team is where Guild Ball teams are constructed.  Create a team by selecting a guild and then choosing the captain, mascot and any number of players.  Both in-guild and Union options are presented in one table. You can also build your team by flipping through the card views.
When you're heading to an Organized Play event, build a Roster and select your team from that Roster each time you start a game.
Once you’ve built your team use the share button to text a friend with your latest creation.

PLAY

Take your team onto the pitch with the Play screen.  Track your VPs, Goals and Momentum while also tracking individual player health.  As you activate players you can mark each as activated so you know who still needs to go.  Once a player hits 0 health, they are automatically Taken Out.  The Next Turn button quickly de-activates each player and assigns any Taken Out players an Icy Sponge token (if they can receive them).  Use the Return to Pitch option to bring a player back out and automatically apply their Icy Sponges to update their health.
Optionally track the opponent's team alongside your own, offering quick access to your opponent's cards.

CONNECT

Connect to nearby opponents: share team lists, health and activation status of players, victory points, goals, take outs and current momentum. You don't need an internet connection, you can connect device-to-device directly with WiFi, even without a network.

REFERENCE

Have a rules question? Head to the Reference screen.  Access to the full Season 4 PDF rulebook right within the app, along with the Organized Play document, guild cards and errata.  Still have a question? Jump to the rules forum or search the rules forum right from the app.

MATCH TRACKING

Store matches for your teams including Victory Points, Goals, Take Outs and players for both teams, opponent,  match date, location and notes about the match.

### 5/5 — App is great

*2025-12-18, version 2.1.4*

The app has made it a lot easier for quick in game rules. You don’t need to keep cards with you all the time. Hopefully the updates soon with all the new Guild Ball stuff coming and FAQ’s.

### 5/5 — Must have app for Guild Ball players

*2024-04-04, version 2.1.4*

If you play Guild Ball, either casually or competitively, this is the app you need. I use it with my opponents on iPads and it shows all the information you need right upfront. It’s easy to read easy to use and for my gaming group and I nothing else compares. This app is solid and you can’t go wrong.

### 5/5 — Far superior to “official” app

*2018-11-11, version 2.0.0*

This is an amazing app that I use exclusively for GB. Why isn’t this one the official?

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-05-25, version 1.6.1*

This is a great reference app.  The only thing I would add is the game plan deck.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-05-24, version 1.6.0*

Use this app every time I play, has every card available for every guild that I like to look through when I'm bored. Really easy and simple to use, would gladly pay for this app.
