Padeuce is a padel scorekeeper for the person actually on court. Tap once per point. That's the entire job. The app handles deuce, golden points, tiebreaks, super tiebreaks, side swaps, server rotation, and which doubles player should be on which side. You play; it keeps up. Score without looking at your phone The volume buttons award points. Left team, right team, long-press to undo. Stick the phone in your pocket, clip it to the net post, or pair a cheap Bluetooth volume remote — you'll never break a rally to scroll a UI again. The score is also announced out loud after each point, and it knows when it's set point or match point. Anyone can watch, no app required Every match gets a live share link. Send it to WhatsApp, your group chat, your partner who couldn't make it — they open it in a browser and see the score update in near real time. Sets, games, current points, who's serving, momentum. Built for real padel Pick from Standard, Super Tiebreak, Golden Points, Quick Match, or a 30-minute Time Challenge. Or build a custom format: time limit, games per set, deuce vs golden point, tiebreak on or off, super tiebreak in the decider. Side-swap rules are configurable and the app can learn your preference from how you swap manually. For clubs Print a QR code, tape it to the fence. Spectators scan it to see the live score on whichever court it's on. Scorers scan the same code to open the app pre-bound to that court — and during a tournament, the day's ruleset and enrolled teams are already loaded. A few notes - Landscape only when scoring. The screen is designed to be readable from across the court in direct sun. - The screen stays awake during a match. - We're a small team shipping weekly. Full tournament brackets and deep player stats aren't here yet — they're being built. Made by productive.me near Cape Town. Questions, requests, or bug reports — we read everything.
