About this app

LifePad is a digital recreation of pen-and-paper life tracking for 1v1 Magic: the Gathering with full game life-total history. Each change waits to be confirmed so complex life changes can be accurately calculated before committing them to history. Jot down notes during games like you would on a notepad and add commonly used game-state trackers such as Monarch, the Initiative, Day/Night, and floating mana.

Most Magic life trackers are either overly complicated for a multiplayer game like Commander or are too simplistic for competitive play. LifePad's minimalist layout is designed to get out of the way while still providing all the essential information you need to focus on the game and not the app.

Store multiple games within a match or create a new event and track multiple rounds complete with per-game and per-event persistent notetaking. Events can store information including your deck name, opponent name/deck, format, in-game notes, and overall event notes. This is all saved on the app for reviewing from anywhere after the fact or during the event.

Import and sync decks from Archidekt directly - or paste the decklist in from anywhere for creating snapshots of your decks at each event which allows you to see the evolution and changes to your deck over time. (Working on adding Moxfield as well) Create your sideboard plan and add notes for each deck for future reference.
