The official Kronoset app — the first contactless digital scoreboard for padel, pickleball and Basque pelota. It mounts on the court glass, it's readable from outside, and points go up by holding your paddle to the sensor. No remotes, no buttons, no phone out of your pocket. WHAT THE APP DOES WITH YOUR KRONOSET SCOREBOARD • Pairs over Bluetooth in seconds — no account, no sign-up. • Change the game format from your phone without leaving the court. • Add and take back points from the iPhone or from your Apple Watch. • Record match videos with the score overlaid on the image. • Customize the number colors and create your own game formats. STANDALONE APPLE WATCH MODE And if you don't own a Kronoset scoreboard yet, the app still works: keep the whole match on the watch itself, offline and with nothing to buy. One tap adds a point, press and hold to take it back. 20 regulation formats across 3 sports: • Padel: Classic advantage, Golden point, Golden point + Super tiebreak, Advantage 9 games, American padel and Star Point (FIP 2026). • Pickleball: Singles, Doubles and Rally, each as a single game or best of 3. • Basque pelota: games to 22, 30, 35 or 40 points, and best of 3 sets to 15 or 10 with a short decider. FREE MEANS FREE No weekly subscription, no yearly subscription, no Pro tier that unlocks features. What you see is what you get. No ads, no sign-up. More info and the scoreboard at kronoset.com
