Padelyst
Live padel scoring & tournaments on iPhone + Apple Watch
Score live, sync history, and run tournaments from your wrist or pocket. Generate Americano, Mexicano, and round-robin schedules in seconds.
There are already plenty of padel apps out there, so I didn't set out to reinvent the sport. I just wanted to build the version I'd actually want to use.
The honest part: I'm a senior web developer — back-end and front-end — not a native mobile engineer. The Swift, the iOS app and the watchOS app were all built with Claude Code. I brought the product thinking and the architecture; AI wrote the Swift.
Meet Padelyst 🎾 — live padel scoring for the whole match, not just the phone.
⭐ What makes it different
Beyond simple scoring, Padelyst has a Detailed mode: classify every point as a winner, unforced error or forced error, and get real post-match stats on how you actually played — the kind of insight most padel apps just don't offer.
⌚ On Apple Watch (the heart of it)
• Score right from your wrist — Watch-first, no phone needed
• Runs as a real workout: live heart rate, active calories, Fitness-ring credit
• Score casual matches and live tournament matches on-wrist
📱 On iPhone
• Live scoring (simple or detailed) + full match history that syncs across devices
• Create & run tournaments and open events with a self-join lobby
The whole backend runs on Cloudflare — Workeects powering the real-time live-sessionWebSockets. The iPhone app is the network hub and bridges scores to the Apple Watch over WatchConnectivity, keeping watch, phone and web in sync. One small, edge-deployed stack doing a lot.
It's still early and there's a long road ahead — but it's a real, working product built by one person who just wanted a better way to play.
