Everything on one screen
The game clock, the shot clock, the score and every player's fouls, with no navigating anywhere. Undo is permanently on screen, because at this speed registration mistakes are constant.
It knows who is one foul away
The panel turns amber the moment a player is one foul from going off and red once they are out. The bonus lights when a team reaches the penalty situation, so nobody counts team fouls in their head.
Your rules, not just FIBA's
Periods, foul limits, the bonus threshold, the shot clock and its reset, time-outs per half — all configurable, with presets for FIBA, youth formats and minibasket, and both the 2024 and 2026 editions of the rules.
An Apple Watch that works alone
Start, referee and finish a game from your wrist with the phone off. Distinguishable haptics tell you the shot clock buzzed, a player fouled out or a team entered the bonus, without looking.
The report before you leave
A professional PDF: score by period, points and fouls per player, team fouls, time-outs, incidents and a signature line for each official.
Nothing is collected
No account, no analytics, no servers of ours. Your games stay on your device, and on your own private iCloud if you turn sync on.
