Keeping score should not get in the way of the game. Tap the runs as they score. The app does the rest. Baseball Score Tracker counts everything for you: runs, innings, top and bottom and the final result. Your only job is the fun one, watching the runs come in. No account. No ads. No tracking. Free to download and fully offline. MADE FOR BASEBALL Most scoreboards make you do the math. This one knows baseball. Runs, nine innings or your own count, top and bottom and extra innings are all handled for you. Got a call wrong? Undo any tap instantly and the score rolls straight back. BUILT FOR HOW YOU PLAY Set it up the way your group plays and the app follows along: • Nine innings or a custom count • Top and bottom tracked for you • Extra innings on or off • Track two teams or your own lineup Change nothing and the sensible defaults just work. SCORE FROM YOUR WRIST Run the whole match from Apple Watch. Tap the runs as they score and the score stays in sync, so you can leave your phone in your bag. A live scoreboard is always a glance away, and your streak sits on the watch face. SEE YOUR GAME IMPROVE Every match is saved on your device. Look back through your results, win streaks and head to head records against your regular opponents, then open the stats behind each match: runs, scoring innings, results and more. Insights pull every match together so you can watch your form change across the season and spot the patterns behind your best days. YOUR PLAYERS, READY TO GO Save the people and teams you play with most and pick them in a tap when the next match starts. Give everyone a name, keep a roster of regulars, and the app remembers who is who so your history and rivalries stay tidy over time. ACHIEVEMENTS TO CHASE There is always a reason to play one more. Unlock awards as you rack up wins, build streaks and hit milestones, and watch your profile fill in match after match. It turns a casual baseball game into something you want to come back to. PUT IT ON THE BIG SCREEN Send a full screen scoreboard to any TV with AirPlay for game nights, league fixtures and finals. Everyone in the room follows the same live score, in big clear numbers you can read from across the diamond. SHARE THE MOMENT LIVE Share a match so friends and family can follow the score live from their own phone, wherever they are. Hand scoring to a partner, let someone referee, or just let the group watch along, and everyone stays on exactly the same score. LIVE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN While a match is on, the score sits right on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, so a quick glance is all it takes. No unlocking, no digging through the app, the current score is always one look away. ALWAYS A GLANCE AWAY Home and lock screen widgets keep your record and current streak in view, complications put it on your Apple Watch face, and a Siri shortcut starts a match the moment you reach the diamond. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT Everything stays on your device. No sign up, no account, no ads, no data collection. Play offline anywhere, from the diamond to the park. Tap. Score. Play.

About

Dugout

Read full description

Dugout is a fast, private baseball and softball scorekeeper for iPhone. Score a routine play in three taps, get scorebook notation automatically, and keep every stat that matters. No account, no ads, no tracking. SCORE AT THE PACE OF THE GAME • Three-tap scoring for routine plays - built for a live game, not a spreadsheet. • Quick mode or full pitch-by-pitch, your choice. • Undo anything. Edit any play after the fact - the box score and line score recompute instantly. • Substitutions, courtesy runners, DP/Flex, re-entry, mercy rules, pitch limits - the rules engine warns, but you're always right. A REAL SCOREBOOK PAGE • Tap who fielded the ball and the play notates itself the way it's kept on paper: 6-3, F8, 4-6-3 DP, SAC 1-3, 3U. Skip it and scoring is exactly as fast as it was. • Errors read like a scorebook too - 6-E3 when a clean throw is muffed - and a caught stealing or pickoff records the fielders who made the play. • Every plate appearance is notated automatically from what you tapped, never hand-entered. • A printable PDF scorebook with the classic diamond grid: each batter's path around the bases, runs filled in, and totals for every inning and player. STATS THAT ADD UP • Clean box scores for every game. • Season totals for batting, pitching and fielding that recompute live. • Putouts, assists and errors credited to the player who made the play, from the fielders you tap - and they follow a player through a position change. • Advanced numbers when you want them: wOBA, OPS+, wRC+, FIP, BABIP, secondary average, and more - each with a plain-English explanation. • Spray charts on a full field, home runs plotted beyond the wall. SHARE IT • Post-worthy share cards: final score, box score, win probability, spray charts, and player stat lines. • Export a game as a PDF scorebook, or a game or a season as a CSV file - you choose where it goes. YOUR DATA, IN YOUR HANDS • Export a team - roster, seasons, and every game you have scored - to a single file you keep. Put it in Files, iCloud Drive, or anywhere else. • Import it back on a new phone or after a reinstall and everything comes home. • Free, not part of the subscription. Getting your own data out of an app should not cost anything. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No developer server, no analytics, and no trackers. We never see your data. • The App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected." • Your teams and games sync through your own private iCloud account, so they follow you to a new phone. Nothing is ever sent to us. • Works fully offline. No sign-in, no account. • The only servers involved are Apple's own: iCloud for your private sync, and the App Store for purchases. FREE TO START Dugout is free to download and score with. Dugout Pro, an optional subscription, unlocks the full stats suite, sabermetrics, spray charts, the complete share-card suite without the Dugout watermark, the PDF scorebook, and CSV export. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS • Dugout Pro Monthly - $3.99 per month. • Dugout Pro Annual - $14.99 per year. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. • Manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple Account settings. An active subscription can be restored on your other devices.
