—The Apps—
One live. More on the way. Every app we ship has to pass the Saturday test — would we actually use this with our crew? If not, it doesn't leave the garage.
"Where every hole has a price."
Remember the good old days? Back when we used to put a dollar on the teepad? Closest to the pin took the pile. Now you can keep that tradition alive — minus the soggy dollars in your wallet. Imaginary stakes, real-time scoreboard, push rules, and all the trash talk. Everyone on the same card, live, no matter whose phone it is.
Currently in beta. Free to play. No account required.
Some games begin with rules. This one began with a tradition.
Long before apps existed, someone slapped a dollar on the teepad. Everyone else threw theirs on top. Closest to the pin won the pile — and their friends kicked a little dirt on the losing dollars first. That was the rule. That's where the name comes from.
"Dirty chains. Dirty dollars. Clean fun."
Times change. Nobody carries cash on the course anymore. So we kept the tradition and dropped the cash. The push rules, the running tally, the trash talk — all the parts that made it fun, none of the parts that made it complicated.
— How it works —
No account, no download, no setup. Open it on the teepad and you're running.
Host hits "New game" and gets a short room code. Everyone else types it in. 2 to 10 players.
Pick your buy-in per hole. $1, $5, whatever feels right — but it's all imaginary. Dollars are points. All risk, no reward. Except bragging.
Throw. Closest to the pin taps in as the winner. Miss? Tap push. Pot rolls to the next hole.
End-of-round leaderboard with the stats that matter. Biggest pot won. Most pushes. Closest throw of the day. Screenshot it. Send it to the group chat. The W lasts till next round.
— Beta access —
Dirty Chains is in active beta. Every feature request, bug report, and "what if it did X" note gets read and most of them get built. The app you play on today isn't the app you'll play on a month from now — and that's on purpose.
If it makes your round better, we want to know.
— Next up —
Dirty Chains was app number one. There's a notebook full of numbers two through fifty — stuff for weekend cookouts, road trips, camping crews, festivals, and whatever else you and yours get up to.
Got an app idea?
If there's a game, tracker, or crew-activity thing you wish existed, we want to hear about it. Some of what's on our list started as one sentence in someone's email.
