About
Who serves, from where. Tap the half of the court that won the rally.
Tallyline turns your Apple Watch into a scorekeeper for pickleball, padel and tennis. It is built from the published rulebooks and forgives every mis-tap.
THE COURT ON YOUR WRIST The watch face is the court: their half on top, yours below. Tap the half that won the point. A small court diagram puts the ball on the player who serves next, in the box they serve from, so "4-2-1, Ana serves from the right" is one glance.
THE RULES, DONE FOR YOU • Pickleball: classic doubles scoring with server 1 and 2 and the 0-0-2 start, singles, and rally scoring. Games to 11, 15 or 21, win by 2 or by 1. • Padel: advantage, golden point and the 2026 star point, with the deuce 1, 2, 3 ladder counted for you. Tie-breaks, super tie-break to 10 and mini sets. • Tennis: advantage and no-ad, tie-break serving order, match tie-break to 10 or 7, short sets, and who serves first in the next set. • Change-ends reminders, set point and match point, and the receivers' choice on deciding points.
MIS-TAPS ARE FINE Undo is always on screen, even on the game-end card. Long-press for the Fix sheet: rewind any number of points, set the server and side, edit the score or change the format mid-match. Finished too early? Reopen the match.
HANDS-FREE Optional call-outs say the score after every point in the right words for each sport, from the watch speaker or your earbuds. Haptics tell your point from theirs without looking. The Digital Crown never changes the score.
A REAL WORKOUT Each match runs as a workout, so the app stays on screen between points and the match is saved to Health with your heart rate. Heart rate stays on your own devices.
ON YOUR IPHONE Match history, the ladder for every match, a live courtside board, the call-out log, a rules guide with plain answers and sources, and a share card for the group chat.
