Commander life tracking

Track life totals for real Commander tables without losing the flow of the game.

Commander damage and counters

Keep commander damage, poison, table counters, and important pressure points visible.

Turn order and table state

Follow active player, turn pacing, and table moments so the recap has a real trail.

Deck and player history

Connect decks, players, records, and game nights into a local history for your pod.

Playgroup stats

See who won, which decks keep showing up, and where the salt actually came from.

Post-game recaps

Turn the night into standings, key moments, deck records, and receipts worth keeping.

More than a life counter.

A Commander tracker that remembers the game after the game ends. Salt Mine connects live table state to deck records, player history, and the post-game story your pod will absolutely bring up next week.

Life totals are table stakes. The receipts are the point.

Deck records, player memory, game logs, and live tracking feed the same story.

Built for Commander pods that want useful history without account drama.

Availability

Android release planned for Summer 2026.

Salt Mine is not broadly downloadable yet. Beta access is planned through Google Play testing tracks, not direct APK downloads.
