Matchside is a tennis scoring app for parents. You tap who won each point courtside, and it turns that into a live, animated broadcast with two AI announcers — plus stats, a highlight reel, and a link you can share so family can watch from anywhere. No camera or filming needed.

Matchside is in private beta on iPhone through Apple's TestFlight. Install the free TestFlight app from the App Store, then open the Matchside beta link on your iPhone and tap Accept to install. When the public beta link is live, you'll find it on our home page. TestFlight builds are for testing and expire periodically — you may occasionally need to update to a fresh build.

Set up the match, pick your players, and tap who wins each point as you go. When you're ready to share, Matchside gives you a link — send it to whoever you'd like to watch. They can follow along live or catch the replay afterward. Your matches are saved to your history automatically.

Most often this is the iPhone's ring/silent switch on the side of the phone — flip it so it's not in silent mode, and turn the volume up. Watching inside the Matchside app gives the most reliable sound. If you're watching in a web browser and still hear nothing, try opening the link in the app instead.

Make sure notifications are enabled for Matchside in iPhone Settings → Notifications → Matchside, and that you've accepted the follow invite for the player. Following is invite-only, so you'll only get pings for players you've been invited to follow.

Yes — that's a first principle. The minimum age is 13, and it's built privacy-first: matches aren't public (a broadcast is only reachable with its exact link, and pages aren't search-indexed), following is invite-only, and one-off opponents are shown by first name and rating only — never a full name. We run no ads and never sell data. See the Privacy Policy for details.

You can delete any individual match or player profile from within the app. To delete your entire account, open Settings › Delete account. It's immediate and permanent — it erases your account, every player, every match and its stats, any broadcasts you produced (their share links stop working), and your login itself. There's no waiting period and we can't undo it for you. If you'd rather we did it, email hello@foundryforty1.com from the address on your account. See Privacy → Keeping & deleting data.

Scoring, your full stats, your match history, and watching any broadcast someone shares with you are free — with no cap and no expiry. We charge for two things: producing a new AI broadcast, which costs real GPU and AI time every time it runs, and the Fan Pass, which lets you follow a player and get notified when they go on court. Plans start at $7.99/month, and there is no unlimited tier at any price. You'll always see exactly what a broadcast costs before you spend anything.

One credit produces one AI broadcast. You spend it deliberately — when you tap to produce and share a match — and never by accident; someone watching your match can't spend your credits. Once a broadcast is produced, it's viewable forever by anyone with the link, at no further cost. Subscription credits roll over for one month up to your plan's cap; credits from a pass last as long as that pass's window. Credits aren't money and can't be cashed out or transferred. If a broadcast fails to generate, email us and we'll put the credit back.

To cancel: open the Settings app on your iPhone, tap your name at the top, then Subscriptions, then Matchside, then Cancel Subscription. You keep access until the end of the period you've already paid for. Note that deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.

For a refund: Apple handles all billing for the App Store, so refunds go through them — visit reportaproblem.apple.com and sign in with your Apple Account. If something broke on our end, email hello@foundryforty1.com too and we'll make it right on our side regardless of what Apple decides.

Please tell us — it genuinely helps. Email hello@foundryforty1.com with what happened (and a screenshot if you have one). Beta feedback shapes what we build next.
