ScoreDock

ScoreDock is a scoreboard for the person actually running the game. Pick your sport, set the rules, and score. The board is big enough to read from across a hall, and it goes on a TV or a projector over AirPlay or a cable while the controls stay in your hand. 37 SPORTS, OUT OF THE BOX Basketball, football, netball, handball, water polo, hockey, futsal and a dozen more team scoreboards. Tennis, volleyball, badminton, squash, table tennis and darts. League tables, leaderboards, knockout brackets and score sheets. Chess clocks, race timers, American football, cricket and baseball, each on a board built for that sport rather than a generic one. Every rule is editable, and every match keeps the rules it was played under. A BOARD PEOPLE CAN READ Twelve themes, each checked to a 7:1 contrast minimum between the digits and the background. A real seven-segment display face, with the unlit segments showing behind the score the way a venue board does. Turn the phone to fill the screen, or send the board to a TV and keep the controls on the phone. A CLOCK THAT IS ACTUALLY RIGHT The clock is anchored to real time, not counted down by the app. Lock the phone, take a call, force-quit — the clock is still correct when you come back, and a match left running is offered again next time you open the app. EVERY GAME, SAVED Every action is recorded with both the time of day and the game clock, so a disputed call lines up against video afterwards. Unlimited undo, and undo is itself part of the record — the log shows what happened, including the corrections. SHARE IT FIVE WAYS A scorecard image for group chats. Plain text that reads inline in any message. A formatted PDF for a league. A CSV of every event for your own analysis. Or the whole match as a file, which a friend with the app opens as a full report. PLAYERS AND TEAMS Save a team once with its colours and crest. Credit points to individual players if you want to — it is off by default, so scoring stays one tap — and their records build up across every match you play. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION Nothing leaves your device except the files you explicitly share. No analytics, no telemetry, no upload, no account, and no network code of any kind. FREE Every feature in this version is free. There is no paywall, no locked feature and no in-app purchase. Hebrew and English, with full right-to-left support.
