The Scorekeeper is the score-tracking app you have been looking for. Clean, fast, and beautifully designed — it works for any game you play. Cards, dice, board games, sports, pub quizzes, golf — if you keep score, this is your app. WHY THE SCOREKEEPER IS DIFFERENT Most scorekeeper apps are clunky, cluttered, or buried in features you never use. The Scorekeeper strips everything back to what matters: a clear view of every player's score, instant updates, and a history that is always there when you need it. TWO SCORING MODES — YOUR CHOICE Normal mode lets you type in point totals with a built-in numeric keypad. Perfect for games where you tally up a round total: Rummy, Ticket to Ride, Catan, Golf, Yahtzee, and hundreds more. One point at a time lets you tap + once per point scored. Ideal for darts, bowling, pub quizzes, or anything you count one point at a time. Pick the mode that fits your game when you create it — and get started in seconds. BEAUTIFUL PLAYER COLORS Create your regular players once and reuse them across every game. Give each player a name and pick a color from 25 vibrant options. Their color runs through the entire game — column headers, score rows, player tags — so you always know at a glance exactly who is winning and by how much. 20 HAND-CRAFTED GAME ICONS Choose from 20 beautiful icons when you create a game: cards, dice, chess, trophy, crown, puzzle, gem, domino, target, and more. Your game list will finally look as good as the games themselves. EVERYTHING SAVES AUTOMATICALLY Walk away. Put your phone in your pocket. Switch apps. The Scorekeeper saves every point automatically to your device. Your games are always right there when you come back, sorted by most recent. No tapping Save, no cloud sync, no waiting. EDIT AND FIX SCORES INSTANTLY Mistyped a score? Tap any entry in the score list to edit or delete it. Your entire point history is fully editable, so a single wrong number will never ruin a game. POWERFUL GAME MANAGEMENT A clean game list shows all your active games with icons and player colors at a glance. A three-dot menu on any game lets you reset all points, rename the game, swap its icon, add or remove players from an ongoing game, or delete it entirely. You can play multiple rounds of the same game. NO ACCOUNT. NO INTERNET. NO NONSENSE. All data is stored privately on your device. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to pay, and nothing tracking you in the background. Launch the app and start scoring. That is it. Whether it is family game night, a tournament with friends, a lazy afternoon of cards, or a competitive round of golf — The Scorekeeper is ready in seconds and out of your way the rest of the time. It is not just a great scorekeeper app. It is the only one you will ever need. Download it today.
