Tallygate

Game night, kept in pencil.

Tallygate is the scorepad for game night. Tap a name for a point and watch the tally marks go up, or write in everyone’s score after each round. It adds it all up, stars whoever’s in front and circles the winner when the game is done.

Tom’s one off a gate. Go on, give him a point.

Tap a column to pencil in a point. Five make a gate. Keyboard: the right arrow adds a point, the left arrow rubs one out.

Two ways to keep score

Pick one when you start a sheet. Either way, Tallygate does the adding up.

Mode one

Tally marks

Tap a player’s column for each point. The strokes go up four at a time and the fifth slashes across them, like a real five-bar gate. Tap the eraser to take one off.

Quizzes, darts, charades… anything you count.

Tallygate’s tally sheet for a game of Uno: Ana, Tom, Priya and Leo at the top in their own colours, tally marks in five-bar gates under each name, and the totals 10, 4, 10 and 2 at the bottom.

Mode two

Round by round

A number pad on paper keys goes round the table one player at a time, then writes the round in. Put down a 3 that should have been an 8? Tap the old score and fix it.

A Hearts sheet after three rounds. Lowest score wins, so Ana is in front with 12.

Tallygate’s round-by-round sheet for Hearts with the number pad open: paper keys from 0 to 9, and Priya’s score for round 6 being written in before it moves on to Sam.

The end

And then somebody wins

Whoever’s in front gets a gold star while you play. When the game ends, the winner’s name is circled in pencil, and a rematch with the same players is one tap away.

Priya wins!

A finished game of Hearts in Tallygate: “Priya wins!” written across the top in green pencil, her name circled, Rematch and Keep scoring buttons, and every round’s scores with the totals underneath.

Made for real games

The house rules people actually play by are built in.

  1. Lowest score wins

    For golf, Hearts and the like, where less is more.

  2. Play to a score

    The sheet finishes itself when someone gets there. In a lowest-wins game, the target is where it stops.

  3. Who goes first?

    A pencil spins on a paper disc and stops on someone. No arguing.

  4. Undo

    Take back the last point, or the last round.

  5. Rematch

    Same players, a fresh sheet, one tap.

  6. A pencil each

    Everyone keeps their own coloured pencil from game to game, up to eight at the table.

  7. Export to CSV

    Every sheet as one CSV file, handed to whichever app you pick from Android’s share sheet. Spreadsheet people, this one’s for you.

  8. Daylight or Lamplight

    Green felt for the kitchen table, a darker one for late games, or follow your phone.

8 house rules. 0 ads. 0 sign-ins.

Daylight felt, or Lamplight

Two tables to play on. Pick one in settings, or let Tallygate follow your phone.

Yours, on your phone

The scores are your business. Tallygate keeps them in one small file on your phone and doesn’t send them anywhere.

  • No account and no sign-in.
  • No ads, no analytics, no tracking.
  • No internet at all. Tallygate doesn’t even have permission to go online.
  • If you use Android’s own backup, your sheets can come along to your next phone.
