About Nexus

Nexus is a life and stats tracker built for Commander (EDH) players who want more than just a life counter.

Track life totals, commander damage, and game history with an interface designed to stay out of your way during gameplay.

Why Nexus?

Most life tracking apps give you the basics and call it done. Nexus goes further:

  • Web-first — works in any browser, no app download required
  • Mobile-friendly design that actually works at the table
  • Stats that matter: win rates, matchup data, and performance trends across your pod
  • Built with multi-format support in mind — Commander first, with plans for Pauper, 2HG, and more

Truth be told, I built this because nothing else fit how my pod actually plays. If you're reading this, you probably felt the same way.

Who are you?

I'm James, a web developer and a passionate Commander player based in Sydney, Australia 🐨🦘🇦🇺 I've been playing Magic for over two decades, and Commander has been my favourite format for years.

Nexus lets me build something I use every week while giving back to the community. When I'm not coding or slinging cardboard, I'm hunting down Sydney's best food or exploring somewhere new.

Will you charge for Nexus?

Nexus is free. Core features will always be free. If I ever build premium features, I'll be transparent about it - but the essential experience stays accessible to everyone.

Built for real games

Nexus is built for the games you actually play — cEDH at the LGS, casual kitchen table, or anything in between. Built by a Commander player, for Commander players, and constantly improving based on player feedback.
