DartsHQ reads your Autodarts hardware data in real time and turns raw coordinates into coaching you can actually use — grouping drift, positional patterns, and micro-corrections between every single dart.
Setup
No Autodarts account credentials. No complicated config. Just a small connector that bridges your board to your coach.
Download the Connector
A small Windows app that runs in the background alongside Autodarts. Open-source, free, and fully transparent about what it does.
Windows .exe — ~2MBEnter your username
Paste in your DartsHQ username and a connection key from your Settings tab. The connector links your board to your account in seconds.
One-time setupThrow darts
Start a session in DartsHQ and play normally. Every dart's exact coordinates flow through to your coach in real time. That's it.
Live coordinate feedWhat changes
Manual entry tells DartsHQ your score. Autodarts tells it your coordinates. That's the difference between "you hit 60" and "your last three darts drifted 8mm left — aim right of the treble wire."
See pricing →Grouping drift analysis
DartsHQ plots where your darts actually land versus where you're aiming — and tells you whether you're drifting left, right, high, or low, and by how much.
Session heatmaps
Every throw logged as a coordinate, visualised as a heatmap on the board. See patterns across a session or across months of play.
Aim-point optimisation
Based on your variance, DartsHQ calculates whether T20 or T19 is genuinely the better target for your current level — and shows you the maths.
Between-dart corrections
Because the coach knows exactly where each dart landed, the Audio Coach can give corrections between darts rather than after the visit — while there's still time to adjust.

Connector reads MQTT locally only
How it works under the hood
The DartsHQ Connector reads from your local Autodarts MQTT broker — the same data bus your Autodarts client uses internally. It never touches your Autodarts account, never interacts with Autodarts servers, and only reads data that your own hardware is already generating on your own network. Your credentials stay entirely with Autodarts.
The connector is fully open-source. Every line of code is publicly available on GitHub for anyone who wants to verify exactly what it does. This is how third-party darts tools in this community have always worked — reading local data to build better experiences on top.
