Tableside is the running tab for the games you already play with your friends. Card night, board-game night, the dice tournament at the cabin — pick a game, pull the players from your contacts, and start. Tableside takes it from there. HAND IT OFF — Leaving early? Hold your phone against a friend's and pass the whole game to them — every player, round, bid, the dealer and even the tournament bracket. They tap Accept and keep scoring from their phone. Works over Bluetooth or the same Wi-Fi, no internet needed. — Your phone keeps a read-only copy in History, so nobody's score counts twice. FREE. NO ADS. NO LIMITS. Every feature, every game, every player, forever. No subscription, no unlock, no "two games then pay". PICK A GAME — Spades, Hearts, Oh Hell, Gin Rummy, Bridge, Dominoes, Mahjong, Five Dice, Word Tiles, Bocce, Darts, or roll your own. — Save your own templates: name, target score, fixed rounds, category boxes. They live in the game picker next to the built-ins. STACK MODE AND SCORE MODE — STACK mode: each player has a running points stack. Tap +Add to top them up. At the end, enter their end count and Tableside computes who's up, who's down, and the fewest transfers to square everyone up. — SCORE mode: a clean round-by-round scoreboard. High score wins or low score wins, play to a target or a fixed number of rounds. — Five Dice comes with a full category sheet — score each box once, like paper. BIDS AND TRICKS, SCORED FOR YOU — Spades: bids, bags, nil bids and the ten-bag penalty. — Oh Hell: exact bids score 10 plus tricks. — Hearts: points taken, shooting the moon handled. — Enter the whole hand in one sheet; Tableside catches a hand that doesn't add up. THE DEAL MOVES ITSELF — The dealer chip travels round the table to the next seat after every round. Drag seats to match the real table; tap the chip to pass early. TOURNAMENTS — Single-elimination brackets for 3 to 16 players, seeded, byes handled, a champion screen at the end. — Round robins for 3 to 8: everyone plays everyone, live standings. — Every match is a normal game, so nothing new to learn. STATS THAT MATTER — Leaderboard, win streaks, head-to-head records, best and worst nights, win rate, game mix. — Seasons: reset the leaderboard from today without deleting a single game. — Game Center: weekly and all-time leaderboards for games kept, your longest game night, and eight achievements to unlock. APPLE WATCH — The live game on your wrist: totals, the dealer chip, the next bracket match. Add points, score a whole hand, or start a game from the watch. TABLE TOOLS — A who-goes-first spinner, a turn timer and dice, right in the app. YOUR DATA, EVERYWHERE YOU ARE — iCloud sync keeps iPhone and iPad on the same history, in your own private iCloud. — Export everything as a JSON backup or your games as a spreadsheet CSV; import a backup on a new phone. SHARE TO THE TABLE — Friends on the same Wi-Fi can watch your live game from their own phones. Only you can change it. — At the end, share a card with the standings — or plain text — to the group chat. NEVER MISS GAME NIGHT — Set your regular game night and Tableside gives you a nudge before it. Notifications are optional and you choose which ones. PRIVATE BY DESIGN — Everything stays on your devices and in your own iCloud. No account, no ads. The contacts picker hands us only the names you tap. Anonymous usage stats help us fix what breaks — turn them off anytime in Settings. Tableside is a scoreboard for in-person games. Use it for whatever counter you want — points, chips, cookies, beads.
