Chouetty is a backgammon score keeper and scoring app - chouette, 1v1 matches, and money games alike. It's built around chouette's demands (box and captain rotation, individual stakes, settlement math) but works just as well for a straight head-to-head match. Track exactly what a session actually needs: - Box and captain rotation, with smart suggestions for who's up next based on the last game - Individual stakes - give every player their own $/point rate, or use one flat rate for the table - Doubling cube tracking - who holds it, and automatic doubles recorded on back-to-back opening rolls - Automatic settlement math, including proper stake-capping between the box and each opponent - A running ledger of every round, with notes for anything worth remembering ("started on a 2 cube") - Mid-session settlements for settling out cubes without waiting for the night to end - 1v1 Match Mode - race to 5, 7, 13, or any target you set, with the Crawford rule applied automatically, or play an unlimited head-to-head money match with no target score - A Big Display view - flip the phone to landscape and put a large, table-facing scoreboard in the middle of the game - Player stats - win/loss records and history across every match and chouette - One-tap PDF results you can email or share the moment the game wraps up - Complete backup and restore - move your roster and history to a new phone, or hand it to a friend setting up their own copy - Built in 12 languages, including full right-to-left support for Arabic, Persian, and Hebrew No account required, no ads, no internet connection needed — Chouetty works entirely offline, the way these games usually get played: at a table, with real dice. Chouetty is free to use, with a limited number of free rounds per session. Chouetty Pro is an optional subscription for unlimited rounds in every chouette and match. Chouetty is a scorekeeping tool. It doesn't process payments, place bets, or determine any game outcome - it simply totals the numbers from a game already being played on a physical board, the same way a bill-splitting app tracks who owes what.

Stop passing around a crumpled score sheet. Razzle Dazzle Backgammon is the definitive chouette scorekeeping app -- purpose-built for multiplayer backgammon sessions. LIVE SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Create a room code and every player joins instantly. Cube decisions, scores, and box rotation update in real time on every device at the table. No more "wait, whose cube is it?" FULL CUBE TRACKING Offer, take, drop, beaver, raccoon, and settle from the cube or player controls. Per-player cube states so nothing gets lost in a fast-moving chouette. TAKE A BREAK, KEEP YOUR BALANCE Freeze a player's participation before play starts without settling up. They can sit out multiple games and return at the back of the rotation. A return during play takes effect next game. AUTOMATIC BOX ROTATION The app manages who's in the box, who rotates in, and how scores flow after each game. You focus on playing. YOUR HOUSE RULES, YOUR WAY Configure your session exactly how your group plays: - Jacoby rule - Beavers and raccoons - Auto doubles FIX A MISTAKE WITHOUT STARTING OVER Name a scorekeeper when the game starts, and a deputy if you want a second pair of hands. They can void a single game or adjust one player's total without disturbing the rest of the sheet -- no more ending the session and rescoring from memory. Everyone else keeps playing their own cube as normal. STAKES AND SETTLING UP Set your group's stake per point and follow current-game points in the LIVE row. Record actual payments by choosing who paid whom and how many points were paid, including partial payments while players stay in the game. Suggested payments help square the table at the end. You settle up between yourselves; the app never handles money. LIFETIME STATS Track performance over time with head-to-head records against every opponent, kept on your device. See who is up and who is down -- and by how much. PUSH NOTIFICATIONS Get notified when it's time for your cube decision. Stay in the loop even if you step away from the table. ACCOUNTS & SIGN-IN Optional. Sign in with an email and password -- or a one-tap email link -- to carry your display name and alert preferences to every device you play from, claim your seat in a live game, and receive push alerts. Everything except push works signed out. Lifetime stats are kept on the device that scored the games. Built for serious chouette players who want accurate scoring without the hassle. Download it, create a room, and play. razzledazzlebg.com
