The padel scoreboard that never argues
Tap to score. Golden point, tiebreaks and sets handle themselves, so nobody has to remember whether it was 30–40 or deuce.
Coming soon
Padelmatic Pro for iPhone and Apple Watch. No account needed to score.
The problem
Because memory is a terrible referee
Somebody is certain it was 30–40. Somebody else is certain it was deuce. The rally was four minutes ago, nobody filmed it, and the point goes to whoever sounds most sure.
Meanwhile the match has stopped, and the two of you are having a conversation instead of playing padel.
Padelmatic keeps the score instead — for club doubles, league nights, and any four players who would rather play than adjudicate.
Why Padelmatic
Everything a padel match needs
Golden point
Settled before the first serve instead of argued at 40–40. Advantage and star point are there too.
Super tiebreak
The decider ends in ten points, not another forty minutes. Or play it out in full, if you have the legs.
Undo any point
One tap back, as many times as you need. Nothing is unrecoverable.
Apple Watch
Score from your wrist between rallies, without leaving the court.
Match history
Every set you have played, kept on device. Sign in only if you want it on more than one.
Works offline
No signal in the cage, no problem. Nothing here needs the network.
Americano scoring
The social format too — a total point target and a set number of serves each, not just sets and games.
Share the result
A card with the final score, ready to drop into the group chat that has been arguing about it.
Levels and challenges
53 achievements across bronze, silver and gold, plus daily and weekly challenges, so an ordinary Tuesday match still counts for something.
Under the hood
Why you can trust the number
One engine, both devices
The phone and the watch run the same scoring code — a single shared Swift package, not two implementations that can drift apart. They cannot disagree about a score.
226 automated tests
Advantage, golden point, tiebreaks, super tiebreaks and undo each have their own tests, because a scoreboard that is wrong once is never trusted again.
Your history stays put
Matches are kept on your device. Signing in is optional and exists only to carry them to a second one.
Beyond the score
Every match counts for something
The scoreboard is the job. The rest is what makes a Tuesday night worth logging: a level that climbs as you play, 53 achievements across bronze, silver and gold, and challenges that reset daily, weekly and monthly.
Statistics too — how your matches actually go, not just who won.
How it works
Three steps to a running match
No sign-up wall, and no setting you have to go hunting for later. Pick the format, pick who serves, and the scoreboard is live.
Pick the format
One set or best of three. Golden point or advantage. Super tiebreak for the decider, or a full set.
Choose who serves
Tap the pair starting the match. The serving indicator follows the rotation from there without being told again.
Tap to score
Your half of the court is the button. Games, sets and the match advance on their own.
Padel scoring, explained
How padel scoring works
Padel borrows tennis scoring and then changes the endings. These are the rules Padelmatic implements, in the order they bite during a match.
Points in a game
A game runs 15, 30, 40, game — the same ladder as tennis. The first pair to take four points wins the game, provided the endings below agree.
- 0
- Love
- 1
- 15
- 2
- 30
- 3
- 40
What happens at 40–40
This is the one decision that changes how a padel match feels, and it is made before the first serve rather than argued about at the net.
- Advantage
- Classic tennis. A pair must win by two clear points.
- Golden point
- Punto de oro. The very next point takes the game. Standard in most amateur padel and on the professional tour.
- Star point
- Punto estrella. Scored exactly like a golden point; the difference is a prompt in the app, not a change to the maths.
Games in a set
A set goes to six games with two games clear. At six games all the set is decided by a tiebreak, first to seven points with a two-point margin.
- Set
- First to 6 games, win by 2
- At 6–6
- Tiebreak to 7, win by 2
Sets in a match
Padelmatic plays one set or best of three. When the match reaches a deciding set you can play it out in full, or replace it with a super tiebreak — first to ten points, still by a margin of two.
- 1 Set
- One set decides the match
- Best of 3
- First pair to two sets
- Super tiebreak
- Deciding set becomes a first-to-10
On the wrist
Score from your wrist
Between rallies you have a few seconds and one free hand. That is the whole design brief for the watch app: the score, who serves, and a target big enough to hit without looking twice.
What it costs
Padelmatic Pro
Padelmatic is a paid app, and it is worth saying so before you reach the App Store rather than after. Scoring a match needs Pro. There are two ways to have it, and one of them ends.
One paymentLifetime
$19.99 onceBuy it once and the app is yours for good. Nothing renews, nothing to cancel, nothing to remember. One payment, yours forever.
SubscriptionWeekly
$6.99 a weekFor a single tournament weekend. Renews until you cancel, and you can cancel from the App Store at any time.
Three weeks of the weekly plan costs more than buying it outright, so if you play through a season the one-off payment is the cheaper answer. We would rather say that here than let you work it out afterwards.
Prices in US dollars. The App Store charges you in your own currency and shows the exact amount before you confirm anything.
Questions
Frequently asked
Is Padelmatic free?
No. Scoring a match needs Padelmatic Pro: either $19.99 once, or $6.99 a week. There is nothing else to buy inside the app.
What does Padelmatic Pro cost?
Either $19.99 once, which unlocks the app permanently, or $6.99 a week as a subscription you can cancel at any time. Those are US dollar prices; the App Store charges you in your own currency and shows the amount before you confirm.
When is Padelmatic available?
Soon. The iPhone and Apple Watch apps are built; the listing is not on the App Store yet. This page will carry the download link the day it is.
Do I need an account to use it?
No. You can start scoring a match straight away without signing up. Signing in is optional and only exists so your match history can follow you onto more than one device.
Does Padelmatic work without an internet connection?
Yes. Scoring, match history and every setting work fully offline. Padel courts are often enclosed and short on signal, so nothing in the match flow depends on the network.
What is a golden point in padel?
A golden point — punto de oro — replaces the advantage rule. When a game reaches 40–40, the very next point wins it outright instead of a pair having to go two clear. It keeps matches to a predictable length, which is why it is standard in amateur padel and on the professional tour.
Can I undo a point I scored by mistake?
Yes. Undo steps back one point at a time and can be used repeatedly, including back across game and set boundaries.
Does Padelmatic work on Apple Watch?
Yes. The watch app shows the live score and the serving indicator, and lets you add points without taking your phone out of your bag.
What match formats does Padelmatic support?
One set or best of three, with advantage, golden point or star point at 40–40. Sets run to six games with a tiebreak to seven at 6–6, and the deciding set can be played in full or as a super tiebreak to ten.
