Every frame. Your story. BaizeBook makes it easy to keep score while you play snooker. Add your players, choose your format and get straight to the table. SCORE YOUR WAY Tap the balls you pot to follow the score and current break, or use the traditional scoreboard to adjust points manually. Choose 1–15 reds, a best-of match, or an open session when you are playing until time runs out. KEEP THE DETAILS CLOSE See whose turn it is, your lead or deficit, points remaining and frame time. Tap a player to change turns. Record fouls, free balls, multiple reds and replay decisions with clear controls. Undo and redo scoring actions. Pausing a frame stops its timer until you resume. FOLLOW YOUR FORM Each player has a personal record of their highest break, matches played, wins, frame results and break milestones. Review a frame story with visits and potted balls. Add past games, edit saved frame scores and breaks, or remove a match from your history. Manual score adjustments do not count as breaks. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch companion shows your active frame, scores, current break and timer. With both apps connected, record pots, switch turns, undo and manage fouls from your watch. BRING YOUR HISTORY WITH YOU Import SnookerMate JSON exports or BaizeBook backups. Preview an import before adding it to your history. Export your own backup to Files or share it with another device. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No accounts, advertisements, subscriptions or analytics. Players and matches are stored locally on your devices. Scoring works offline, and you can clear your local data in Settings. Free to use. Requires iOS 17 or later. Apple Watch companion requires watchOS 10 or later and a paired iPhone. Liquid Glass styling is available on iOS 26 or later.
