About this app
Serve is a scorekeeping app for tennis, pickleball and padel from 1881 Digital. It scores by each sport's own rules rather than just counting points. For tennis, that means deuce and advantage, no-ad deciding points, set and match tiebreaks, and a service rotation that stays correct through tiebreaks and undos. For pickleball, it handles rally or side-out scoring, server one and two, and which side of the court each player should be on. For padel, it supports golden point and doubles service order. You can score from an Apple Watch on its own, even with your iPhone in a bag, and the watch syncs later. Home Screen widgets, a Live Activity, Siri and Shortcuts let you add points without opening the app. Every point is saved as soon as you tap. You can undo points or correct one later from the match history without breaking the score that followed. The app needs no account and keeps match data on your devices. The free version covers all three sports, standard scoring, full Watch scoring and your five most recent matches, and may show a labelled banner ad. Serve Pro, sold as a subscription or a lifetime purchase, adds unlimited history, custom formats, a point-by-point timeline and head-to-head stats.
App Store descriptionWritten by the developer.
Use Serve courtside on iPad, with spacious score cards and an optional keep-awake mode. Share a finished match as a result image, with player names included only when you choose. SCORE WHERE YOU PLAY Award points and undo from Home Screen widgets on iPhone and widgets on Apple Watch. Follow and score your match with a Live Activity. Start matches, check scores, and control scoring with Siri and Shortcuts. Large scoring widgets include extra-large portrait on iOS 27. PERSONAL RECORD WIDGETS Serve Pro adds Personal Record and Rivalry widgets. View wins, losses, recent form, and head-to-head results with sport and period filters. Serve keeps score the way the rulebook says, for tennis, pickleball, and padel. No sign-in, no cloud, no wondering who serves next. Most scorekeepers just count. Serve understands the game it's scoring. TENNIS Deuce and advantage, no-ad deciding points, set tiebreaks and match tiebreaks, best of 3 or 5, and service rotation that survives every tiebreak and every undo. PICKLEBALL Rally or side-out scoring, server number one and two, and the court side each player should be standing on. It is always obvious who serves next. PADEL Golden point, doubles service order, and the formats padel clubs actually play. SCORE FROM YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app is not a remote control. Start a match, score every point, review the history with the Digital Crown, and finish the match with your iPhone in your bag, in the car, or dead. Scores sync back when the two are together again. BUILT NOT TO LOSE A POINT Every match is written to your device the moment you tap. Undo any point. Correct a point hours later from your history without breaking the score that followed it. Nothing is ever silently overwritten. YOUR SEASON Match history by sport and format, head-to-head records, total time on court, and saved players for the people you play with most. FREE All three sports. Standard scoring. The complete Apple Watch experience. Your five most recent matches. No account required, ever. Free users may see one labeled, privacy-respecting banner. SERVE PRO Unlimited match history, custom formats and scoring presets, full point-by-point timeline with corrections, head-to-head statistics, and an ad-free experience. Available as an annual subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. PRIVACY Your scores, player names, point history, and match history live on your devices. Serve has no accounts and uses no cross-app tracking. Limited product analytics never include match content.
