Padelyst
Live padel scoring & tournaments on iPhone + Apple Watch
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.
Tried generating an Americano schedule for our padel group and it popped out clean and ready to share in seconds. The wrist sync is a nice touch for keeping score mid-match without breaking the flow.
Would love a way to share a live match link with spectators so friends not on the court can follow the score in real time. Maybe even let them react or send cheers.
Does the scoring work offline, or does it need a live connection the whole match? Trying to figure out if my score syncs later when I'm back on wifi.
Does the live scoring actually sync between players mid-game, or only at the end of each match? Trying to figure out if I'd still need a separate scoreboard app during fast rounds.
