Quick answer
Score Keeper is a free online counter that runs in your web browser. Open the page, then tap the screen or press the space bar once for each item to keep a running total while board game scoring. The number is saved on your device, so it survives a reload or a closed tab, and it works with no internet connection once the page has loaded.
- Definition: Score Keeper
- A score keeper is a counting tool for board game scoring, card game point tracking and sports match scoring. You tap once per item and the tool keeps the total, so you do not have to hold the number in your head.

About the Score Keeper
Keeping score is really keeping two or more counts in sync, which is why a single clicker never quite works for it. Running a counter per side and switching between them keeps both totals visible and removes the arguments that come from a scribbled sheet. It suits the games where nobody wants to appoint a scorer: darts, table tennis, card games, backyard cricket, quiz nights. Everything saves, so a match interrupted by dinner resumes at the right score..

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I track scores for multiple teams?
Create a counter for each team in Settings. Name them 'Team A', 'Team B', etc. Switch between counters to update each team's score.
Can I subtract points for penalties?
Yes! Use the minus button to deduct points when needed. Perfect for games with penalty rules or when you need to correct a mistake.
Is there a winning score limit I can set?
Yes! Set a maximum limit in Settings. When a team reaches the winning score, you'll see they've hit the limit. Great for games that play to a set number.
Can I use this as a visible scoreboard?
Absolutely! The large number display is designed to be visible from a distance. Prop up a tablet or connect to a TV screen for everyone to see.
