## What is Mutility?

Battle-tested for over 12 years, Mutility is a refined Magic: The Gathering life counter for up to 4 players. Designed for use on the tabletop, it pairs easy-to-tap controls with big, easy-to-read life totals so you can focus on the game - not the screen. Enjoy its basic features for free, and a single in-app purchase unlocks all other features, forever.

The full feature list:
• Life totals: tap the left side to decrease, the right to increase, or tap and hold to run continuously
• Dice: beautifully animated rolls, with an option to skip ties so you don’t keep re-rolling
• Seat layouts: arrange players so everyone reads their own total right-side up
• Names and colors: name every player and give each one their own color
• History: an editable record of every life and counter change, and when it happened. Use it to settle disputes and fix mistakes
• Starting life: 20, 30, 40, or any total you set
• More counters: track poison, energy, wins, or Commander damage alongside life
• Game timer: one shortcut starts a fresh game and resets the clock together
• Advanced controls: set the tap-and-hold life increment, enable two-finger tap for lifelink and extort in two-player games, and more
• VoiceOver and Voice Control: spoken labels for every life total, counter, and history entry, plus voice actions to adjust life and counters without touching the screen
• Siri: roll the dice, start a new game, reset the counters, or show the history without touching the screen

Available in 15 languages, including Japanese, Korean, Thai, and both Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

### 1/5 — Non serve

*2026-07-15, version 1.5.18*

Nessuno storico punteggio. Non serve a nulla. Peccato

### 5/5 — Simple and Easy

*2026-04-19, version 1.5.17*

No frills and easy to use. Been using this app for a decade now and prefer it over the Companion app. Thanks for keeping the app updated developers!

### 5/5 — Okay

*2026-04-03, version 1.5.17*

Macht das was Mann Brauch

### 5/5 — Ideal 2-player score/life tracker

*2026-03-22, version 1.5.17*

I have not come across a better app for keeping track of scores for two players. It really is great, and it's been maintained for many years through many iOS upgrades. I highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — ロルカナで使用、必要十分

*2025-11-17, version 1.5.13*

買い切り課金して初期値を0固定設定するだけでストレスも0。
わがままを言うと数字の背景画像を自身の写真フォルダから取り込んで設定させて欲しい。
ディズニーロルカナに限らず推しを配置したりプレイマットの様に盤面華やかにしたいでしょう。

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2025-11-13*

I have used this app for years for my TCGs. I currently play Star Wars Unlimited — I wish each player could independent health totals. I.e. player 1 has 30 max total health and player 2 has 25 max total health.

I currently don’t use Mutility for SWU because of this limitation. I hope they add this feature one day soon.

Love the app overall. Would recommend.

### 5/5 — Best scoring app

*2025-02-14, version 1.5.12*

Use this for all head to head games with a life score.

### 5/5 — Perfect app for Legions Realms At War

*2024-10-07, version 1.5.12*

Recently got this app for DCM and Consume counting for the Canadian card game Legions Realms At War, and it’s perfect. Great customizable menu for all purposes and super easy to function and it was also 1000% worth-it to pay the small fee to upgrade the app. Recommend this to all TCG players, excited to see how this app grows too

### 5/5 — 便利

*2024-05-01, version 1.5.12*

長年ずっと使っています。
文句なしのアプリです

### 5/5 — The best one pt 1

*2024-01-21, version 1.5.12*

It’s the best one.
