PadelClippy turns your iPhone into a smart highlight recorder for padel. The problem: 60 minutes of footage, good shots buried in the middle. The solution: Point your phone at the court. After a great point, tap your Apple Watch or hold up your hand - the last 30 seconds are saved as a clip. Features: buffer recording, Watch trigger, hand gesture detection, clip editor, community playlist upload. Built by a solo indie dev. Free to try, Pro for unlimited clips.
I built PadelClippy because I was tired of missing my best shots on the padel court. You know the feeling - you play an incredible point, but your phone was recording the wrong angle, or you forgot to hit record, or
worse... the storage was full.
How it works:
- Point your phone at the court and start recording
- Tap your Apple Watch or hold up your hand ✋ to clip the last 30 seconds
- The app automatically detects rallies and creates highlights
- Trim and export your best moments
What makes it different:
- No post-game editing - clips are created in real-time
- Works completely offline on the court
- Hand gesture detection means you don't even need your watch
Free to try with 2 hours of recording per month. Pro unlocks unlimited recording for a one-time €5.99.
No subscription!
