MahWins is a game and score tracker for American Mahjong. It records the games your group plays so you can look back later and see who won what hand, and if your table plays for points, it does the math for you. Logging a win takes just a few taps. ▸ HOW LOGGING WORKS Pick the winner, tap the line they won on, mark self draw or off a discard, and you're done. Playing another hand with the same table? One tap brings back the same players. People you play with often show up as quick chips, including guests who don't have the app. You can add a photo of the tiles or a quick note if you want. ▸ SCORING AND SEASONS If your group plays for points, turn on score tracking. Every game is totaled automatically: base points for the hand, self draw and jokerless bonuses, penalties, all of it. The group leaderboard updates itself, so there's never a question about who's ahead. Run it in seasons: crown a champion, keep every past season on the board, and start the next one fresh. Groups that play just for fun can leave scoring off and never see it. ▸ TWO-PLAYER MODE Only two people tonight? Still counts. Two-Player Mode logs the game with both of the winner's hands recorded. ▸ PHOTOS AND WIN CARDS Snap a photo of the winning tiles and it saves with the game. Photos from your group pile up in a shared feed you can scroll through later, and any photo can be saved to your phone. You can also turn a win into a card to share with people who weren't at the table. ▸ STATS Stats build up the more you log. Win rate per player, who beats whom, the hands that come up most for each person, your best section, and how much of the card you've won across. Tap any player to see their full record. After a few months you have the kind of records people used to keep on a legal pad. ▸ GROUPS AND FRIENDS Make a group for your weekly crew. Members see the shared history and can comment on individual games. New people can join by scanning a QR code or tapping a shared link. You can also add friends one on one outside of a group. There's a privacy setting per user that controls who sees your stats. ▸ NOTIFICATIONS Push notifications are kept simple. You get one when a friend logs a win, when you're invited to a group, or when you're tagged in a game someone else logged. ▸ PRIVACY No analytics. No crash reporters. No ads. We don't sell your data and we don't use it to train AI. We don't track you across other apps. Sign in with Apple and Sign in with Google both work. Apple Private Relay is supported. You can delete your account anytime from Settings. ▸ WHO IT'S FOR MahWins is built for people who play American Mahjong in person, whether your table plays for points or just for bragging rights. If that's you, give it a try. Have feedback? support@mahwins.com. We read every message.
