- 📦MTG Life Counter App: Lotus updated to version 2.23.0iOSNew: The Monarch moves on. When the monarch is knocked out, the coin goes to the player whose turn it is, like the Initiative. Without the turn tracker, you pick who gets it.
New: High Roll with a reveal. The dice tumble and stop one after another, then the winner lights up and the turn tracker starts.… more - 📊MTG Life Counter App: Lotus passed 100k monthly usersAndroidour estimate
- 📦MTG Life Counter App: Lotus updated to version 2.22.0iOSNovo: Relógio de xadrez e contagem regressiva. Em Ajustes → Ativar contador de turnos, escolha Por turno para um limite de tempo em cada turno ou Relógio de xadrez para um tempo total por jogador. O contador avisa quando o tempo está acabando e apita em 0:00. Funciona também em jogos compartilhados e no Transmitir na TV.
Novo: Vibração. Os toques podem dar uma vibração curta (Ajustes → Vibração).
Corrigido: o timer não perde mais tempo com o celular bloqueado, e os marcadores não cobrem mais o contador de turnos.

- 📦MTG Life Counter App: Lotus updated to version 2.21.0iOSNew: Pack Opener Binder. Every card you pull in the Pack Opener stays in your binder: see set completion and missing cards, filter Missing, Foils or Duplicates, and Copy as list for Moxfield or Archidekt.
Changed: Cast to TV is always in the menu. Tap Start casting to go live.
Fixed: text too small right after the app starts, the counter controls with one player, and Settings jumping sideways on iPad.

New: Win Stats in History → All Games, with wins and win rate for each player.
Fixed: counters showing twice with Cracked Screen Effect on.

- 📦MTG Life Counter App: Lotus updated to version 2.18.0iOSNovidade: masmorras e a dianteira. Deslize o card de um jogador e toque em Masmorra para se aventurar sala por sala na Mina Perdida de Fandelver, Masmorra do Mago Louco, Tumba da Aniquilação ou Submundo, como nas cartas impressas.

- 📦MTG Life Counter App: Lotus updated to version 2.17.0iOSiPhone Duo
Lotus now fills the whole screen on iPhone Duo, folded and unfolded. Unfold it and the game fits the bigger screen, and you can turn it sideways. Folded, the buttons keep clear of the camera in the corner. Also fixed: Settings no longer slides sideways, and a long email address wraps instead of pushing the list off screen.

Open booster packs from any Magic set, right in Lotus. Pick a set, tap the pack to tear it open, swipe through your cards and see what the pack is worth. Packs use the real pull rates of each booster, with foils and special treatments. Find it in the menu bar, or move it anywhere in Settings → Arrange Menu.
Layout fix
Fixed a layout bug: in some layouts (like 3 players), a card that should be full width was cut in half, leaving an empty space.
Smaller and easier to find
The app is smaller to download, and the App Store now lists all the languages Lotus speaks.

Die App folgt der Sprache deines Handys, und unter Einstellungen → Sprache kannst du eine andere wählen.
Kartensuche
Doppelseitige Karten haben einen Umdrehen-Button, Flip-Karten aus Kamigawa einen Drehen-Button, und jeder Druck lässt sich im Vollbild öffnen. Deine letzten Suchen stehen über dem Suchfeld, die meistgespielten Karten kommen zuerst, und auf der Kartenseite findest du die offiziellen Regelhinweise.

Fixes
The label shown when you pin the dice to the main screen no longer sits under the camera.

- 📦MTG Life Counter App: Lotus updated to version 2.13.0iOSSearch in Settings
Settings has a search field at the top. It finds settings, help videos and Players by the words you'd use, like "who goes first", "backup" or "notch", even with typos. Turn settings on and off right in the results, and help videos open directly.
Fixes
Typing works again in text fields on iOS 15 (card search, player and profile names, messages). The Colors & Backgrounds help video shows its card art again.

- 📦MTG Life Counter App: Lotus updated to version 2.12.0iOSCommander damage in 1-player games
Swipe your card sideways in a 1-player game to track commander damage: your own commander first (split into Commander and Partner if you have one), then your opponents in a scrollable list. Start with 3 opponents and add up to 9. Damage lowers your life and shows on your card.
Avoid Camera Cutout
A new setting on phones with a notch or Dynamic Island keeps the player cards clear of it at the top of the screen.
More help videos
Help now also shows card direction, colors and backgrounds, profiles, commander damage on cards, victory and defeat messages, pinned counters, playing below 0, and Monarch, Initiative and Day/Night.
Fixes
With an account, the number of players and the layout now stay on each device. A tablet on 4 players could turn a phone's running game into a single card in a 4-player grid.
Thanks for playing with Lotus!… more - 📦MTG Life Counter App: Lotus updated to version 2.11.0iOSPlayer card direction
Players now has a Player card direction row at the top: keep each layout's own mix, or turn every player card to face up, down, left or right, in any 2 to 10 player layout. Made for a tablet on a stand, a phone off to the side, streaming or casting to a TV. The 2-player Same Direction and Facing Sides options moved here, and a saved choice is carried over.
Fixes
Monarch, Initiative and Day/Night now stay when you close the app or change the card direction.

- 📦MTG Life Counter App: Lotus updated to version 2.10.0iOSAccounts
Settings now has an Account section. Sign in with Apple, Google or an email address and your settings, profiles, custom messages and game history follow you to every device, including lifecounter.app. Sign in on a second device and it picks everything up; changes sync in the background and a running game is never touched. If both the account and the device have data, Lotus combines them and asks once which settings to keep. Your uploaded backgrounds, profile pictures and logo come along too, and you can link Apple and Google to the same account. Sign out keeps everything on the device; Delete account removes everything from the account. Lotus works exactly as before without an account.
Export and import your data
Export Data saves one file with all your games, profiles, uploaded images, custom messages and settings. Import Data brings such a file back on this or another device.

Play Treachery, the hidden-role Commander variant for 4 to 10 players. Turn it on under Settings, Game Modes, tap the Treachery button and pass the phone around. Each player holds to see their secret identity, or scans a QR code to see it on their own phone. The Leader is face up and goes first, identities can be unveiled from the table, and Lotus calls the winning team. Roles and the winner are saved in History and on game recaps.
Arrange your menu
Under Settings, Arrange Menu you can put the menu entries in your own order, move them between the round menu and the bar below it, and give the round buttons any color.
Profile folders
Sort your profiles into folders, and drag profiles and folders into any order.
Help with demos
The Help button now shows short animated demos of how Lotus works.
Also new
Tap the ? next to Game Modes in Settings to read what each mode does. See every past update under See What's New at the bottom of Settings.
Fixes
After you tap Stop casting, Lotus no longer starts casting again the next time you open it. Settings scrolls from anywhere on tablets.

Saving a profile now keeps the player name, and loading it puts the name back on the card. You can also search your profiles by player name.
Fixes
Turning the game timer on or off in Settings no longer resets how long the current game has been running, so the time saved in History is right.
Lotus starts normally again if some of its saved data gets damaged.
Claiming a Bounty works again when every Bounty card is turned off.
Recap images now show player names with an apostrophe or an ampersand correctly.

- 📦MTG Life Counter App: Lotus updated to version 2.7.6iOSA big round of bug fixes. Thanks to everyone who reported problems.
Crashes and stuck screens
"Restore default background colors" no longer breaks Lotus on layouts with an empty spot (some 3, 5 and 7 player layouts). If it happened to you, Lotus repairs itself the next time you open it. Lotus also starts normally again if some of its saved data gets damaged, and picking a new layout and then tapping Cancel no longer causes a crash.
Planechase and Archenemy
Planechase now has all 207 planes. Before, the last 32 alphabetically never showed up. Opening it without a connection no longer leaves it empty, and the planar die no longer crashes when every plane is turned off. In Archenemy, an ongoing scheme you abandon stays abandoned.
History
Deleting several games in a row now removes the ones you picked. The last life change before closing the app is kept, restarting resets the Bounty card, and games in 1-player mode no longer fill your history with empty wins. The turn counter keeps counting when the last player of a round dies on their own turn. Older games show each life change under the right player again.
Backgrounds and profiles
Cropping a photo saves exactly what you see instead of stretching it. Profiles with an emoji or an apostrophe in the name can be shared again, and loading a profile updates partner commander tax correctly. "Reset App" now really deletes your uploaded images, old background images no longer pile up on your phone, and you get a message if an image can't be saved because your storage is full.
Everything else
Card search finds names with symbols like "R&D's Secret Lair", shows the newest results when you type fast, and tells you when you're offline. Restricted cards show as restricted instead of not legal. "Toggle all" buttons work on the first tap, tapping OK twice no longer saves things twice, the Support screen shows prices as soon as they load, and you'll see far fewer "restart the game?" prompts that showed up for no reason.

- 📦MTG Life Counter App: Lotus version 2.7.5iOSGIFs you upload as a player background move again. Since last year they were saved as a still picture; now they keep playing on the card.
The keyboard is easier to close. There's a Done button above it again, and in card search you can tap Return or "View all prints" to put it away, so it no longer covers the cards you're looking at.
Under the hood, Lotus is ready for iOS 27.

Latest updates
2.23.0
New: The Monarch moves on. When the monarch is knocked out, the coin goes to the player whose turn it is, like the Initiative. Without the turn tracker, you pick who gets it.
New: High Roll with a reveal. The dice tumble and stop one after another, then the winner lights up and the turn tracker starts.
2.22.0
Novo: Relógio de xadrez e contagem regressiva. Em Ajustes → Ativar contador de turnos, escolha Por turno para um limite de tempo em cada turno ou Relógio de xadrez para um tempo total por jogador. O contador avisa quando o tempo está acabando e apita em 0:00. Funciona também em jogos compartilhados e no Transmitir na TV.
Novo: Vibração. Os toques podem dar uma vibração curta (Ajustes → Vibração).
Corrigido: o timer não perde mais tempo com o celular bloqueado, e os marcadores não cobrem mais o contador de turnos.
Obrigado por jogar com Lotus!
2.21.0
New: Pack Opener Binder. Every card you pull in the Pack Opener stays in your binder: see set completion and missing cards, filter Missing, Foils or Duplicates, and Copy as list for Moxfield or Archidekt.
Changed: Cast to TV is always in the menu. Tap Start casting to go live.
Fixed: text too small right after the app starts, the counter controls with one player, and Settings jumping sideways on iPad.
Thanks for playing with Lotus!

The MTG life tracker for Commander
We love Magic the Gathering, so we built the life counter we wanted at our own table. Pick a layout for 2 to 10 players, set any starting life, and every player reads their own life total the right way up. Swipe on a card to track commander damage, partner damage and commander tax. Poison counters, energy, storm count, mana and the rest of the counters sit right on the player cards.

Swipe up or down on a player card to change its color or background image, turn on partner commanders, or load a saved profile. Profiles keep the player name and background, and you can share them between devices. When a player is knocked out, bring them back with one tap, and add some salt with custom defeat messages.
Game history
Every game is saved with its winner, duration, format and every life change, turn by turn. Settle the "who hit me last turn" argument in seconds.
Card search and price checking
Need to check if that spicy tech is format legal, or what that chase rare is worth? Search any Magic card to see current prices and legality in every format.

Archenemy: take on the villain's role with the full set of schemes, or team up against a common foe.
