A beautiful, minimalist MTG counter for 1-4 players with a clean interface, deep customization, and built-in dice rolling.
Battle-tested for over 12 years, Mutility is a refined Magic: The Gathering life counter for up to 4 players. Designed for use on the tabletop, it pairs easy-to-tap controls with big, easy-to-read life totals so you can focus on the game - not the screen. Enjoy its basic features for free, and a single in-app purchase unlocks all other features, forever.
The full feature list:
• Life totals: tap the left side to decrease, the right to increase, or tap and hold to run continuously
• Dice: beautifully animated rolls, with an option to skip ties so you don’t keep re-rolling
• Seat layouts: arrange players so everyone reads their own total right-side up
• Names and colors: name every player and give each one their own color
• History: an editable record of every life and counter change, and when it happened. Use it to settle disputes and fix mistakes
• Starting life: 20, 30, 40, or any total you set
• More counters: track poison, energy, wins, or Commander damage alongside life
• Game timer: one shortcut starts a fresh game and resets the clock together
• Advanced controls: set the tap-and-hold life increment, enable two-finger tap for lifelink and extort in two-player games, and more
• VoiceOver and Voice Control: spoken labels for every life total, counter, and history entry, plus voice actions to adjust life and counters without touching the screen
• Siri: roll the dice, start a new game, reset the counters, or show the history without touching the screen
Available in 26 languages, including Japanese, Korean, Thai, and both Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
I've been using this app for about a year, and I believe that it is the best life counter app available on this platform. This app works for two, three, and four players, and the dice roller is a quick way to determine who goes first.The in-app purchase isn't necessary, but it does add many features for customization. Particularly, the sub-counter option is great for counting infect counters or commander damage if you are playing EDH. Unfortunately, it looks like only one sub-counter can be used at a time (so you can't track commander damage from multiple players, for instance). Custom counter coloring and name settings make it very clear whose life is whose. It is very easy to make contact with the app creator.If I had suggestions for improvement, they would be mostly for offering 5+ player support and simultaneous sub-counters. Maybe some more freedom with color selection too (like custom colors from a color wheel/hue instead of from a pre-selected list).
Best life counter
GoldenFlyerTCG
My friends all have different life counters, but this one is the best of the lot. Some have even switched from theirs to this one. The colors are easiest to read here, dice rolling is an amazing feature, the secondary counters are great. The only thing I can realistically think of to improve would be having multiple alt trackers for each player. Even just one more (total of two mini trackers per player) would be awesome.
Must-Have App for any MTG player

This app has it all: track your life, manage counters (energy, poison, etc.), and see your game history. It will allow you to spend less time tracking, and more time strategizing. It's perfect for 1v1 as well as Commander. The developer is also very friendly and responsive. They were quick to fix a bug I had discovered upon emailing. Get this app and you won't be disappointed.
Changed my life

This app literally changed my life. I can now count my life so much better than before. It’s the difference between having to hunt for all of your food and enjoying a grocery store. The developer is amazing and there’s literally no bugs at all. The only thing I’d want is airplay support and possibly AR features, so you can see life in real life, possible tap on camera view to take life? Amazing well made
Minor bug fixes.
If you like using Mutility, please consider reviewing it in the App Store. It really helps!
