Match Log is the simplest way to record board game, MTG, and TCG sessions and turn them into clean, per-player win-rate stats. Log a play night once, and the app handles the math: who's actually winning, on which game, against whom. Built for game groups, playgroups, and tabletop regulars who are tired of using spreadsheets, notes apps, or scraps of paper. WHO IT'S FOR - Magic: The Gathering players tracking Commander / EDH pods, cube drafts, or kitchen-table matches - Pokemon TCG, Yu-Gi-Oh, Lorcana, and other card game players logging locals and casual play - Board game groups playing Catan, Dominion, Splendor, Wingspan, 7 Wonders, and more - Mahjong, chess, and any group that plays the same opponents repeatedly - Friend groups and families who want a long-term record of their game nights KEY FEATURES - Sessions group multiple matches from one play night - Six result formats, each with stats that actually fit: • 1v1 with scores • Ranked with scores • Ranked (placement only) • Single winner / free-for-all • Team vs team • Co-op (clear / fail) - Players, games, and groups with custom colors - All-time leaderboard across every game you play - Per-game leaderboards using format-aware metrics (win rate, 1st-place rate, average rank, total score, clear rate) - Player detail screen: head-to-head records, per-game breakdown, recent matches - Tag a session with anything you want stats for — expansions, player count, tournament — then filter every leaderboard by tag - Decks / characters tagged per player per session - A round-robin table for every session: who beat whom, with standings at a glance - Player icons: pick from 24 characters (meeples, dice, cards and more) or use a photo - Attach several photos and notes to a session, or snap photos with the camera mid-game - Export a session as a shareable image for group chats and social - Dark mode - Record books work offline on your device. Optional iCloud sync across your iPhone and iPad is free. - Share selected books after a one-time purchase by the owner: by invitation link or QR code, or by inviting one specific person. People you invite join free with editing or view-only access. WHY MATCH LOG Most "game tracker" apps assume one specific game or one rigid scoring system. Match Log lets a single group track everything they play — a Commander pod on Friday, a board game cafe trip on Saturday, a co-op campaign on Sunday — and still get meaningful stats for each one. No app-specific account required. iCloud sync and sharing require an Apple Account signed into iCloud. Open the app, tap "+ New", record the result, done. The stats catch up automatically.
