Dart counter
The dart counter built for a club cellar.
Dartile keeps score for you: eight game modes and two training drills, three taps per visit, dark enough for a dimly lit room. If you want it to, the camera reads your darts off the board and suggests them. All of that runs on the device, costs nothing and needs no connection.
The store listing is being set up. Not the app: that is finished, including everything described on this page. The buttons will link to the store once it is actually available there.
Eight game modes, all free
Every mode is calculated entirely on the device. No account, no connection, no paywall.
X01
301 to 1001
From 501 down to zero, with or without double out. Starting score, sets and legs are set before the match.
Cricket
15 to 20 and bull
Close the numbers and score while your opponent is still open. Cut-throat included.
Around the Clock
1 to 20 in order
Hit every number once, from one up to twenty. The warm-up for the start of the evening.
Shanghai
Seven rounds
One number per round. Hit single, double and triple in the same round and you win on the spot.
Halve It
Miss and lose half
A fixed list of targets in order. Miss a round and half your score is gone.
Killer
Three players and up
Everyone gets a number and a set of lives. Once you are a killer, you take lives off the others.
Bob's 27
Doubles practice
All twenty doubles plus the bull, in order. Hits score, misses cost.
Checkout practice
Finishing routes
A remaining score, three darts, the best route to it. Routes adapt to right or left hand and to your own preferences.
Why Dartile and not the next counter
Works without a connection
Every game mode is calculated on the device. In a club cellar without reception Dartile counts exactly as it does at home. No account required.
No ads, no tracking
No banner between two visits, no video before the finish, no advertising identifier. Not even in the free version.
Entry without looking
A visit is entered with three taps. The keys are at least 64 pixels and sit in the lower third of the screen so a thumb finds them while three darts are in the other hand. The number appears at once, the animation follows.
Statistics that say something
Three-dart average, first nine, checkout percentage, highest finish, doubles hit rate per number. Not just legs won, but the numbers that show where it goes wrong.
A camera that claims nothing
The camera reads the darts off the board and does not enter them, it suggests them. It shows how sure it is; below a threshold it suggests nothing and asks instead. A correction costs one tap, and manual entry stays reachable everywhere. Processing happens on the phone: no image leaves the device, none is stored.
Built for dim rooms
A dark interface, because a bright screen in a cellar blinds you and ruins the view of the board. The score is the largest element and readable from two metres.
The camera suggests, you decide
Tap four points on the board once, and from then on the app reads your darts. What it sees it does not enter, it puts in front of you, together with how sure it is. That is not modesty, it is the reason the whole thing stays usable: a single phone camera sees the board from one direction, and a dart close to the wire is not always clear from there. A counter that hides this writes its mistakes silently into your statistics.
01
Set up once, four taps
Prop the phone up, tap the four given points on the board in the image, done. From that the app knows its view of the board. Put the phone back in the same holder tomorrow and the setup still holds.
02
It suggests, it does not enter
After every dart a suggestion appears, and next to it how sure the app is. Confirming is one tap, correcting is one tap. Without a confirmation no value goes into your statistics.
03
In doubt it asks
A dart close to the wire between single and treble is ambiguous from a single viewpoint. If confidence falls below the built-in threshold the app claims nothing and asks instead. Better to ask once too often than to claim once too much.
04
The way back is always there
Manual entry stays reachable at every point, and the camera can be switched off. No game mode depends on it.
05
Everything stays on the phone
Processing runs on the device. Frames live in memory and are discarded after evaluation. No image and no video is stored, sent to us or passed to anyone else. From the setup only the view of the board is saved, which is eight numbers.
Play against others, with one code
A six-digit code you read out, and you are both in the same match. Playing against others is part of Dartile Plus.
Sign in without a password
You enter your e-mail address and receive a six-digit code. You type it in, and that is the sign-in. There is no password to forget or lose.
One code, two phones
Whoever opens the match gets a six-digit code and reads it out. The other player types it in, and you play the same match on two devices.
A dropped connection is not a special case
What travels between the phones are the individual darts with a running number, not the score. Both sides work the score out themselves. If a number is missing it is fetched; if it arrives twice it counts once. Nobody has to decide which score is the real one.
Pricing
The counter stays free, and the camera is part of it. You only pay for what needs a server, and only if you want it.

Frequently asked questions
What does Dartile cost?
The app is free. Every game mode, the full statistics and camera scoring run on the device and cost nothing. You only pay for what needs a server.
What does Dartile Plus cost, and what is in it?
Dartile Plus costs €1.99 per month and can be cancelled monthly. It contains playing against other people over the internet, cloud backup of your matches, statistics across several devices and the leaderboards. Everything that runs on the device is untouched by this and stays free.
Does the camera score without me confirming?
No, and that is deliberate. It suggests a value and shows how sure it is. Below a threshold it suggests nothing and asks instead. Only your confirmation writes a value into the match, and a correction costs one tap. A single phone camera sees the board from one direction, and a dart close to the wire is not always clear from there. An app that hides this writes its mistakes silently into your statistics.
How do I set the camera up?
Prop the phone up so the board is in frame, then tap four given points on the board in the image. From that the app knows its view of the board. The setup is saved, so it is enough for a rig that stays in place. If the phone moves, you tap the four points again.
Does the camera store or send images?
No. All processing happens on the phone. Frames stay in memory and are discarded after evaluation. No image and no video is stored, sent to us or passed to anyone else. From the setup only the view of the board is kept, which is eight numbers.
Can I revoke the camera permission?
At any time in your phone settings. The app remains fully usable with manual entry afterwards, no game mode is lost.
Do I need an account?
Not for anything that runs on the device. You can play from the first launch without signing in. An account is only needed for Dartile Plus, because cloud backup, playing over the internet and leaderboards cannot work without one. Signing in uses a six-digit code sent by e-mail; there is no password.
What happens without a connection?
Every game mode, the statistics and camera scoring keep working, because they are calculated on the device. Without a connection only the four Plus features that need a server are missing: playing against others, cloud backup, statistics across devices and the leaderboards. An interrupted match against another player continues as soon as the connection is back.
How do I play against someone else?
One of you opens the match and gets a six-digit code to read out or send. The other types it in. After that the same match is on both phones. What travels between them are the individual darts with a running number, not the score; if the connection drops, the missing darts are fetched. Playing against others is part of Dartile Plus.
Does Dartile show ads?
No. Neither in the free version nor in Plus. There is no ad network in the app and no advertising identifier.
How do I cancel Dartile Plus?
If you bought through the App Store or Google Play, cancel the subscription there in your subscription settings. If you bought through this website, an e-mail to dartile.de@web.de is enough. After the paid period ends the local game modes remain usable.
Do I have a right of withdrawal?
Yes, fourteen days from the conclusion of the contract. It expires early only if you expressly ask us to start immediately and confirm that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal (section 356(5) of the German Civil Code). Purchases through the App Store or Google Play are handled by Apple or Google; refunds then go through that store.
What data is stored if I do not have Plus?
Without an account and without Plus your matches and statistics stay on the device. We receive none of it.
Will my name appear in the leaderboards?
Only the display name you choose yourself, and only if you take part in online play or leaderboards. Deliberately pick something other than your real name if you would rather not be identified. The name can be changed at any time.
How do I delete my account?
Through the form on this website under “Delete account” or by e-mail to dartile.de@web.de. We confirm and delete within 30 days; usually it happens within 72 hours.
Which devices does Dartile run on?
iPhone and iPad from iOS 16, and Android phones from Android 8.
Which languages does Dartile speak?
German, English, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Polish, Spanish and French. The app follows your system language and can be switched in the settings.
Does Dartile replace the scorer at the club?
For counting, yes, and it will call out the remainder if you want it to. For a league match under the rules, what the referee or the official scorer writes down still applies.
The legal side, briefly
Camera scoring runs entirely on your phone. No image and no video is transmitted or stored. You only create an account if you want to play against others or back your matches up; for that we need your e-mail address and the name you give yourself. What exactly we process, and when, is set out in the privacy policy.
