Built for people who actually play
Dillball starts with the one thing every new player struggles with and grows with you into match reports, stats, open play for the whole gym, and drills. All private, all offline, no account.
The rotation-aware scorekeeper
Singles or doubles, traditional or rally scoring. Dillball tracks the server number, the side, and every side-out, then calls it in plain words with a short why. You tap who won the rally and it works out the rest.
- Handles the confusing second-server move
- A court diagram shows who serves where
- Undo any rally, correct the board mid-game, save the final result
- Opened the app mid-game? Start from the score on the board and the rotation carries on from there
A report after every match, stats over every season
Because Dillball watched every rally, a saved match opens with a real report: how each side held serve, which court they scored from, who closed the game out, and the point it turned on. Those matches then stack up into a private game journal — your win rate, who you win with, who beats you, and where you play best.
- Serve points won, return rallies won, and right vs left court
- Closing points, longest run, biggest lead, and every lead change
- The score each game turned on, plus wire-to-wire wins and comebacks
- Win rate, streaks, recent form, and a weekly play goal that counts days played, not days won
- Breakdowns by partner, opponent, and venue, and a private rating trend, not DUPR
- Played without the app? Log the finished score in ten seconds and it counts in your stats and standings
- Track how points end in Court Mode and the report shows how many points each side gave away
Apple Watch
The whole scoreboard, on your wrist
During a game your phone is in your bag, so Dillball on Apple Watch is the scorekeeper, not a remote: the serve call and side up top, a big score in the middle, and two full-height buttons for who won the rally. It keeps the screen awake through the match and never loses the score.
- Serve, side, and score readable at arm’s length in the sun
- Two big taps, Double Tap, or the Digital Crown to undo
- Runs a pickleball workout so the screen stays awake
- Plays standalone and syncs the result to your iPhone
- Starts from Siri or the Action button on Apple Watch Ultra
Round robin, king of the court, the river, brackets, and playoffs
Add the group and get balanced matchups, fair byes, and live standings. Partners never repeat while a fresh pairing exists, tagged skill levels keep every court competitive, up and down the river settles a mixed-skill night into even courts, and a single-elimination draw with a third-place game reflows itself if you correct a score. When the round robin is done, start playoffs seeded from the standings. Social doubles for four is free; Premium runs up to 24 players on 6 courts. A round timer ends each round on a horn the whole gym can hear, even with the phone locked in a bag.
Late arrivals and early leavers
Someone shows up late or has to go? Add them, mark who left, or change the court count and the rounds still to play are redrawn on the spot. Rounds with a score in them never change, and what someone already played stays in the standings.
Share the schedule
Send the matchups to the group chat as a picture or a text, or have the phone read the round aloud so the whole gym hears who is on which court.
All-time crew standings
Every session your group plays feeds one running table — games, wins, points, and win rate across every night you have played. Read it for one group or for everyone at once.
Replays and session recaps
Every saved match keeps its rally-by-rally score timeline, and after a day of games one shareable recap card sums up the session for the group chat.
Drills and skills
A bundled drill library across dinking, third shots, resets, and footwork, with progress tracking as you improve.
Apple Watch scoring
Score from your wrist with two taps and the serve call, hands free — and start a game with Siri or the Action button. The watch runs a pickleball workout, so your heart rate sits right on the scoreboard.
Court Mode and spoken calls
A black, high-contrast scoreboard with two huge tap zones for scoring in bright sun, plus optional spoken serve and score calls so the group hears it without anyone looking. Turn on point endings and Court Mode also asks whether each point was a winner or the other side’s error.
TV scoreboard and match clock
Connect a display or AirPlay while scoring and the live score fills the screen for the whole court, with a match clock running beside the board on your phone.
Live Activity
The live score on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island so nobody opens the app mid-rally.
Home Screen widgets
Your win rate, record, streak, and weekly goal ring at a glance, plus a one-tap game start from the Home Screen, Lock Screen, or Control Center.
Siri, Spotlight, and Shortcuts
Say “start a game” to Siri, find any saved match in iPhone search, and wire Dillball into your own Shortcuts.
Rules, glossary, and a rotation trainer
The full rulebook, a searchable glossary, and a quiz that drills the side-out rule until it sticks — all free, because teaching the rotation is the whole point.
Groups, export, and backup
Save your regular crew for one-tap sessions, export to CSV, and take a full one-file backup of everything — the backup is free, because your data is yours.
Private by design
No account, no tracking, no ads, no data sale. Everything stays on your device and your own iCloud — even the reminders are scheduled locally, so there is no push server anywhere in the picture.
