501 double out, 301 double out, 301 single out and Around the Clock. Every game is played as "first to X legs"; you pick X on the setup screen. You can play alone, with up to 30 players, or 2 vs 2.

In double out the last dart must land in a double (the outer ring or the bullseye) and leave exactly zero. Leaving 1, going below zero, or hitting zero with a single or triple is a bust: the score stays as it was before the turn. In single out any dart that brings the score to exactly zero wins the leg; only going below zero is a bust.

Hit 1, then 2, and so on up to 20, then the bull. A single on your number moves you to the next one, a double skips one number (D5 takes you from 5 to 7) and a triple skips two (T5 takes you to 8). Skipping past 20 puts you on the bull, where the outer or inner bull wins the leg.

Tap the board where the dart landed. The dark ring around the numbers records a miss. Each dart appears in a slot below the board with a delete button; after three darts (or a bust or a checkout) you approve the turn or clear it and enter it again. Approving hands the board to the next player. Every turn of the current leg is listed below the standings; the × on the newest entry takes it back: the score is restored, that player is on again and the darts return to the slots for correction. Repeat it to rewind turn by turn, even after a leg has been won.

Whenever the remaining score is 170 or less and can still be finished with the darts left in your hand, a suggested route is shown under the board. It follows the common checkout table for double out and is recalculated after every dart. Numbers such as 169, 168, 166, 165, 163, 162 and 159 cannot be finished with three darts, so no hint appears for them.

Four players form two teams. Each team shares one score, and teammates throw alternately: player 1 of team 1, player 1 of team 2, player 2 of team 1, and so on. Personal stats are still recorded per player, and a leg or game win counts for both members of the team.

Open "Tournament" from the main menu, choose the game, set the number of players (2 to 32) and enter their names. Tick "Seeded" next to a player to move them to the top of the list; drag seeded players to change their seeding order. Seeded players are placed in the bracket in that order and receive the byes when the field is not a power of two; everyone else is drawn at random. Enter how many dartboards you have: that many matches can run at the same time. The tournament is single elimination: tap a match in the bracket to play it on this device, to show its QR code or to watch it live. When the first match of a round starts you are asked how many legs win a match in that round, preset to the previous round's value (or 1), so the first round can be "first to 1" and the final "first to 6". The "Boards" tab shows which match is on which board and which matches are open next. Rounds can be folded to keep the tree readable. A tournament has its own stats page, and once it is over you can play it again with the same players and settings.

Yes. Share the tournament by QR code first. Every open match (one that can start because a board is free) then shows its own QR code: on the "Boards" tab, on the match itself and on the shared live view. Whoever scans it gets the scoreboard for exactly that match on their phone and referees it there: the darts are counted on that phone, the bracket shows the match live, and when it is over the result and every turn land in the bracket by themselves. Each match can be claimed by one phone only. If that phone disappears, open the match on the organiser's device and take it back; it then becomes open again.

Yes. In the tournament, tap the share button and choose "Share by QR code". Scanning the code (or opening the link) shows the live bracket, and it updates by itself. Tap a match on it to watch that board live: scores, legs, the darts of the current turn and the last turns. Sharing is the only time data leaves your device: the bracket and its games are sent to this site under a random link (and phones that referee matches send their game of that match), and everything is deleted when you stop sharing or 30 days after the last update. You can also export the tournament as a file at any time and import it on another device (or on this one) to resume it, games and stats included. The same dialog offers the bracket as a PDF (A4 landscape) that you can print; empty slots have lines so it can be filled in with a pen.

Yes. During a game, open the menu (☰) and choose "Share live scores", then "Share by QR code". Scanning the code (or opening the link) shows a passive scoreboard: scores, legs, the thrower, the darts of the current turn, the checkout hint and the last turns, updating by itself. The link follows the games on this device, so a rematch or the next game appears on it too, until you stop sharing. The game (player names and every dart thrown) is sent to this site under a random link while sharing is on, and is deleted when you stop sharing or 30 days after the last update.

3-dart average: points scored divided by darts thrown, times three; busted turns score zero but their darts still count. First 3 darts: the average score of each player's first turn in a leg. 1st dart average: the average points of the first dart of every turn. Highest finish: the largest score checked out in a single turn. 180s: the number of turns scoring the maximum 180; 140+ and 100+ count the turns of 140 to 179 and 100 to 139 points. T20, T19, Bull and D-Bull count the darts that hit the treble 20, the treble 19, the outer bull (25) and the inner bull (50); a hit counts even when the turn was a bust. Best leg: the fewest darts used to win a leg. Around the Clock only contributes to darts thrown, legs and games. "Today" on the stats screen covers every turn thrown on this device since midnight.

"History" in the main menu lists the last ten games played on this device with the result, the averages, the finishes and the 180/140+/100+, T20, T19 and bull counts of every player, and every turn on request. "CSV" downloads those games as a spreadsheet file with one line per player and game. Every game stays in the archive on the device and counts towards the statistics.

On this device only, in the browser's local storage. Nothing is sent to a server unless you share a tournament bracket or the live scores of a game (see above). Clearing the browser data, or uninstalling the app, deletes the roster and all statistics. To remove a single player, open the roster from "Edit names" on the setup screen or use the delete button on the stats screen; that removes their turns from the archive as well.

Yes. On Android, open the browser menu and choose "Add to Home screen" or "Install app". On iPhone and iPad, tap the share button in Safari and choose "Add to Home Screen". The app then opens full screen and also works without a network connection.

Yes. The colour scheme follows the system setting of your device: switch your phone to dark mode and the app changes with it.
