Read full description

Fork is an intuitive tournament bracket manager that makes it easy to create, track, and share single-elimination tournaments. QUICK BRACKET SETUP Create tournament brackets for 4 to 32 participants with automatic seeding. The system intelligently places top seeds on opposite sides of the bracket, ensuring the strongest competitors don't meet in the early rounds. Byes are handled automatically when participant counts aren't a power of two. DUAL SCORING MODES Choose between Score Mode for matches that need precise point tracking, or Win/Loss Mode for quick winner selection. A slide-to-confirm mechanism prevents accidental result entries, keeping every match outcome accurate. VISUAL BRACKET DISPLAY See your entire tournament at a glance with a full bracket visualization. Clear advancement paths show who's moving forward in each round. Pinch to zoom and pan across the bracket on iPhone and iPad. When a champion is crowned, a trophy icon marks the moment. CUSTOM THEMES Three built-in themes β€” Dark Night, Classic Light, and Neon Gaming β€” plus full color customization with seven adjustable properties. Add your own background image and tournament logo (with circular crop) to create a unique look for every event. HIGH-RES EXPORT Export your complete bracket as a 3x resolution PNG image. Save it to your photo library or share it instantly through the system share sheet. iCLOUD SYNC Your tournaments sync automatically across devices via CloudKit. Create a bracket on your iPhone, then follow the action on your iPad or Apple TV's big screen. Whether it's a sports event, esports competition, school tournament, or a friendly game night β€” Fork has you covered for every elimination bracket!
