About Life Counter Magic - MTG
Life Counter is a polished, fast multiplayer life-tracker for Magic: The Gathering. Tap to gain or lose life, swipe to switch counters, hold to fast-adjust. Three gestures and you've got it. Up to six players at one table. No setup, no account required. Built by a Magic player. Designed for the kitchen table, the FNM, and the prerelease. WHAT'S INSIDE • 1–6 players, every format. One-tap presets configure the board for Standard / Pioneer / Modern (20 life), Commander / EDH (40), Brawl (25), or Two-Headed Giant (30 shared). Mid-match-safe. A confirm dialog stops accidental resets. • Every counter on tap. Life, Poison, Energy, Experience, Loyalty, Charge. Plus the Magic-2026 set: Speed, Ring, Storm, Dungeon. Hide what you don't use. • Game-state pills. Initiative (Battle for Baldur's Gate), Monarch (multiplayer Commander), Day & Night (Innistrad). One tap passes them. No more paper tokens. • Match history that writes itself. Date, duration, decks, winner. Every match auto-saves. Bookmark your favourites. Cloud-synced once you sign in. • Sign in once, play anywhere. Apple, Google, or email. Match history syncs across iPhone and iPad. • Roll a die. D6 for who-goes-first, d20 for everything else. Tap the brand-pink dice in the centre of the board. • Polished for OLED. True-black dark mode, tabular numerals, haptic feedback on every tap. IOS 18 dynamic icons (Light, Dark, Tinted). • Six languages. English, Deutsch, Español, Nederlands, 日本語, 中文. WHY LIFE COUNTER You don't want to look at your phone during a game. You want to glance, tap, look back at the board. Every gesture is sized for that. Big tap targets, no menus to navigate, no shouting "wait, what's my life again?" The match timer runs in the background. The screen stays awake while you play. When the match ends, everything is recorded. So the morning after, you can see who lethal-ed whom on turn seven. CLOUD BACKUP. OPTIONAL Sign in once and your matches, settings and player profiles sync across all your iPhones and iPads. The app works perfectly without an account too. Sign-in is for sync, not gating. PRICING Life Counter is free. Watch a short ad to earn 10 extra match-history slots, up to four times per day. Or unlock Werbefrei (ad-free, lifetime) once and forget about it. No subscriptions, ever. PRIVACY Your matches and settings never leave your device unless you sign in for cloud sync. No analytics on game data. Authentication via Firebase. Crash reports via Crashlytics, anonymous.
