Chalky is a darts discovery app to help you find dartboard locations near you. It has a scoreboard built in to score a casual game of Cricket, 301, or 501. It has a quick tournament feature to make it easy to set up a casual tournament for 4-16 people. FIND A BOARD Stop calling around to see who has a board. Chalky maps dart venues near you, and a verified-only filter hides anything that hasn't been confirmed yet. Save your regular spots to Favorites, add a board that's missing, or post an update with a photo when a bar changes its setup. SCORE FIRST. SIGN IN LATER. Open Chalky and start keeping score right away. No account, no setup, no ads. Cricket, 301, and 501 all run on your phone and keep working when the bar Wi-Fi doesn't. CRICKET, 301 AND 501 • Cricket scoring for 15-20 and the bull, with clean marks you can read across the room • 301 and 501 with straight-in, double-out rules • Doubles and triples show as dots under the number — no sliding labels to fight with • Lifetime stats: matches, wins, win percentage, and marks per round TOURNAMENTS AT THE BAR Run a bracket without paper. Players claim a seat by scanning a QR code or typing a short code, and the host gets an alert as results come in. Cricket, 301, and 501 are all supported. LEAGUES, FRIENDS AND HISTORY Add friends with invite codes, keep league nights organized, and hold on to a full match history so there's no argument about who won last week. MAKE THE BIG MOMENTS YOURS Attach your own photos to a big turn, a big lead, or a match win, and choose whether they fire in every game or only in Cricket or 301/501. PRIVACY Keep Score works with no account at all. Sign in only if you want cloud history, friends, tournaments, or bar reviews. Chalky doesn't sell your information and doesn't use advertising trackers.
