Every parent on the sideline has the same problem: game photos scattered across the camera roll, videos buried in a random folder, and the scorecard living on a website that'll be gone in a year. MatchReel brings it all into one place — organized by game — so the story of a season, and a childhood, doesn't get lost. HOW IT WORKS On game day, create a game in seconds: pick the sport, add the opponent, venue, and result. Attach the photos and video clips straight from your camera roll. Paste the link to the online scoreboard and save a screenshot of it too, so the game data is always there — even years later, even if the website isn't. Every game becomes a small, permanent record: the result, the story in your own words, and the memories that go with it. WHAT'S INSIDE Track any sport — cricket, soccer, basketball, baseball, tennis, and more. Attach unlimited photos and videos from your library. Link and archive the online scoreboard for every game. Add a one-line summary for the moment worth remembering. Scroll a season-by-season timeline of your athlete's whole journey. Works completely offline — perfect for fields with no signal. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS MatchReel has no accounts, no cloud, and no data collection. Everything you add lives on your device, under your control, for as long as you want it. MatchReel was built by a cricket dad who wanted one place to keep it all. We hope it does the same for your family.
