Deck Settle is the scorebook for a friend-group game night. One host runs Poker, Rummy, or Spades on their phone, and everyone else can follow along on theirs. Buy-ins, scores, and settlements stay in one ledger, so the table always knows who is ahead and who still needs to pay. This is bookkeeping for casual games among people you already know. It is not a casino, it does not take real-money bets, and it does not play cards for you. • Follow a game in progress: friends enter the game code, or open My Games with their player code, and see scores update as the host saves. • Buy-in alerts on iPhone: get notified when a buy-in is added or removed for you, when you leave the table, and when the game ends or is cancelled. • Hand off: pass a game in progress to another player so they can keep score. The results still land in the host's ledger, and the host can take it back anytime. • Ledger history: every game side by side in one table, with a frozen player column. • A fresh look for every game screen. POKER Add players, tap buy-ins as chips go out, and record players who leave and rejoin. At the end, enter what each person took back. The app will not close the night until returns balance. Choose Settle Now to pay up at the table, or Settle Later to carry amounts into the ledger. RUMMY Enter each round with drops and full counts, and keep the standings against the score limit. Eliminated and compulsory players stay visible so the next deal is obvious. SPADES Enter bids, then tricks won, round by round with the group's usual scoring. Totals and the round count stay on screen. LEDGER See who receives and who pays for one night or a longer stretch. Use a settlement matrix or a short pay list, and mark people paid when cash actually moves. MY GAMES Load your player code to see the games you are in right now, plus monthly and lifetime totals and your ledger periods. SHARE AND BACKUP Games live on the host phone. Share a code so another phone can pull the same scores, or restore everything onto a new phone. Lock deletes with a code so no one can erase games on any phone. NO ACCOUNTS No sign-up and no login. Contacts are used only on your phone to add players by name, and are never required.
