## What is Moxtopper?

No game of Commander is complete without Moxtopper on your table.


EASY TO USE

• Keep track of every player’s life total with tasty text and chonky buttons.

• The user interface is designed to be usable from all viewing directions. Just place your iPhone or iPad in the middle of your play surface and you’re good to go. 

• Multiple-touch support. Your whole play group can use it at the same time.


TRACKS COMMANDER DAMAGE

• We know that tracking commander damage is a *huge* pain. With Moxtopper, it couldn’t be easier. At any time a player can swipe horizontally on their play area to see how much commander damage they’ve taken from all the other players’ commanders.

• Commander damage is tracked per *commander*, so it works great with partner commanders, too! 

• If you’re using partner commanders, just swipe down on your play area and press the “Partners” button to toggle partner commander mode on or off.


GREAT FOR EVERY PLAY GROUP

• Moxtopper is optimized to work great not just for 4 player games, but also for any game of 1 to 10 — yes, ten! — players. That means it’s right at home during one-on-one games of Friday Night Magic as well as gigantic Multiplayer Planechase House Rules Banlist Slugfests.

• Configurable with a total of 32 possible seating arrangements so that layout of play areas on the screen always comfortably matches the way your play group likes to sit around the table.


UPGRADE YOUR EXPERIENCE

• Customize each player’s area with awesome digital “playmats”, similarly to how you are probably rolling out full art playmats on your game table in real life.

• Comes with five free digital playmats

• Additional digital playmats can be unlocked via in-app purchases, including one that lets you import any photo you want from your Photos library. Thanks ahead of time for supporting Moxtopper through these must-have upgrades!

• In addition to the playmats, there are bonus themes in fun, readable colors.


OTHER COOL FEATURES

• STATS-S-S-S-S-S — Keep track of in-game numbers like commander tax, infect, storm, experience, energy, mana pools, and more using the player options menu (swipe down on your player to see these options).

• TURN CLOCKS — Turn on Turn Clocks to help folks stay mindful of how long their turns are. Just like chess clocks, they tick down the seconds from your customizable start time. Moxtopper ensures only one player can be active at a time.

• AIRPLAY — Stream your game locally via AirPlay to a compatible Apple TV by enabling Screen Mirror and using the app like you normally would. Great for going top-eight at your Local Game Store!

• CHARTS — Share and remember your splashiest games with cool charts that show the roller coaster ride of life totals as they change over the course of a game. Requires iOS/iPadOS 16 or later.

• HIGH ROLL — Save time by high-rolling to see who plays first with just a single tap.

• APP ICONS — Bling out your homescreen with a bunch of alternate app icons.

• SCRYFALL — Scryfall search box integrated into the main options menu.

• MADE BY A FAN — Moxtopper is made by a fan of the game, just one guy (me, the one writing this, howdy) who really really likes artisanal, hand-made, bespoke, fussy, delightful little apps with big dreams. Seriously I appreciate all the support ya’ll send my way. 


WHAT IS COMMANDER?

### 5/5 — really good

*2026-06-21*

i love to play magic with my family🤪

### 5/5 — Best life tracker imo

*2026-05-05, version 3.4*

Used on iOS. Tracks commander damage, poison counters, commander tax etc. Love this app

### 2/5 — Needs more to compete

*2026-01-04, version 3.3.1*

Charging for backgrounds was hilarious. He has more abilities to display counters and life status.

### 4/5 — Ansich eine sehr gute App

*2025-11-24*

Auf dem Tablet ist die App tadellos. Aber auf dem Handy funktioniert aus irgendeinem Grund das mit dem Commander-Schaden nicht. Wir ziehen Commander-Schaden ab, aber die eigentlichen Lebenspunkte sinken dann nicht. Da müssen wir dann immer separat nochmals die Punkte abziehen. Wenn das behoben wird, gibts 5 Sterne, so hätten wir gern 4,5 Sterne gegeben 😬

### 4/5 — Wonderful App! Lovely Sounds!

*2025-10-27*

A wonderful app I’ve continued to use for YEARS, one thing I love is the little graph of life loss that shows up during 3 player games. I would love for that to be enabled in any 4 player game by the swipe down menu. But all in all, great app.

### 5/5 — Never playing without this

*2025-09-25*

I saw someone at my local game store using this app and I thought it looked cool, so I downloaded it and the rest is history. This app has become my favorite life tracking app of all time. Sending the life totals graph to my friend group after a game night is so much fun. Especially when someone gains a ton of life and then gets smacked with 300 damage. It’s a fun reflection of how the game went. If anyone is looking for a life tracker this is the one to get hands down!

### 1/5 — Poor poor poor

*2025-07-27, version 3.2.3*

This really doesn't work as I was promised

### 5/5 — My Go To

*2025-07-05*

I’ve been using this app for a few years at this point and I absolutely love it! Great UI, easy to understand and use, and I love the custom backgrounds, worth the little extra it cost. 
One thing I’d love to see in a future update would be if the backgrounds transitioned after so many minutes or if there there was some type of GIF support, but overall I think this is a wonderful app and I’ll continue using it for the foreseeable future! 👌

### 5/5 — Best MTG life counter

*2025-04-25*

This is the greatest life counter I have ever used for Magic. I get asked about this app a lot and people really seem to like it!

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-03-27, version 3.2.2*
