Chip Runner is the poker chip counter for your home game. No more missing chips, bank math, or arguments over the pot. Just tap your chips, and Chip Runner keeps track of every stack, blind and bet. PLAY YOUR WAY • Everyone on their own phone: one person creates a table and friends join with a 5-character code. Each player sees only their own controls and cards. • One phone for the whole table: pass it around, and Chip Runner shows whose turn it is. OPTIONAL DIGITAL DEALER No cards handy? Turn on the digital dealer and it deals each hand on the phones. The flop, turn and river appear on every screen, and each player peeks at their own cards in private. Prefer real cards? Leave it off and just track the chips. BUILT FOR REAL HOME GAMES • Blinds, with optional level-ups as the night goes on • Side pots and split pots handled correctly, automatically • Choose your own starting stack, chip values and chip colors • Turn order that keeps everyone from acting out of turn • Set the seating order, and remove a player or leave the table any time • If the host's phone drops out, the next player takes over so the game keeps going • Closed the app or lost signal? Rejoin your seat right where you left off • Your screen stays awake during play • Works on iPhone and iPad SETTLE UP IN SECONDS When the night is over, Chip Runner shows final chip counts, who owes whom, and fun stats like the biggest pot and most raises. Share the results with the group and look back at past games in History. NO ACCOUNTS, NO FUSS No sign-up, no email, no password. Just a name and a table code. Chip Runner uses virtual chips only. It never handles real money, and it is not a gambling app. It's a scorekeeper for your friendly game. Free to download with occasional ads. A one-time purchase removes them for good, and if the host owns it, the whole table is ad-free.
