RIFTBOUND TCG · COUNTER + MATCH ARCHIVE

A counter that feels like Riftbound. And never forgets a match.

Plenty of apps can count to eight. This one feels like it came out of the game: a clean, smart scoreboard that handles Bo3, Set Points and battlefields. And every match saves itself, so you can look back and see how you're really doing, not just how you feel. Free, offline, no account.

The thing about paper

You've played hundreds of games this year. Name your last three.

You probably can't. That is not on you, it is just what paper does. The second you shuffle up, the game is gone. Aethos keeps every one from your next game on, so nothing you fought for disappears when you pack up the cards.

  1. 1Open the app at the table.
  2. 2Tap as you score points.
  3. 3Save. It is kept forever.
What's inside

Play it. Keep it. Relive it.

01
Score

Keep score. It feels like Riftbound.

Conquer, Hold, or score off an ability. One tap each, and the numbers are big enough to read from across the table. Tapped wrong? Long-press to undo. First to 8 takes the game. It feels less like a calculator and more like part of the board.

The time machine

Travel back into any game. Point by point.

Every Conquer, Hold and flip is saved with a timestamp. Open a match from six months ago and play it back: see who scored first, where the momentum turned, and where the loss actually started. It is the closest thing to sitting back down at that table.

The diary

Your whole history, in one place.

The game ends and the match is already in your log. Pick the leaders, add a note if you feel like it, then get on with your night. Months later it is all still there to page back through. Last ten matches free, all of them with Prime.

The stats build themselves.

You are not here to keep a spreadsheet. But because every game is saved, your win rate by leader, your best and worst matchups, and how it all moves over time appear on their own. That deck you "always lose to"? Turns out you are up 6–4.

From the dev

Hi. I'm Ondřej.

I built Aethos because I kept losing to the same friend and could never remember how. Paper games just vanish. I wanted a way to keep them, so I could actually look back.

It's built solo in Prague, Czech Republic, and is not affiliated with Riot Games. No team. No investors. I pay for Prime myself, on the same plan you'd pick. If something breaks or you want a feature, write to hello@aethoscounter.com. I'm the only person reading it.

Build in public

You ask. I build.

Every feature in Aethos started as someone at a card shop saying "it should do this." The whole roadmap is public. Drop an idea, vote on what matters, and watch it move from request to shipped.

Questions

Asked & answered.

What is Aethos?

Aethos is a free Riftbound counter app for iOS and Android. You keep score at the table, and every game is saved so you can replay any match point by point and page back through your whole history. Built solo by Ondřej Vodák in Prague.

Is Aethos free?

Yes. The score counter is free forever, and the last 10 saved matches keep their full detail. Aethos Prime unlocks unlimited match history and full stats: $2.99/month, $17.99/year, or $29.99 for lifetime. No ads either way.

Can I replay a match I already finished?

Yes. Every point is saved with a timestamp, so you can open a game from weeks or months ago and play it back point by point. You see who scored first, where the momentum turned, and where the loss actually started.

Does Aethos have a tournament mode?

Yes. When you can't touch your phone during a match, log each result by hand after the round, and Aethos runs your Swiss: pairings, standings, and your live odds of making the top cut. It works fully offline, so it is a legal scorepad even in airplane mode.

Does Aethos work offline?

Yes. Tracking matches and reading your history works fully offline, since everything is stored on your device. The only time you need a connection is to buy or restore Aethos Prime.

Does Aethos work for paper Riftbound matches?

Yes, that's exactly what it was built for. Aethos is a recorder for in-person paper Riftbound games, designed to sit next to your playmat. It does not connect to any digital Riftbound client.

Does Aethos track Bo3 and Set Points?

Yes. Aethos has a dedicated Bo3 mode that tracks Set Points across multiple games. The Bo3 series is saved as a single match in your archive; each game inside it keeps its own scoreline and Battlefield.

Can Aethos show my win rate by Legend?

Yes. Because every game is saved, your win rate per Legend, your best and worst matchups, and how you trend over time build themselves. Full per-Legend stats require Aethos Prime.

Does Aethos teach Riftbound rules or coach my play?

No. Aethos is a recorder, not a coach. It keeps what happened in your match so you can look back at it. It doesn't suggest plays or analyze decks. The official Riftbound rulebook is the place to learn the rules.

What's the difference between a game and a match in Riftbound?

Per the Riftbound rulebook, a game is a single play to the Victory Score on one Battlefield. A match is the whole contest: Bo1 is one game, Bo3 is first to two Set Points. Aethos tracks both, with Bo3 mode for tournament play.

Does Aethos work on iPad and Android tablets?

Yes. Aethos runs on iPhone and iPad (iOS 14 or later) and on Android phones and tablets (Android 8.0 / API 26 or later). The score counter is optimized for table-side reading on both form factors.

Is my Riftbound match data private?

Yes. All match data stays on your device. Aethos sends only anonymous usage analytics (with a random ID) to a privacy-focused service on EU servers. No account, no email, no personal identifiers. See the privacy policy for full details.

Can I move my match history to a new phone?

Yes. From the Profile tab, export your match archive as a file. Install Aethos on the new device and import the file. No account required, and your data stays yours.

How often is Aethos updated?

Roughly every two to four weeks. The public patch notes page tracks every release with version notes.

Is Aethos an official Riot Games app?

No. Aethos is an independent fan-made companion app. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Riot Games. Riftbound and Runeterra are trademarks of Riot Games. I built this because I love the game.
