About TableChips

TableChips replaces the chips at a real card game, played with a real deck. One phone hosts the table over its own hotspot; everybody else scans a code and plays from their browser, iPhone or Android. Nobody needs the internet, an account or to install anything.

It keeps the chips and nothing else: it never deals cards. You shuffle, you deal, you play as you always have, and the app counts.

Games

7½ (set i mig) and blackjack , with a bank: everybody stakes against it and the bank settles each hand from the table.

Poker : a moving button, blinds, call amounts and side pots.

Manual mode for any other game: pots, bets and payouts by hand.

Why this one

Guests install nothing. The host serves a web page; an iPhone and an Android at the same table both just open a browser. Anyone with the app can join through it instead.

No internet, ever. Everything runs on the host's hotspot: it works in a mountain hut, a campsite or a village without signal.

Up to ten players , each on their own device, each with their stack in figures big enough to read across the table.

Unlimited undo and a full log of every move. You can always type the amount.

Built for a long night: phones reconnect, seats can be recovered, and the table survives the host app being closed.

Catalan, Spanish and English from the first screen.

TableChips counts chips. It has no money, no payments and no accounts: what a chip is worth is up to the people at the table.

Free software under the GPLv3. No ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking.

What's new in 0.1.4

Bug fixes: - show the hotspot address as soon as it comes up - show the hotspot address as soon as it comes up
