PadelRef
A padel scoreboard that keeps the score for you.
Pick your rules, tap a team after each point, and PadelRef shows the score big, marks who serves next and says the score out loud.
Why I built it
I play padel as an amateur and kept running into the same problem: mid-match, or after a long rally, we’d lose track of the score and stop to work it out again.
So I made PadelRef. You choose advantage, golden point or star point, with or without a super tie-break, and the app scores by those rules. That’s a big help if you’re new to padel and still learning them.
What it does
- Official scoring. Advantage, golden point or star point; best of 3 or 5 sets; tie-break and super tie-break.
- Who serves. Marks who serves next and from which side.
- Voice. Calls the score out loud after every point, in eight languages.
- Hands-free. Score from a Bluetooth remote or an Apple Watch.
- History and stats. Recent matches on the home screen and player statistics.
- Private. No account and no cloud. It works offline and matches stay on the device.
What I built
- The app for iPhone, iPad, Android and Apple Watch.
- The scoring rules, as an open-source engine on npm(opens in new tab) (MIT).
- The website, padelref.live, in Spanish, English and Portuguese.
