Your child's stats,
kept on your phone.

Scorebook is an iPhone app for a parent in the stands: tap along during your own child's high-school game and keep their stats for the game, the season and their whole career — without an account, without a signal, and without anything leaving your phone.

Not released yet — there is nothing to download today. The email link opens your own mail app with a message you send (or don't). Nothing on this page collects anything from you.

What it does

As much detail as you feel like keeping.

Some nights you want every possession. Some nights you're holding a little sister's hot chocolate and you'll take the final score. Both are a real game in the app.

✓Score every play

Big buttons you can hit without looking down. Every tap is undoable, and you can go back and correct a game after it's over.

✓Or keep it light

Track only your own player's stats and leave the team score alone — or skip the live scoring entirely and type in the final score and totals afterwards.

✓Game, season, career

Totals and averages per game, per season (school years, so winter sports don't get split in half) and across a career, with win–loss records and splits.

✓Works with no signal

The app never makes a network request. A packed gym with one bar of service, or airplane mode, works exactly the same as anywhere else.

✓Nothing leaves your phone

No account, no sign-in, no server. Your child's name and stats are files in the app on your phone, and they go nowhere until you tap Share yourself.

✓More than one child

Siblings each get their own athlete, their own seasons and their own stats, in the same app.

Sports available today

Seven sports.

Each sport brings its own buttons, its own box score, and its own choice of how closely to follow along. More sports are added as separate pieces, so the ones you already use don't change.

How it works

Four taps and you're scoring.

  1. Pick the sport

    Add your child once — a name is enough — then choose the sport and who they're playing.

  2. Choose how much to track

    Every play, the lighter version, or just the result. You can change your mind mid-game.

  3. Tap during the game

    One big button per thing that happens. Undo is always right there if you mis-tap.

  4. Box score after

    Finish the game and it's filed into the season: box score, play-by-play, season and career totals.

The privacy line, in one sentence.

Scorebook has no accounts, no servers, no ads and no analytics: everything you record is stored in the app on your own iPhone, and the only way any of it moves is when you tap Share or Export and choose where it goes.
