SparrowScore keeps score for a physical Hong Kong mahjong table. Place one iPhone or iPad at the table, choose the winner and win type, enter the hand's total faan, and let the app calculate points and running totals across the whole night. Patterns are an optional helper: search names and aliases, see why a choice is unavailable, and use its calculated total when helpful. Entered faan includes self-draw and ready bonuses; the dealer bonus is added separately. Exact amounts can be assigned to every opponent, including on discard wins. Two Hong Kong styles are built in: - HK Cantonese: configurable faan values, minimum and limit, full- or half-discarder payment, and responsibility payments. - HK Taiwanese: 16-tile scoring with base points, faan value, dealer and dealer-streak bonuses, and 拉 settlement. It can also use Cantonese-style payments. Make the rules match your table. Change a pattern's faan, disable it, mark it as a limit hand, or choose how payments work. New games use the saved house rules while games already in progress keep the rules they started with. The built-in rule book explains the tiles, winning hands, table flow, payments, table vocabulary, and every supported scoring pattern. Each supported pattern includes a drawn example hand. Use manual totals for patterns the helper does not yet cover. Features: - Cantonese interface in colloquial or written Chinese, plus English - automatic dealer rotation, prevailing wind, and dealer streaks - several games in one night, with automatic or manual seat draws - four to eight players, including substitutions and stand-ins - undo the last entry and restore points, dealer state, and 拉 debts - exact player amounts while retaining entered faan and helper evidence - custom table transfers and optional award/penalty presets that preserve the unfinished hand - saved table-award amounts and explicit rule variants in House Rules - debtor-chosen 拉 cuts from three mouths onward, with an automatic house-rule option - settle once from the whole night's points, including finalized 拉 and awards - lifetime results for every player SparrowScore is a scorekeeper, not a digital mahjong game. It does not deal tiles or move money. No account is required. SparrowScore asks for no permissions and has no server, analytics, or tracking. Everything stays on your device.
