Kifubara: Go Board Scanner

Take a photo of your Go board. Get territory, score, and SGF in seconds. Leave scoring to Kifubara — works with any physical board.

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.

FEATURES • Automatic stone detection from a single photo • Territory counting and scoring under Chinese or Japanese rules • Adjustable komi • Mark dead stones and edit the position by hand • Deep analysis to refine scoring accuracy • Group strength and influence visualization • SGF export to share or study in your favorite Go app • Save and name games in your library

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.
