Description

Point your camera at any Go board and Kifubara reads the position, counts territory, and calculates the score — in seconds.

No more counting by hand. Leave scoring to Kifubara.

HOW IT WORKS

Take a photo of your Go board or pick one from your gallery. Kifubara detects every stone, maps territory for both players, and scores the position under Chinese or Japanese rules. Review the result, adjust anything that needs fixing, and export.

BUILT FOR REAL BOARDS

Kifubara is designed for the moment after you finish a game on a real board. Works with wood boards, printed boards, magnetic travel sets — any physical Go board. Just make sure all four corners are visible and the lighting is decent.

Kifubara uses on-device machine learning. Your photos never leave your phone.

Go. Baduk. Weiqi. Whatever you call it — Kifubara counts it.
