About this app
Lifetap is a clean, simple, and free life tracker for your games of Magic: The Gathering. It loads lightning fast, allows for massive 6 player games of EDH / Commander or Three-Headed Giant, and even supports Planechase, Archenemy & Bounty.
Main features:
- Supports 2 to 6 players, AND includes a One-player mode that still tracks incoming commander damage and counters (Infect, Experience, etc)
- Player customization: set your player background to the art of one of Magic: The Gathering's more than 30,000 cards! Or two: partners (and backgrounds) are supported!
- Player profiles: each profile with a customized name is automatically saved along with their card art and/or color customization, letting you load your profile in a couple taps
- Planechase support: spice things up with a full suite of Planechase cards within the app
- Archenemy support: also allows for gameplay with the full set of Archenemy Schemes
- Bounty mini-game: play with the 12 bounty cards from Outlaws of Thunder Junction, with escalating reward levels
- Tracks commander damage (partner commander damage included) in a unique, intuitive way!
- Also tracks Infect, Treasure tokens, Experience counters, Commander tax, Monarchy, Initiative, Energy, Day/Night, and City's Blessing
- Quickly reset games to starting life of 20, 25, 30, or 40. Optionally, let the app randomize seating for you to keep things interesting
- An optional turn timer to track how long players are taking. Includes stopwatch, countdown timer (MTGO-style), chess clock mode that tracks priority, and turn time alerts
- A dice roller that can randomly pick a player, an opponent, and roll one of many dices - or flip a coin
- Mana and storm counters to help players going off keep track of floating mana and storm count
- Available in English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, Korean, Chinese, Polish, Russian, and Greek
- Support for tablets
- Crash protection: unlike most life counters, game state is saved to memory, so crashes or rebooting won't affect the game!
More features are in the works, and if you have any specific feature requests, please email me!

Love this app - by far the best life tracker I've used. One thing I'd love to see included though is the ability to view a commander's card text easily during the game. I'm still new and a lot of commanders I have no idea what they do - then forget. I'd love to just hit an info button on the screen to remind myself of the text rather than interrupting someone when they're working out their turn. Actually - even just this option when setting the commander as a background would be a great help!

This is absolutely the best app I have used for Magic. It has support for 6 players, custom life, the layout isn't too fiddly and there's togglable options for auto-hiding menu buttons. It tracks all types of counters and mana, commander damage per commander (and partners), card search for backgrounds, each player name and deck is saved and is easily reloaded. Oh and you can play Planechase, because why not? All for free. I genuinely have not got a bad word to say.

Definitely the best life tracker for magic I've ever used by far. It tracks everything I can think of. Commander damage (including partner commanders), commander tax, poison counters, and on and on. I would pay money for this app. Update : It would be cool if the app could track negative health for when you have a "you can't lose the game" effect.
