Mafia Score for iOS

Mafia Score, developed by Amol Srivastava, is a digital moderator for Mafia sessions that replaces pen-and-paper bookkeeping with automated management of roles and outcomes. The app assigns secret roles randomly, tracks active and eliminated players, and calculates win conditions in real time, keeps game data local, and reduces moderator errors during sessions. It also guides day and night phases, supports AirPlay for larger displays, and offers a high-contrast dark mode. Designed for social deduction fans, party hosts, and game moderators seeking a privacy-focused tool.

A single-screen moderator view organizes session flow

In a live Mafia session, the moderator uses a centralized dashboard to manage the table without juggling cards. After entering player names and selecting roles, participants privately inspect assignments by passing the device. The moderator marks eliminated players with a tap and advances phases through the interface. The built-in logic observes the board state and flags when victory criteria are met, which reduces manual counting and adjudication mistakes.

Set up is local and dependable for living-room play

Because the app performs all processing on-device, it runs without network access and requires no sign-in. The developer enforces a zero data collection policy so no external accounts or cloud sync are needed. Builds target current Apple platforms and require modern OS versions on mobile and an Apple M1-class chip for Mac, which makes the tool reliable for in-person sessions but tied to compatible hardware.

Suited to hosts who value quick rounds; niche by design

For party hosts and moderators, the app's focused interface keeps setup brief and supports repeated sessions without ads or account overhead. Player feedback highlights simplicity and effectiveness as a niche utility. However, the single-device control model limits use for synchronized remote groups and the lightweight, focused scope favors streamlined moderator duties over deep role customization or extensive configuration options.

Recommended for local hosts who want a privacy-minded moderator tool

The app is a pragmatic choice for moderators running in-person social deduction nights who prefer minimal setup and clear rulings. It favors tabletop management and repeated local sessions rather than networked or remote play. Players who need synchronized online matches or extensive custom role systems should consider other options. As a compact moderator companion, it rewards hosts who curate the table experience.
