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 board both players read from their own side of the table, built for Bo3, set points and battlefields. Every match saves itself, point by point, so months later you can see how any game was won and what your win rate really is. Free, offline, no account.
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.
- 1Open the app at the table.
- 2Tap as you score points.
- 3It saves itself, and the session keeps them together.
Play it. Keep it. Look back.
A scoreboard both players can read.
The phone lies between you and the board splits down the middle: your half the right way up, theirs facing them. Conquer, Hold, or score off an ability, one tap each, in numbers you can read from the far side of the table. Long-press to undo. First to 8 takes the game.
- Bo1 and Bo3, with set points counted for you
- Battlefields recorded per game, both sides
Four players. One board.
Three and four player free for all, and 2v2. Every player gets their own corner of the board, their own legend art and their own score, turned to face where they are sitting. The match lands in your history the same way a duel does.
Every match, in one place.
Your matches are grouped by session: the day, the legend you played, the record, and every opponent in the order you met them. Your win rate and your latest legend sit at the top. Filter by legend, format or rival, or add a session you already played by hand.
- A session starts on its own with your first save
- Tournament results tagged on the session
See how it was won.
Every Conquer, every Hold, every ability point is saved in the order it happened. Open a match from months ago and read it back: who went first, which battlefields were in play, where the score turned, how long the game ran.
- A full record for every game in a Bo3
- Both battlefields, both sides, in order
Stop guessing your win rate.
Because every game is saved, your win rate with each legend builds itself. The legends you play most sit at the top, the ones you have only tried sit below, and your rivals rank by how the head to head actually went.
- 1v1, free for all and 2v2 counted separately
- A percentage only once there are enough games to mean one
Everything you have played with it.
Open a legend and its record is all there: win rate, games, your best run, going first against going second, and the latest matches with it. The more you play a legend, the more its page opens up, in three stages of mastery.
- Best and worst matchups for that legend
- Battlefields and how you trend with it
Every set, a new climb.
Each Riftbound set gets its own mark. Play matches during the set and it climbs through five rarities, from Common at your first match to Signature at fifty. Your mark shows on the cards you share, and at Signature you sign them.
- Common 1, Uncommon 5, Rare 12, Epic 25, Signature 50
- Your record for the set, by event type
Every session, one card.
When you pack up, the session becomes one card: your legend, your result, every match you played and the battlefields you played on. Share it as an Instagram story or a post. Opponents appear by legend, never by name.
- Story 9:16 and post 4:5
- Classic or Divine finish

Hi. I'm Ondřej.
I was the "let's just use a dice" guy. Then a friend and I spent an evening in a pub testing games, and afterwards neither of us had any idea who won or what the score had been. I wanted a way to keep those nights, so I built one.
It's built solo in Prague, Czech Republic, and is not affiliated with Riot Games. No team. No investors. If something breaks or you want a feature, write to hello@aethoscounter.com. I'm the only person reading it, and most things people ask for either ship within a week or get an honest answer about why they can't.
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.
Asked & answered.
What is Aethos?
Aethos is a free Riftbound counter app for iOS and Android. You keep score at the table, and every match saves itself, so you can replay any game point by point and page back through your whole history. Built solo by Ondřej Vodák in Prague.
Is Aethos free?
Yes. Recording is free forever: every match, every format, your rivals and your win rate. Free keeps your latest 10 matches in full detail. Opening your full chronicle costs $3.99 a month or $39.99 once. The monthly plan can be cancelled any time, and the one-time purchase never expires. No ads either way.
What happens to matches past the free limit?
They seal. The match still counts in your totals and your win rate, but its detail is locked until you open your full chronicle. Nothing was deleted: it is locked, not lost.
What happens if I cancel or stop paying?
Your matches stay exactly where they are. The free window simply comes back, so the latest 10 keep their full detail and the older ones seal again. Nothing is deleted at any point, and if you buy again everything reopens as it was. The lifetime purchase never expires.
How do I track a match at the table?
Put the phone between you and open the app. Tap Conquer, Hold, or Ability as you score. Long-press to undo. The board is split, so your opponent reads their own half the right way up from their side. Save when the game ends, and the match lands in your history with its timestamps, scores and battlefields.
Can Aethos track a whole session?
Yes. A session starts on its own with your first save. Between rounds the board keeps it together: every match so far, the running record, the Legend you registered and the battlefields already used. When you end the session you can name it and add where you finished, and it becomes one entry with a card you can share.
Can I replay a match I already finished?
Yes. Every point is saved in the order it happened, so you can open a game from weeks or months ago and read it back point by point. You see who went first, where the score turned, and how long the game ran.
Does Aethos support free-for-all and 2v2?
Yes. Three and four player free for all and 2v2 each have their own board, where every player gets their own corner, their own Legend art and their own score, turned to face where they sit. Those matches land in your history like any other.
Does Aethos have a tournament mode?
Yes. When you can't touch your phone during a match, log each round by hand afterwards. Aethos keeps your record and your standings points the way events count them, Win 3 / Draw 1 / Loss 0, and gives you live odds of making the top cut based on your record, the round count and the size of the cut. It doesn't generate pairings for the event, that stays with the organiser's software.
Does Aethos track Bo3 and set points?
Yes. Aethos has a dedicated Bo3 mode that tracks set points across games. The Bo3 match is saved as one entry, and each game inside it keeps its own scoreline and battlefield.
Can I share a match, a session, or a record?
Yes. A finished match, a session, a head-to-head like "7-3 against Master Yi", a filtered record or your set can all be shared as a card. You can also send your opponent the match itself as a link or a code, and it lands in their history. Notes, moods and other people's names are stripped before anything leaves your phone.
Does Aethos work offline?
Yes. Recording matches and reading your history work fully offline, since everything is stored on your device. You only need a connection to buy or restore a purchase, send a match link, or use the optional account for friends and cloud backup.
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.
Can Aethos show my win rate by Legend?
Yes. Because every game is saved, your win rate per Legend builds itself and sorts into the Legends you main and the ones you have only tried, next to your rivals ranked by how the head to head actually went. Free shows this across your latest 10 matches; the full chronicle covers everything you have ever recorded.
What is the mark?
Each Riftbound set has its own mark. It climbs with the matches you record during that set, through five rarities: Common at 1 match, Uncommon at 5, Rare at 12, Epic at 25 and Signature at 50. The mark shows on the cards you share, and at Signature you sign them. A new set starts a new mark.
Does Aethos teach the rules or coach my play?
No. Aethos is a recorder, not a coach. It keeps what happened so you can look back at it yourself. 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.
Does Aethos work on iPad and Android tablets?
Yes. Aethos runs on iPhone and iPad (iOS 17 or later) and on Android phones and tablets (Android 8.0 / API 26 or later).
Is my match data private?
Your matches stay on your device, and no account is needed to record them. Aethos sends anonymous usage analytics with a random ID to a privacy-focused service on EU servers. The account, friends and cloud backup are optional. See the privacy policy for full details.
Can I move my history to a new phone?
Yes. Open the settings gear on the board and choose Export Match Data. It writes a file holding every saved match, which you import on the new device. It moves between iOS and Android too. Aethos also keeps automatic on-device backups, plus cloud backup if you have an account.
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.
Your next game is the first one you'll keep.
It's free, there's no account, and it works the moment you open it at the table.
