## What is Tapp?

Tapp is a minimalist and intuitive life counter for Commander. Now redesigned for 2.0: black cards with neon detail by default, and a color palette solved by color science so every player stays readable, even if you're colorblind. Set up your game in seconds and focus on playing.

Features:
• Support for 2–6 players
• Tap to adjust life by 1, hold to adjust by 10
• Track life, poison, and commander damage for each opponent
• Support for partner commanders
• Table and facing layouts for how you're actually seated
• Dark mode and light mode
• Customize the display: compact mode, hide poison until it's used, and a cleaner start-of-game view

Built by goblins. Somehow it works.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2.0 — 2026-08-06

### 2.0.0 — 2026-07-08

Tapp 2.0 is here! It glows in the dark!

• New default look: black cards, neon player colors
• Colors solved by color science, so every player stays easy to tell apart, even if you're colorblind
• Light mode is still here if you like it bright

Life, poison, commander damage and partners are right where you left them, and your saved games carry over automatically.

The goblins wanted neon. Somehow it works even better now.

### 1.4 — 2026-06-29

New version! New positions around the table

Drop your device in the middle of the table and play with everyone seated around it.

New customization, for making the app yours

• Start mode: show one clean chip for untouched players instead of an empty grid.

"The Mob Boss likes to be at the head of the table, this update was non-negotiable."

A note from our resident goblin:
"The Mob Boss likes to be at the head of the table, this update was non-negotiable."
