Kitchen is the pickleball scoreboard you'll actually want to use. Two enormous colour blocks. One tap to score. Serve number and side handled for you. No ads, no accounts, no subscription — and now it does a lot more.
ONE TAP, REAL RULES
• Side-out or rally scoring (the 2026 rulebook's provisional format), games to 11, 15 or 21, win by 2.
• Best of 3 or best of 5: Kitchen tracks games, alternates the first server and reminds you to change ends.
• Rulebook presets and a coin flip for who serves first.
• Switch-sides reminder at 6, 8 or 11 — tap Switched and the board flips with you.
• Round-robin countdown with a buzz when time is up.
• Shake or tap to undo. The screen never sleeps mid-match, and a locked phone or a force quit never loses a game — just tap Resume.
SPOKEN SCORE
Turn on Spoken score and Kitchen calls "6, 4, 2" after every rally, like a referee. It respects the silent switch.
APPLE WATCH
Score from your wrist with the same engine as the phone. Kitchen records the match as a pickleball workout — heart rate, calories and Activity rings — and stays awake for the whole game. Finished matches land in your iPhone history, with heart rate and calories on the match.
COURT BOARD
Open Court board on an iPad or a second iPhone on the same Wi-Fi and it mirrors the live score, big enough for the whole court. Scoring on the watch? Your iPhone shows it live too. No setup, no account.
PLAYERS
Type names at match start and Players keeps everyone's wins, losses, win streaks, recent form, doubles partners and head-to-head. Tap a name for their full record and matches.
SHARE
A clean match card with names, games and time for the group chat — or a text summary ready for your DUPR log.
