Tally

Tally is the fastest, cleanest way to score and track pickleball. Score singles or doubles in seconds. Get DUPR-ready stats, AI match insights, and a clean match history that's yours alone. Built for league nights, open play, and tournament practice — and yes, it works on Apple Watch too. PICKLEBALL, DONE PROPERLY • Singles and doubles, traditional and rally scoring • Full side-out logic, server rotation, and second-server tracking • Match formats: best-of-3 to 11, to 15, to 21, custom • Time-outs, medical time-outs, and side switches • Match recap with shot patterns, streaks, and pace DUPR-READY STATS Tally tracks the stats DUPR players actually care about: opponents, partners, score lines, win rate by side, and rally length. Export a clean match summary you can share with your league — or just keep your own quiet record. (DUPR is a registered rating system; Tally is an independent third-party scorekeeper.) AI MATCH INSIGHTS After each match, Tally surfaces the patterns you'd otherwise miss: serving streaks, scoring runs, momentum shifts, and head-to-head trends across opponents. The kind of post-match read a coach would give you, without needing one. ALSO ON APPLE WATCH If you wear Apple Watch, Tally extends to your wrist — tap to score, glance at the state of the match, and let your phone stay in your bag. Optional, not required. ALSO SUPPORTS Tally also supports tennis, padel, badminton, and table tennis with their own scoring engines — singles, doubles, deuce, ad/no-ad, and game-set-match. Your full racket-sport history, in one app. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • On-device match storage • No login required to score • Optional iCloud sync • No ads, no tracking pixels PREMIUM UTILITY, NOT A SPORTS APP Tally is built for players who want their gear to disappear. Quiet typography, restrained color, instant haptics, and zero noise — so you can focus on the next point. Subscription: Tally Pro unlocks unlimited match history, advanced stats, and DUPR-ready exports. Free tier covers your last 5 matches forever.
