About

Squadel

Squadel is a padel app for your squad — the four (or six, or eight) friends you play with every week. Keep score on your watch and watch the big points back afterwards. Anyone not playing can follow along live, and when it's done you get an AI-written recap of the match. It's not a court-booking marketplace; it's an app for running your own squad. WATCH IT BACK Score a match on your watch and Squadel builds a replay of it: the momentum swings, the breaks, the set points, the comeback that nearly came off. Scrub through it point by point, with your heart rate laid over the big moments. A match reads very differently when you can see how it unfolded. TUNE IN LIVE Sitting this one out? Follow the score live on your phone and cheer with a tap. Your reaction floats over the board for everyone watching and flashes up on the wrist of whoever's keeping score — they keep their eyes on the court and still know you saw that lob. SCORE ON YOUR WRIST Keep score on Apple Watch, point by point, no phone needed. Pick who serves, fix the rotation if it goes wrong, choose golden point or tie-break. Turn on voice call-outs and the watch reads the score back between points, hands free. When the match ends it syncs to your phone with a full report: the scoreline, an AI recap of how it went, the momentum swings and turning points, plus your heart rate over the match and the calories you burned. AFTER EVERY SESSION Play a few games in one evening and Squadel rolls the lot into a single report: standings if partners rotated, the highlights, and an AI recap of the night. Beats scrolling back through five separate results to work out who beat who. YOUR SQUAD'S FEED Every game lands in a feed the whole squad can see: who played, who won, who's on a streak, who just got bagelled. React with emoji, comment on any game or result, talk tactics (and talk trash) in the squad chat and per-game threads, then vote for the session MVP. KNOW YOUR GAME Proper padel stats from every match: points won on serve and return, break points, hold percentage, your momentum through the match, head-to-head records, and which partner you win more with. Your skill level updates as you play, a trend shows whether you're improving, and a Performance rating shows how many points you add when you're on court. All of it on a personal stats page you'll keep coming back to. YOUR SQUAD, ORGANIZED Create your squad, invite your friends and set up games, one-off or repeating weekly. Watch the spots fill as people tap in, get a heads-up when two games clash, split the court cost fairly even when someone sits out, and settle up with a who-owes-who ledger. RUN THE NIGHT For socials, spin up an Americano or Mexicano in seconds. Squadel rotates the partners, keeps a live leaderboard and saves the final standings into your squad's history. Nobody has to do the math on a scrap of paper. PLAY FOR SOMETHING Squad standings, duos, rivalries and win streaks. Organizer-run seasons that end with a frozen final table and a champion. Achievements and badges that unlock retroactively, an MVP vote after every session, and a year-in-review to share. Squadel is native and fast, and it's made for people who play every week. SQUADEL PRO Squadel is free to use.
