Two zones.
One tap per point.
The watch shows you up top, your opponent below. Tap the half that won the point. It buzzes once for a game, a set and the match — you don't have to look to know it counted.
- Undo
- A tap that lands wrong is a tap you can take back.
- Rules on the watch
- Golden Point, tie-break, number of sets — each switch explained.
- Warm-up timer
- Runs before the match and hands off to scoring on its own.
- As a workout
- Heart rate, calories and active time show up in your stats afterwards.
Tap a half — the real scoring logic runs right here.

The iPhone does
the analysis.
Stand it up and watch along — or look back later at how the evening went.
-
Scoreboard
Stand the phone up at the fence and all four of you can see the score. In landscape it becomes a scoreboard you can read from the other end of the court.
-
Home
Win rate, time on court, winning streak and a calendar marking your playing days. A new match is one tap away.
-
Stats
How your evenings actually went — close, hard-fought, comfortable, dominant. Plus: who you win with, and who makes it tight.
-
History
Every match with its set-by-set score, duration and the rules you played with. Share the result or copy it.
The score sits on your Lock Screen.
While you're scoring, the match shows up as a Live Activity on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Glance at your phone, read the score, keep playing — the app doesn't need to be open.

Eight letters,
and they're watching.
You share a code. Whoever types it in sees your score in real time — from the sideline, from the couch, from the next court over. Let them keep score with you, if you want.
- Made to be called out
- Letters only, no digits, no I, L or O. A code you can shout across the court without spelling it.
- End-to-end encrypted
- The server only relays. It never sees the score.
- No account
- Neither you nor your viewers sign up anywhere.
- Ends with the match
- A room lasts six hours at most — and nothing about it lingers.
Game
Your rules,
not just anyone's.
Set before the first serve, then it runs on its own.
-
Set format
One setBest of 3Best of 5Pro set
From a quick evening match to a long tournament set.
-
Golden Point
At deuce, one point decides it. Or play with advantage instead.
-
Tie-break
On or off — and a super tie-break to 10 in the deciding set, if you want.
-
Singles & doubles
Serve order and side changes follow from it.
-
Simplified scoring
One tap per game instead of per point, when you want it quick.
-
Practice mode
Counts like any match, but stays out of your record. Practice nights won't wreck your win rate.
And otherwise: nothing.
- No account. No sign-up, no email address.
- No ads, no tracking. Not even analytics SDKs.
- Works offline. You don't need signal on the court.
- Your matches stay with you. iPhone and watch exchange them directly. Only live sharing sends anything beyond your devices — and even then, encrypted.
Quick questions.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. The iPhone scores just as well on its own. With the watch, the phone stays in your bag — that is the difference.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. You need no signal on court. Only live sharing with viewers goes out over the wire.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone with iOS 18 or later and Apple Watch with watchOS 11 or later.
Can I score tennis with it?
The scoring is the same: 15, 30, 40, game, set. Golden point, tie-break and number of sets are yours to set — that fits a tennis match too.
How do others watch live?
You share an eight-letter code. Whoever types it on padeltap.de/en/live sees your score in real time — end-to-end encrypted.
Where are my matches kept?
On your device. There is no account and no cloud database. The details are in the privacy policy.
Does PadelTap handle singles?
Yes. Singles and doubles are both built in — serve order and side changes follow from it.
