About

Paper Backgammon Scoreboard

Features
Read full description

A minimal scoreboard for in-person backgammon matches. Designed to do one thing well: track the match score with Crawford rule support, and nothing else. No player names, no timers, no doubling cube. If it wouldn't be on a paper scoreboard, it isn't here. It's for casual play across the board, not tournament clock-and-clipboard duty. FEATURES • Two score panels, tap either side to add a point • Flip-chart animation, scores animate with a physical flip-card effect, rotating around the coil axis • Score correction: long-press a panel to decrease a score by one (confirmation required) • Match length: tap the center when scores are 0–0 to cycle forward (3, 5, 7 … 21); long-press to cycle backward • New match: tap or long-press the center while a match is in progress to reset scores • Crawford rule automatically detected and displayed; transitions to Post-Crawford after the following game • Match over alert shown when a player reaches the target score • State persistence: your match is silently restored when reopened • Screen always on: the display stays awake while the app is open • Haptic feedback: taps, corrections, and match events have distinct feedback • Light and dark themes, following the system appearance by default; override in iOS Settings • Accessibility: VoiceOver labels and roles on all interactive elements • iPhone, landscape-only PRIVACY This app collects no data, makes no network requests, and uses no analytics or tracking.
