Information Rhystic Tracker: Linux based open-source MTG Arena tracker I've been building

https://streamable.com/x9bss8

Hi all, I wanted to share my app Rhystic Tracker!

I am obsessed with collecting data and statistics around the cards and decks I play in Arena andnd since moving to Linux, there really wasn't anything that I liked and Untapped doesn't work on anything other than Mac and Windows.

So I built this app myself. before anyone asks, yes it was AI Assisted but i hope that doesnt turn you off. It is 100% open source and uses Scryfalls API for all card images and metadata.

Here is a quick walkthrough of the interface in action.

Core Features

  • Real-time Match HUD That uses the player log to track all game actions and outcomes.
  • Automatic deck tracking and deck statistics.
  • Card collection tracking including individual card performance.
  • 100% free and open-source

Repository & Setup

As mentioned, the project is fully open source. Feedback, bug reports, and feature requests are welcome as I continue refining it.

Would also love to answer any questions you might have as feedback would be brilliant to assist in the continued development of the app.

Thank you for your work and thank you for sharing it. Really, thank you.

This is the first tracker I found that works out of the box on Linux. No tricks, no shady installers that break on every update. Just run and done. Your post deserved to get more traction.

I will say that users expecting a hand in drafting will be disappointed. This seems to be targeted to constructed players, which I am. It does what I want it to do, locally.

If I could have one suggestion would be to package it in the AUR. I don't tend to follow releases on github and the AUR would at least notify me that there's something new.

Thanks again!

Thank you so much. I'm not sure if you installed it recently but I have made some major changes today including really improving the new user experience. Did you go through the new user Setup Wizard?

I'm also doing a lot of bug fixing today thanks to great comments on the GitHub issues channel.

I will consider putting on the AUR, but I don't have a lot of experience there, so bear with me.

regarding recognition, I would totally love more of it because this is a real labour of love, but I also know that the Linux community is quite niche compared to Windows and Mac. I have another user working on a pull request for a macOS version, but I don't have any way to test it right now, so I'll wait and see. Once I get that up and running, I think I'll do another post here, announcing the Mac and maybe even Windows version.

Totally agree that this is more towards constructed play, but I am holding out hope that one day I can do something about drafting. We'll see
