Avoids bogey numbers
The engine skips routes that leave you on awkward scores (like 99, 93, or other numbers without a clean two-dart finish).
DartFinisher shows you the smartest dart checkout for every score โ including a safe fallback route if your first dart doesn't land perfect.
DartFinisher started as a personal project to fix the mistakes in classic checkout charts and give players a smarter way to finish legs.
On this page you'll find a bit more background about how DartFinisher was built and what's coming next.
Every dart player knows the feeling: you're on a checkout, you check the chart on the wall, throw your first dart... and it hits a single instead of the treble. Now what?
Traditional dart checkout charts and calculators only show you the 'perfect' route. T20 โ T20 โ D20 for 170. Great โ but what if you hit single 20? You're left doing mental math mid-leg, guessing what's still possible, and often scrambling for an awkward double.
That's the problem DartFinisher was built to solve.
I wanted a tool that didn't just tell me WHAT to throw, but showed me what happens when things don't go perfect. A calculator that thinks ahead. One that gives me a Plan B before I need it.
So I built it. Every route in DartFinisher is designed with the fallback in mind. I don't just optimize for the perfect three-dart finish โ I optimize for real matches, where the first dart doesn't always hit the treble.
DartFinisher isn't a static lookup table. Every checkout is calculated using match logic that prioritizes clean setups and safe fallbacks.
The engine skips routes that leave you on awkward scores (like 99, 93, or other numbers without a clean two-dart finish).
Routes favor D16, D20, and Tops โ the doubles most players are comfortable with. No obscure setups.
Every main route is chosen so that even a missed treble (hitting the single) still leaves you with a strong Plan B.
You're not just copying a route โ you're learning why it works. Over time, you'll remember the logic and won't need the calculator.
DartFinisher is just getting started. Here's what's coming:
Random checkout generator to train your memory and speed under pressure.
Native Android and iOS apps for faster access and offline use.
Cricket, Around the Clock, Shanghai and other popular dart games.
Track your progress over time and compete with players worldwide.
DartFinisher is built with player feedback. If you've spotted a mistake or know a smarter combination, I want to hear it.
