Alpha Free · Open source · Chrome and Edge
Place the ward.
See the table.
Wardeye is a free browser extension for people watching Riftbound on Twitch. Point at a card on the table to see its name and image, live or on replay. It works from the video alone, on your computer: no video leaves it.
Free, from the Chrome Web Store, for desktop Chrome and Edge. In Edge, allow extensions from other stores when it asks.
01 · How it works
Three steps. No setup.
- 1
Place the ward
Add Wardeye to Chrome or Edge from the Chrome Web Store.
- 2
Open a stream or replay
Any Riftbound broadcast on Twitch, live or on replay. Theatre mode and fullscreen work too.
- 3
Point at a card
Its image and name appear beside it, with the cards lying under it, such as gear on a unit.
02 · What it does
Built for watching.
Names the table as it is played
Each face-up card on the table is outlined and named as it lands.
A hover card for every card
The card's image and name, how sure Wardeye is, and what lies under it.
Remembers what is covered
A card hidden under another is still known, and listed with the card on top.
Out of the way
Works in theatre mode and fullscreen. Turn it off with its badge, the toolbar button or Alt+R (Option+R on a Mac).
- The plays panelBeside the video: each player's legend and face-up cards, and the plays as they happened. On a replay, click a play to jump to it.
- Published decklistsPaste a player's deck code or deckbuilder export, and Wardeye looks only among those cards. It fetches no list itself.
- A performance settingFull, Balanced or Light: fewer frames a second for a computer that runs other apps too.
03 · Under the hood
It reads the art, not the text.
On stream a card is 70 to 140 pixels tall at 1080p, too small for its text to be read. So Wardeye recognises the art: it finds each card's corners, turns its picture into a fingerprint and matches it against every printing of every card.

It runs on your graphics chip with WebGPU, or more slowly on the processor.
04 · Results
Measured, not claimed.
Alpha results, measured on real broadcasts. The reports are public.
05 · Principles
Private by design. Made for viewers.
Private
- Runs on your computer. Recognition happens in your browser. No video or frames leave your machine.
- Public information only. It reads only the table camera: never hand cams, face-down cards or the hand lists a broadcast shows.
- Nothing kept about you. No account, analytics, ads or history. Card names and images load from Riot's public card gallery as you watch; Wardeye ships none of them.
For viewers
- Not a play aid. It is made for watching broadcasts: no rules enforcement, no advice, nothing for the players at the table.
- No statistics about players. No win rates, play rates or ratings. The plays list stays in the tab and goes when it closes.
- Free for everyone. No paid tier, no ads, no account.
06 · Who makes it
A community project.
Wardeye is made by Federico Vietti, who also makes Gradeon, the AI card pre-grading app. It shares Gradeon's dark look; it is not a Gradeon product.
The code is open source under the AGPL-3.0, and built in the open on GitHub. The trained models ship inside the extension.

07 · FAQ
Questions, answered.
Which browsers does it work in?
Desktop Chrome and Edge, version 137 or newer. A recent graphics chip (WebGPU) makes it fast; without one it runs on the processor, more slowly.
Where do I get it?
From the Chrome Web Store, for free. Edge installs it from the same page: allow extensions from other stores when Edge asks, then click Get.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. There are no ads, no paid tiers and no account.
Does it work on YouTube?
Not yet. Twitch comes first; YouTube is on the roadmap.
Is Wardeye made by Riot Games?
No. Wardeye is a fan project. Riot Games does not endorse or sponsor it: see the notice at the bottom of this page.
Is Wardeye part of Gradeon?
No. It is a community project by the person who makes Gradeon.
Can it see players' hands?
No. It reads only the table camera. Hand cams, face-down cards and the hand lists a broadcast shows are never processed.
Does any video leave my computer?
No. Recognition runs in your browser, and nothing is uploaded. The extension keeps no history.
