iPhone apps
Somebody has to keep track.
Two Beers Studios makes small iPhone apps for the things you do with your friends — and for the record you wish you had afterward.
4sum
In TestFlight betaTrack the games. Settle the bets.
One person keeps the card. 4sum runs every side game your group has going — on the real course, with real handicaps — and tells everyone who owes what when you walk off eighteen.
- 19 games
- One-screen settle-up
- Real course scorecards
- Handicap strokes done for you
Opens in TestFlight. You’ll need Apple’s TestFlight app installed.

Nineteen games, stacked
Nassau, Skins, Wolf, Vegas, Banker, Stableford, Bingo Bango Bongo, Snake and eleven more. Run as many at once as the group can keep straight.
Strokes sorted on the first tee
Course strokes from your handicap and the numbers printed on the scorecard for your tees — then allocated hole by hole off the stroke index. Nobody has to do the math in the cart.
The card you are already playing
Public courses near you come loaded with tees, pars and stroke indexes. Playing somewhere else? Build the card once and keep it.
One settle-up screen
Every game totalled, then collapsed into the fewest payments that square the group. Tap a name to hand the amount off to Venmo — 4sum doesn’t touch the money itself.
Rules, with a worked example
Every game carries its own rules and a hole-by-hole example. Settles the argument before it starts.
Ready on the first tee
Pick the course, pick the games, start scoring. Nothing to set up before you play, and it keeps working when the course has no signal.
WHODUNITE
In TestFlight betaSolve last night.
Capture the night as it happens — clips, photos, voice notes, the places you end up. The next morning WHODUNITE hands it all back as a recap, then quizzes you on how much of it you actually remember.
- One-tap capture
- Maps where you went
- Morning-after recap
- A game about your own night
Opens in TestFlight. You’ll need Apple’s TestFlight app installed.
01 — during the night
Capture the night
A clip, a photo, a quick note, as it happens. One tap, nothing to edit, no caption to write — so the phone goes back in your pocket.
02 — during the night
See where you went
The night leaves a trail. WHODUNITE keeps the route and every stop, so the third bar still has a name in the morning.
03 — during the night
Relive it in the morning
Everything you caught, handed back as a recap: the montage, the map, the timeline of how it actually went.
04 — the morning after
Then play the game
A round of questions about your own night. Where did you start? Who said that? Answer first, then find out how close you were.
The studio
Two Beers Studios
Two apps so far. One counts the bets on a golf course, the other pieces a night back together the morning after. Both started the same way: a group of friends, an argument about what actually happened, and nobody who wrote it down.
Both are built to be useful the first time you open them — no ads, no setup to get through before the thing you came for. More is on the way, mostly the parts that only work properly once your friends are in it too.
