About

CourtFlow

Features
Read full description

CourtFlow is a basketball play designer for coaches who draw on a clipboard between whistles. Build a play the way you explain it: one step at a time. Place your five, draw the cut, add the screen, make the pass, then add the next step. Every step carries your own coaching note, so the play still makes sense to an assistant at 6am, or to you next season. DRAW WHAT YOU ACTUALLY RUN - Cuts, screens, passes, dribbles, handoffs, shots and fakes - Half court or full court - NBA, NCAA and high school three-point lines - Mark secondary reads as options, so a play can show the first look and the counter on the same diagram - Play it back at 0.5x, 1x or 1.5x to check the timing SHARE IT THE WAY YOUR TEAM READS - Export a clean multi-page PDF for the binder or the pregame sheet - Export a vertical 1080x1920 video built for a phone screen, so a play lands in a group chat instead of a folder nobody opens EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE There is no CourtFlow account and no sign-up. Your plays are stored on your iPhone or iPad. We have no server, collect no analytics, use no ad networks and no tracking. Nothing you draw is ever uploaded to us. FREE - Up to 5 saved plays - Full editor and playback - PDF export COURTFLOW PRO - Unlimited plays - Vertical video export - An experimental AI play generator: describe a situation in plain language ("sideline out of bounds against a 2-3 zone") and get a first draft you then edit by hand. It is bring-your-own-API-key, so requests go from your device straight to the provider you choose, under your own account. We never see your prompts and never mark up the cost. SUBSCRIPTION CourtFlow Pro is USD 59.99 per year, an auto-renewing subscription billed to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.
