Keep score for any game — then keep the score. Cards, board games, trivia night, backyard tournaments. Set up a scorecard in seconds, and when the game ends, ScoreKeep Pro remembers it. That is the part a paper scorepad has never managed. SET UP IN SECONDS Pick the number of rounds, name them whatever the game calls them — Deal 1, Front Nine, Bid — and start playing. Up to 12 players and 30 rounds. Playing something where the lowest score wins? One toggle. A LEADERBOARD THAT KEEPS UP Standings update as you type, so nobody has to add up a column mid-game, and nobody has to trust the person who is winning to do the arithmetic. GAME HISTORY Every finished game is saved: who played, every round, the final scores, and who won. Search by player or by game, filter to one kind of game, and open any scorecard again months later. RECORDS AND HEAD-TO-HEAD Wins, win rate, current and best streak, and averages per game. Then the interesting part: a head-to-head table for everyone you play against. Who actually wins most is no longer a matter of opinion. YOUR PLAYERS, SAVED Keep the people you play with on a roster, so their names are one tap instead of retyped every session — and so their records follow them from game to game. Someone joining for one night can play as a one-off without cluttering the roster. Played a few games before saving someone? Link them to those games afterwards and their record catches up. TEMPLATES FOR THE GAMES YOU PLAY OFTEN Save a setup — rounds, names, scoring direction, and the usual lineup — and start the next night from it. Edit, duplicate, or rename them as your house rules change. SHARE THE SCORECARD Send the final scorecard to the group chat as an image, or export it as a CSV to do your own damage in a spreadsheet. PUT IT DOWN, PICK IT UP Finish later saves the game you are in the middle of, and it is waiting on the Home screen when you come back. Nothing is lost if your phone dies mid-round. WORKS ANYWHERE No connection needed, ever. The kitchen table, the back of a cabin, a plane. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-in. No ads. No tracking, and no third-party code of any kind. Everything you enter stays on your device. Free, with no subscriptions and no paywalls.

About

Pair for Two

Read full description

Pair for Two is cribbage the way it’s meant to be played — face to face, but on two phones. Each player holds their own hand on their own device, so nobody peeks. Deal, cut, peg, and count your way to 121. TWO PHONES, ONE TABLE Every player gets their own screen and their own private hand. Sit across from a friend and play a real game of cribbage — your cards stay yours. PLAY NEARBY OR ONLINE • Nearby: connect two phones directly over Bluetooth and peer-to-peer Wi-Fi. No internet, no accounts, no sign-in. • Online: invite a friend through Game Center and play from anywhere. JUST KEEPING SCORE? Playing with real cards? Tap Scoreboard and lay the device between you. There's a slider at each end, so you add your own points, and the score in the middle turns to face whoever just pegged — readable from both sides of the table, on a phone or an iPad. A REAL CUT FOR THE STARTER Just like at the kitchen table: the non-dealer taps the deck to cut it, and the dealer turns up the starter card. Little rituals, done right. SCORE YOUR WAY Pick the style that fits your table: • Automatic — the app counts and pegs every point for you. • Player responsibility — no hints. Count it yourself, just like the real thing. This is how new games start. You’re nudged when it matters — when a “Go” passes to you, or when someone hits 31 — so nobody misses a point. YOUR RECORD Every game is kept: wins, streaks, skunks, your best hand and time played. Game Center adds achievements — the perfect 29, a comeback from 30 behind, five in a row — and a lifetime wins leaderboard. BUILT TO FEEL GREAT • Rich haptics and sound for every card, cut, deal, and win. • A proper skunk (and double-skunk!) celebration. • Clean, legible cards that scale beautifully from iPhone to iPad. • Landscape play designed for two people sitting across a table. DROP-IN, DROP-OUT Step away and come back — games reconnect quickly, and you can rejoin an interrupted match right where you left off. Whether you’re teaching a beginner with automatic scoring or keeping it honest with manual counting, Pair for Two brings the classic two-hand game to the two phones already in your pockets.
