What Playtally: Board Game Log does

Playtally is the board game logbook that lives entirely on your phone. Catalog your shelf, log every game night with players, scores and the winner, and watch your stats build over time. No account. No login. No ads. No internet required.

Stuck on what to play? Tell Playtally how many people are at the table and how long you've got, and it filters your collection to the games that actually fit the night.

FEATURES - Collection catalog: add games with player count, play time, weight, and a custom cover color - One-tap play logging: pick a game, add players, enter scores, crown the winner - Stats that matter: win rates per player, most-played games, total hours, plays-per-month - "What should we play?" decider: filter by player count, time available, and complexity - Play streaks: see your current and longest game-night streak - Loaned-out tracker: know who borrowed which game and when - Wishlist: keep a running list of games you want next - Fully offline & private: every play stays on your device, forever

Whether you have 5 games or 500, Playtally turns your shelf into a story. Download free and start logging tonight.

What's inside

  • Collection catalog — Add games manually with name, player-count range, play time, complexity weight (1-5) and a custom cover color/initial tile; browse, search and sort the shelf.
  • One-tap play logging — Pick a game, add the players at the table, enter each player's score, and tap to crown the winner. Logs date and duration.
  • Stats dashboard — Per-player win rates, most-played games, total plays, total hours, and a plays-per-month chart built from logged sessions.
  • What should we play? — Enter how many players and how many minutes you have (and optional max weight); Playtally filters the collection to games that fit and suggests one.
  • Play streaks — Tracks current and longest consecutive-week game-night streak to gamify regular play.
  • Loaned-out tracker — Mark a game as loaned to a named person with a date; a badge on the shelf shows what's out and a list shows everything currently lent.

Why we built it

Hobbyists can't easily track their collection and play history without either an unloved, ad-laden BGG account app that needs a login and network, or a power-user paid app whose value is tied to BGG syncing. There's no clean, offline, no-account native logbook.

What makes it different

Playtally logs your collection, plays, scores and win-rates with a built-in 'what should we play?' decider entirely offline with no account and no BGG dependency, while the top competitors all require either a BGG login/network (official BGG app) or position BGG sync as their core value (BG Stats).

Who it's for

Built for anyone who values fast, private, on-device software with a calm, focused UX.
