Padel Pointer is a scoring and analytics platform for padel players, featuring an Apple Watch app that tracks scores, server, side, and rotation without interrupting play. Match data syncs to iPhone for post-match debriefs and long-term performance trends locked in iCloud, while Padel Pointer Studio generates transparent video scoreboard overlays from match timestamps for creators using editors like Final Cut and DaVinci Resolve.

Problem
Padel players often lose track of the score during fast-paced matches, and relying on memory or disruptive phone-based scoring breaks concentration and skews match results. After the match, there is no simple way to reconstruct the score timeline, review individual points, or overlay the score onto recorded footage for analysis or content creation.
Solution
Padel Pointer is an Apple Watch and iPhone app that lets players score every point directly from their wrist—no phone needed in hand—so the score, server, side, and rotation are recorded naturally during play. After the match, the app synchronizes the full match timeline to the iPhone, where players can debrief the result, view stats, and track trends across performances over time. The companion Padel Pointer Studio is a web workspace that turns the Apple Watch-recorded score and point timestamps into a polished, transparent video scoreboard overlay, which can be placed above recorded match footage in post-production editors. This workflow keeps all scoring mechanics out of the player's way during the match and brings the detail back afterward for review, improvement, and video creation.
Target Audience
Primary users are recreational and competitive padel players who want accurate match scoring and performance insights, alongside padel video creators and coaches who need to add professional scoreboard overlays to recorded matches for YouTube, highlights, or training footage.
