ALBA · LATIN FOR DAWN

A companion for the
game, not a tool.

ALBANote is a free Riichi scoring companion from ALBAN. No ads. No login. It works offline once it has loaded, and your data stays yours. ALBA is Latin for dawn — a beginning without end.

The Manifesto

Rules are made, not given.

Every table has its own house rules. ALBANote was built around that truth — a quiet companion that bends to your game instead of asking you to bend to it. Concept & direction by Shinya Takahashi.

Four Principles

Built on four promises.

The foundations never change, in any version, in any language.

No advertising

No banners, no trackers, no noise. Just the count and the game in front of you.

No login

Open it and play. No account, no password, no email — nothing to sign up for.

Your data is yours alone

Scores, rules, and members live on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere by default.

Works offline

Load it once where there's signal. After that it runs offline — at the table, on the road, anywhere.

Everything at the Table

One companion, the whole night.

From the first deal to the final settlement — ALBANote keeps the score so you can keep playing.

Score reference table

An instant han / fu score chart you can read at a glance — and edit to match how your table counts.

Comeback conditions

See exactly what hand you need to overtake the lead before the last hand is dealt.

Member & group management

Keep your regulars and groups together so the right players are seated session after session.

Saved rule sets

Store the house rules each circle plays by, and switch between them in a tap.

Seating draw

Settle who sits where with a fair, automatic seating draw before the first deal.

Results archive

Every session is kept, so the running tally and long-term standings are always there.

Original & local yaku

Create your own yaku and turn on local hands — the rules of your table, recognised by the count.

JSON backup

Export everything to a JSON file and carry a lifetime of play between devices, on your terms.

Yours, For Good

A lifetime of play, in a single file.

Because your records live on your device, nothing depends on an account staying open or a service staying online. When you want to move to a new phone, hand the group to a friend, or simply keep an archive, export it all to a plain JSON file — and bring it back whenever you like.

From the App to the Table

The count is digital.
The table is real.

ALBANote keeps the score; an ALBAN table plays the game. Auto-shuffle, auto-deal, LCD scoring and voice guidance — from a Tokyo company since 1990, with the Slim series designed in Tokyo and finished and inspected at ALBAN's own factory.
