Three moves

How the puck works

No menus, no keyboard. The whole interface is one knob and one press — the way a scoreboard should be.

Court loopturn → push → sync

Turn to score

Spin the knob and your team's points climb 0 → 16. Every click is a haptic tick — you feel the score without looking down mid-rally.

Push to lock

Press the knob to lock the game. The puck thunks, the screen confirms, and that result is final — no fat-finger edits between points.

Phone syncs

The locked score flies to the app over BLE. Standings re-rank live, and the next Americano game rotates straight back onto the puck.

The case for a knob

Why not just
the phone?

The app already runs the whole Americano on its own. The puck exists for the ten seconds between points when nobody wants to dig a phone out.

Eyes up

Score by feel between points. No unlocking, no app-switching, no phone in a sweaty hand on a wet court.

Glanceable

A big round score the whole court can read from the baseline. The puck sits on the rail and just shows the number.

No dead phone

Your battery isn't the scoreboard's battery. Leave the phone in the bag — the puck keeps the session alive.

Everyone sees it

One source of truth on the net post. No "wait, what's the score?" — the puck settles it and the phones agree.

Made for Americano

The puck speaks the app's language: rounds, rotations, average points per game. Lock a result, the next pairing appears.

Optional, always

The puck is a companion, never a gate. The Padlano app is free and works on its own — the puck just makes match night smoother.

Straight answers

Before you ask

When does it ship?

Honestly — not yet. The Puck is in development and going through a hardware revision. Get on the list and you'll be the first to know the moment that changes.

Do I need it to use Padlano?

No. The Padlano app runs the whole Americano on its own — free, no login, all on your device. The Puck is a companion, not a requirement.

How does it connect?

Over Bluetooth LE to the Padlano app on your phone. Lock a score on the puck, it lands in the app; the app rotates the next game back to the puck.

What can I do right now?

Play the live demo at the top of this page — that's the real puck-and-phone loop running in your browser. Then open the app and run a session for free.

Will it cost money?

The puck is hardware, so yes — but pricing isn't set while it's in revision. The list is interest-only: no payment, no commitment until there's something to actually order.

Where does my data live?

On your device. Scores, players and your lifetime league stay in your browser — no accounts, no tracking, nothing uploaded unless you choose to share a live link. The puck talks to your phone directly.
