The night itself finally has an app. Board game nights run on rituals that software never touched. First the shelf stare: a hundred boxes, four players, ninety minutes, and twenty of them lost deciding. Then the scoring - modern games count bonuses, per-item points, majorities, whole formulas - handled with a pen and a pad that ran out of sheets three games ago. And somewhere, a copy of Azul has been at a friend's place since March, remembered by no one. Tabletally is built for that night, not the archive after it. It lives on the phone, keeps a group's shelf, and runs the evening from the first "what should we play?" to the final tally. THE SHELF-TO-TABLE PICKER A host enters who's here and how long they have, and the picker returns a short list from their own collection - honest about time, because it learned the table's real pace from past plays instead of trusting the box. Every suggestion shows its reasoning: fits five players, about fifty-five minutes at this table's pace, dusty since spring. ONE SCORE PAD FOR EVERY GAME The heart of Tabletally is a score-pad builder: counters, number fields, checkboxes worth points, per-item scoring, tiered thresholds, penalties - assembled once for a game and reused every night. Live Table Mode turns it into big chunky buttons for the table, with running totals, deep undo, and a session that survives a phone passed around or a game paused for pizza. At the end, the winner banner resolves ties by the chain the group set - and shows why - then one tap turns the final grid into a logged play. Plays accrue as a side effect: players, scores, winner, real duration. Tasteful stats follow - win rates, the hobby-famous H-index, a shelf of shame, and a dust view. Loans get tracked too, so you can see who has each game and when it was lent. FREE, AND USEFUL FOREVER - Manual game entry until the shelf has 30 owned games, 3 personal score pads, and unlimited plays and Live Table sessions - The picker's player-count and time filters - Core stats, the shelf of shame, and the dust view - CSV export of your collection and plays - always free PRO ADDS THE DEPTH - Formula components and multi-level tie-breaker chains, each shown with its math. - A picker that learns your table's real pace and ranks tonight's shortlist with visible reasoning. - Unlimited games and score pads (free manual entry checks for 30 owned games and 3 personal pads). - Bulk collection import from a CSV file you select, processed on-device. Your own CSV export stays free. - H-index history over time and per-player deep stats. - Unlimited active loans (free tracks 2). - First-player spinner, turn-order shuffle, and a per-turn timer. - Night recap share cards, plus Home Screen widgets and Siri / Shortcuts actions.
