About

Tabletally

Read full description

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. OWN IT No account. No ads. Records live on the device, in the owner's hands. Enter game details manually or, with Pro, import a collection CSV you select. This does not connect to an online collection. Existing saved game facts remain available. Tabletally ships no official score sheets, no game artwork, and no rules content; score pads are the user's own personal creations. Pro is one purchase group: - Lifetime: one-time purchase, no automatic renewal. - Yearly subscription, with an introductory free trial only when Apple confirms eligibility. The app shows the current price, offer and renewal terms. Existing monthly subscribers keep access while their verified subscription remains active. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in App Store account settings. Prices in US dollars; other regions may vary. Privacy Policy: https://app-legal-pages.vercel.app/tabletally/privacy Terms of Service: https://app-legal-pages.vercel.app/tabletally/terms
