THE NIGHT'S ONLY FUN IF EVERYONE'S IN IT Every darts night has a Sam. Fair Start reads each player's real average and suggests staggered starts — Sam plays from 501, Martin from 420, Priya from 310 — so the last leg is anyone's. No maths, no arguments, one tap. ONE PHONE ON THE TABLE Chalk is built for the way darts actually gets played: one shared device, mixed company, no signal in the cellar. No accounts, no sign-in, no setup. Add a guest by name in two taps; a repeat lineup is one. YOU THROW, CHALK KEEPS SCORE • 501 and 301 — straight or double in, straight or double out, legs and sets • Cricket, chalked like the board keeps it: marks, points, dead numbers • Tap each dart or enter visit totals — whichever suits the thrower • Busts caught automatically; the caller reads every visit out loud • Checkout routes appear the moment a finish is on, and learn your best double BRAGGING RIGHTS, KEPT FOR YOU Head-to-heads, streaks and tonight's leaderboard track themselves. Every match ends with a breakdown worth screenshotting — averages, first nine, checkout rates, 180s — and every stat shows your current form against your lifetime, so improvement is visible, not vibes. YOUR DARTS STAY YOUR DARTS No account, no cloud — your players, scores, and stats live on your phone, and you can export the lot as a file any time, free, forever. Chalk shares only anonymous usage statistics (which features get used — never who you are, never what you scored), and nothing is ever linked to you. CHALK PRO — FOR THE ONES WHO WANT MORE • Chalk Bot: a solo opponent that throws at your level and moves up as you do — and plays Cricket properly • Goals and trend charts: watch the average climb, session over session • Practice suggestions from your own numbers (“your D16 is trailing your D20 — finish on 32s tonight”) • Full match history with per-visit drill-down and filters One subscription covers the household with Family Sharing. Free forever: every game type, unlimited players, Fair Start, checkout guidance, core stats, rivalries and export. The scoreboard is never behind a paywall. — Chalk Pro is an auto-renewable subscription (monthly or yearly; the yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers).
