An empty pickleball court at golden hour. A phone on a small tripod at the baseline records in DinkReel; a ball rests by the kitchen line.

The camera that knows what a point is.

Film the game. Tap MARK on the great points. DinkReel hears every rally, trims the clips, and stitches the reel — on your iPhone. No upload, no account, no waiting.

Rally scope

Your points

  1. Your points print here.
A live model of how DinkReel listens. Optic ticks are ball strikes; a rally closes after 3.5 s of quiet. Press MARK (or the M key) after a good rally, and the scope brackets the point.

How it works

It cuts itself while you play.

  1. A hand sets a phone on a mini tripod at the edge of the court. DinkReel is recording: the court in frame lines, the sound strip, and the MARK key.

    Film

    Tripod up, hit record, go play.

  2. At sunset, a thumb presses a small black Bluetooth remote beside a paddle and a ball on a courtside bench.

    Mark

    Tap MARK on the great points — or click a Bluetooth remote. Miss one? DinkReel hears the rallies and finds them for you.

  3. On a courtside bench, a phone stands between two paddles, a ball and a water bottle. It shows DinkReel's Your reel is ready screen.

    Share

    Stop recording and every point is trimmed, ranked, and cut into a share-ready reel.

Your reel: three points bracketed on a strip of the whole game, each trimmed with its shot count and score call, plus More points (4) for the rallies you didn't mark.

On-device AI

Everything the reel needs.

  • Auto rally detection

    It hears the ball. Every rally found from the sound of play — no scrubbing.

  • One-tap reel

    Full reel or a ~60-second Social cut, crossfades and all.

  • The Cut Room

    Every point trimmed and ranked the moment you stop. Drag handles to fine-tune.

  • Bluetooth remote

    Any cheap Bluetooth camera-shutter clicker (about $10) marks from across the court — or just use your volume button.

  • Mark by shouting ProBeta

    Yell “mark!” after a great point. DinkReel hears it in the recording and flags the clip — no tap, no clicker.

  • It hears the score ProBeta

    You call the score before every serve — DinkReel reads it and stamps each clip. 6–7–1, right on the video.

  • Ball tracer Pro

    A teal ring finds the ball and a fading line follows its flight, burned into every reel and clip.

  • GoPro or any camera Pro

    Film on a GoPro, mark on your phone. DinkReel lines the two up by sound and cuts your points from the GoPro video.

  • Straight to Photos

    Clips land in your camera roll, ready for the group chat, TikTok, Instagram.

  • 100% on-device

    No account. No upload. Your footage never leaves your phone.

Ball tracer Pro

Follow the ball.

A ball in flight over the net of a golden-hour court, seen from behind the baseline. A teal ring circles the ball and a fading teal line follows its arc.

On-device. Always.

The reel's ready before you unclip the tripod.

Uploading a 3 GB game over court LTE — then waiting on a server to process it — kills the moment. By the time the reel is ready, everyone's packed up and driven home. DinkReel's AI runs right on your iPhone: it hears the rallies, trims each point, and stitches the reel in seconds. No account to create, no progress bar to watch, nothing leaving your phone — and because there are no servers to run, the free tier is genuinely useful.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does it need internet?

No. Nothing runs in the cloud — recording, rally detection, trimming, and reel-building all happen on your iPhone. The only thing that touches the internet is the one-time App Store purchase.

Which phones does it work on?

iPhone, running iOS 17 or later. DinkReel is iPhone-only.

Do I need a remote to mark points?

No. Auto rally detection finds every point even if you never mark — marking just tells DinkReel which points you loved. If you want to mark from across the court, DinkReel works with any cheap Bluetooth camera-shutter remote (about $10 online) or your phone's volume buttons — free. Voice marking — shout “mark!” — is a Pro beta.

Does it record sound?

Yes — audio is captured with the video. The microphone is how DinkReel hears the rallies and finds each point.

Where do my videos go?

Your recordings stay inside the app on your phone. Exported clips and reels save to your Photos, ready to share.

Is Pro a subscription?

No. Pro is a one-time purchase. Your first 3 highlight reels are free; after that, buy Pro once for unlimited reels and keep it forever.

How do I get a refund or support?

Purchases go through Apple, so refunds do too — request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. Any other questions? The Support page has answers and my email.
