The sports app that doesn't keep kids glued to their phones. Open it, see who won, put the phone down. There is no feed to scroll, no alerts pulling you back, no betting odds on any screen, and no live play by play to sit and watch. That is the whole design. WHILE A GAME IS ON You see the score and the period. Nothing else. There is nothing to refresh and nothing unfolding to keep you there. WHEN THE GAME IS FINAL The full box score unlocks. Real player lines, not summaries: batting and pitching for MLB, goals, assists and time on ice for NHL, minutes, points, rebounds and shooting for NBA, and passing, rushing and receiving for NFL. EVERY GAME, FOUR LEAGUES NHL, NBA, MLB and NFL. Scores, standings and a two week schedule. Mark your teams as favorites and they pin to the top. BUILT WITHOUT THE USUAL No account and no login. No analytics, no crash reporting and no tracking of any kind. No push notifications. No advertising. No permissions requested: not location, not contacts, not your camera. Your settings stay on your phone and are deleted with the app. Dark or light, your choice. Made by a parent who wanted his son to be able to check a score without handing him something engineered to keep him there.
