Nashume (Na-shoom) is the scoreboard for game night. Whether you're keeping a simple point count or playing a game with real rules, it handles the math so you can keep playing. SCORE BY VOICE Hands full of cards, controller, or a drink? Just say it. "Give Thunder Ducks 5 points." "Take 2 away from Lawn Sharks." You always get a preview before anything changes, so a misheard name never scores for the wrong team. (Voice features require Apple Intelligence.) GAMES THAT KNOW THEIR OWN RULES Six game types, each with a scorer built for how it's actually played: • Custom — a flexible counter for any game. Highest wins, lowest wins, or first to a target. You decide what a point means. • Cornhole — enter each round's bags on and in; cancellation scoring is calculated for you. Optional bust rule. • Fishbowl — the three-round party game, with a per-round timer, end-of-round buzz, and a round-by-round breakdown. • Darts — Countdown (501/301 to exactly zero, with bust detection) and Cricket (close out 15–20 and the Bull on a live grid). • Hearts — per-hand penalty entry with a one-tap "shoot the moon." • Bank — the push-your-luck dice game, with pot tracking and per-player banking. Every game type includes built-in How to Play rules, so nobody has to look them up mid-argument. NEVER ARGUE ABOUT THE SCORE Every point change is logged with a timestamp, what changed, and the running total. Add a note to any entry ("penalty," "bonus round") and settle it later by looking, not remembering. SEE WHO'S ACTUALLY WINNING Teams rank live as scores change. In custom games, everyone behind sees exactly how many points they need to take the lead. GAME NIGHT TOOLKIT • Tournament brackets — single and double elimination • Team Maker — split a group into fair teams • Dice roller with saved presets • Coin flip and card draw • A plain counter for everything else ASK SIRI "Hey Siri, what's the score in Nashume?" Check standings, start a game, or update a score without opening the app. BUILT FOR REAL GAME NIGHTS • Reusable teams — make them once, use them in any game • Pin the games you're mid-way through • Archive finished games with their full history • Emoji or symbol icons for every game • Works fully offline. No account, no sign-up. Nashume is a native iOS app built with SwiftUI. No ads, no tracking, no subscription.
