A pickleball scorekeeper with a referee in its pocket. Tap to score — or prop up your phone and let Gemma call every rally for you.
Note: traditional side-out scoring (server-only points) is on the roadmap.
Most pickleball apps were built like spreadsheets — small buttons, tiny digits, awkward menus you cannot read at arm's length on a sun-soaked court. RALLY is the opposite. The whole screen is two giant tap targets. You score from anywhere on the baseline. The phone speaks every point aloud so nobody has to squint to check.
Under the hood it knows the rules. Rally scoring to 11, win by 2, best of 3 — game and match auto-detect, the winner gets announced, the next game resets itself. Undo is one tap. Reset is one tap. There is no account, no login wall, no ad row, no upsell modal hijacking the post-point screen.
And if you want to stop tapping entirely, the AI Ref (currently in beta for singles) will watch the rally through your phone's camera and call the winner of every point for you. You prop up the phone, you play, the score takes care of itself.
Traditional pickleball uses side-out scoring — only the serving side can score, and the call is three numbers long (server score, receiver score, server number). Rally scoring is simpler: every rally produces a point for somebody, the call is two numbers, and the game moves quicker. The PPA Tour now broadcasts rally scoring for the same reason. RALLY runs rally scoring by default. Side-out is on the roadmap.
Search "pickleball apps" and you get court finders, social networks, drill libraries and calorie counters. What you almost never get is a pickleball score app that just works the moment you open it — no signup, no sport selection wizard, no permissions prompt before you can hit the first point. RALLY opens at the scoreboard. That is the entire app.
The pickleball scorekeeping app you actually wanted is small, loud, and stupid-fast. RALLY weighs less than a single web page, caches itself for offline play after the first load, and never asks for an email address. If it ever does, something has gone terribly wrong.

RALLY is a free pickleball score app built for the court: two huge tap targets, voice score calls, rally scoring to 11 (win by 2, best of 3) baked in, no account, no ads. It works offline after the first load and runs on any phone browser.
Rally scoring means a point is awarded on every rally, regardless of who served. First side to 11 wins the game, but you must win by a margin of 2. Tied at 10? Play on until someone leads by two clear points. Matches are best of 3 games.
Traditional pickleball uses side-out scoring, where only the serving side can score. Rally scoring awards a point on every rally to whoever wins it. Rally scoring is faster, easier to follow, and the format the PPA Tour uses on broadcast.
Not yet. The AI Ref is currently optimised for pickleball singles. Doubles detection is in development. For doubles, use the manual two-tap pickleball scoreboard — it still calls every score out loud.
"Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America. It deserves a scoreboard that doesn't feel like 1998."
