ScorePals
Be the family's official scorekeeper for grades 1–2! Add up each round, carry when a column fills, see who's ahead, and the app draws the game as a bar graph. Big buttons, read-aloud, gentle checking — the bookkeeping IS the thinking. On-device; nothing leaves your device.

Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, asks, and patiently scaffolds learning.

Meet the cast
ScorePals has a small friendly scorekeeping crew — each one shows one math job you do when you keep score (their illustrated storybooks are on the way).
Marky
The scorekeeper who TALLIES — writes down every point as it happens and adds it on
Deca
CARRY — moves a ten to the next column when the ones fill up past nine
Moe
COMPARE — always asks “who has more, and how many more?”
Barlow
GRAPH — draws the round as a bar graph so you can see the whole game at a glance

How ScorePals handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ Free — no ads, no in-app purchases
- ✅ No personal information collected from children — in line with COPPA (updated by the 2026 FTC amendments)
- ✅ No chat with strangers — play-together rooms use a short code and preset emotes, never typed messages
ScorePals runs on ForgeKit — the open-source Swift Package Manager framework that powers every Spark & Anvil app. ForgeKit ensures consistent accessibility, COPPA compliance, and design language across the portfolio, so your kid's progress and preferences feel coherent across every app they touch.
