About

CourtPulse

Features
Read full description

CourtPulse is a fast, focused scorekeeper made for padel — and it works just as well for tennis, table tennis, badminton, squash, and your own custom point games. The main control is Apple Watch. You keep score during real play without picking up your phone. Two giant tap zones, a clear current point, undo, and a lock screen that ignores accidental wrist touches. Your iPhone or iPad becomes the big court-side board so opponents always see the score. Built for padel: • Padel scoring out of the box — 0/15/30/40 with Deuce, Advantage, optional Golden Point (no-ad), tie-break at 6:6 and super tie-break instead of the final set • Best-of-3 or best-of-5 sets • Singles and doubles (real team names, not just "Player 1 / Player 2") • Serve indicator with the right rotation so you don't lose track between games Real rules for every supported sport: • Tennis — same engine as padel: Deuce, Advantage, no-ad, tie-break, super tie-break • Table tennis — to 11, win by 2, automatic serve switching including the after-10:10 rule • Badminton — to 21, win by 2 • Squash — to 11, win by 2 • Custom — pick target points, sets to win, win-by-two on/off, manual or auto serve Built for play, not for fiddling: • Two huge tap zones on Apple Watch — no tiny buttons during a rally • Lock Mode that survives an accidental palm or wrist hit • Optional "confirm point" mode for nervous tap moments • Haptics on point, undo, game, set, and match • Undo is a real event — it correctly reverses Advantage, completed games, and finished sets • Match auto-saves after every action and restores when the watch wakes from sleep Use your iPhone or iPad as a clear scoreboard: • Open CourtPulse on iPhone or iPad and tap Scoreboard • On Apple Watch, swipe to Controls and tap Connect Board • Enter the six digit Pair Code shown on the watch • Put the iPhone or iPad on a chair, table, or stand near the court • Score on Apple Watch — the big screen updates instantly for everyone to see • By default the iPad scoreboard is view-only so a stray touch can not change the score; you can switch it to controller mode in settings How Live Sync works: • Local-only and turned on per match • Apple Watch ↔ iPhone goes through Apple's WatchConnectivity • iPhone ↔ iPad uses peer-to-peer on your Wi-Fi network (Local Network permission) • If a device disconnects, scoring keeps working locally and re-syncs when the connection comes back • Nothing is sent to any CourtPulse server — there is no server Solo-watch mode: forgot your phone in the locker? Start a match directly on Apple Watch, score the whole match, and sync it to your phone later when you want history. History and stats: • Every finished match is saved with rules, set summaries, final score, duration, and winner • Per-player win/loss and head-to-head views • Filter by sport — see your padel record, then your tennis record Private by design: • No account, no sign-up • No analytics SDKs, no third-party tracking, no ads • Everything is stored locally on your device • Live Sync uses Apple's own connectivity frameworks between your devices One-time purchase. No ads. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions.
