Best board game tracker apps, 2026

If you host game night, two separate jobs need solving: keeping a running record of what you've played and who won over time, and just keeping score at the table tonight. Playtally is the logbook for the first, cataloging your shelf and tracking every play, score, and win-rate entirely on your phone with no account and no BGG sync, plus a "what should we play?" decider that filters your collection by how many players are seated and how long you've got. Tableside handles the live job: pick a game, pull players from your Contacts, and keep score in either a running-stack or round-by-round mode. Both skip the subscriptions and logins that clutter the rest of this category.

FAQ

Are these board game apps free? ▾

Tableside is free on the App Store with no ads, no subscription, and no in-app-purchase gates. Playtally also runs without any account or login and shows no ads.

Do they work offline? ▾

Yes. Playtally runs entirely on your phone with no internet required and no account, so your collection and play history stay on-device. Tableside keeps score locally and pulls players through Apple's Contacts picker without reading your full address book.

Do I need a BoardGameGeek (BGG) account to use them? ▾

No. Playtally is built to work without any BGG login or sync, unlike trackers that depend on a BGG account. You catalog your own games directly in the app.
