CourtTap: Tennis Score

Score tennis on Apple Watch and review sets on iPhone. Add players and court notes, start a tiebreak to 7 or 10, and optionally view workout metrics and estimated steps.

CourtTap is an Apple Watch tennis scorekeeper with an iPhone match-history companion. Record points with a tap, then review the match and add details on your phone. No account is required, and no score or health data is uploaded to a developer server.

Score on Apple Watch:

• Advantage and Deciding Point scoring, including standard 6–6 tiebreaks.
• Undo, score correction, and individual set scores in a compact interface.
• End a non-tied set between games at its current score, such as 4:1, and start the next set.
• Start a tiebreak to 7 or 10 when games are tied and points are 0:0. Win by two points.
• Record unlimited sets. You decide when to end the match and whether to save or discard the score.
• Optional HealthKit tennis workouts prioritize duration and heart rate on screen. Active energy is displayed when space permits; when hidden, it is still collected and saved to Health.
• Workout metrics are display-only. Choose End Workout in Match Options (ellipsis) and confirm to save the workout and continue scoring.

Review on iPhone:

• Receive saved matches from your paired Watch, including set scores, tiebreak results, sets ended early, and unfinished sets.
• Add singles or doubles, participant names, court information, and notes locally. No Contacts access is used, and annotations do not change Watch scores.
• Choose to read Health data to view available workout duration, active energy, and average/maximum heart rate.
• View estimated steps during the match recording interval, including rest time. This is not an exact count of tennis-only footwork.
• Read installation help and the privacy policy offline in the app.

Install the Watch app:

1. Download CourtTap from the App Store on iPhone.
2. With Watch app → General → Automatic App Install enabled, the system installs the compatible Watch app automatically.
3. Otherwise use Watch app → My Watch → Available Apps → CourtTap → Install.

The system controls installation and delivery timing. Matches are stored locally. Keep scoring and reading previously received history while disconnected, then refresh after reconnecting. Watch is the score authority: deleting a match there removes the corresponding iPhone copy and notes after sync. Workouts already in Health are not deleted. Uninstalling an app removes its local data; recovery of history from an uninstalled Watch app is not guaranteed.

Health access is optional and is not required for scoring. Health data may arrive later than scores; missing values are shown as unavailable, not zero. Match recording and workout duration can differ. After CourtTap successfully starts a workout, do not also record the same session in Apple’s Workout app, to avoid session conflicts or duplicate entries.
