Ditch the clipboard. Let the queue run itself.

CourtQueue is the rotation manager for open play. Add your players, tap Start, and it builds fair, skill-balanced games on up to four courts. When a game ends, one tap puts the most-rested four on court, and the next-up list sits on your Lock Screen.

Save & Rotate
When a game ends, enter the score and tap once. The four players who've rested longest walk on.
Built for the person holding the phone

You came to play, not to run a spreadsheet.

Every busy court has one organizer keeping a list in the Notes app and trying to remember whose turn it is. CourtQueue does that part so you can get back on court.

One-tap rotation

Game over? Score it, tap once, next four are on.

Tap End Game, bump the score with big plus and minus buttons, and hit Save & Rotate. The next four most-rested players fill the court right away. Nobody argues about who sat out longer, because the app kept track.

Need a court back for a lesson? Save & Stop Court takes it out of the rotation.

Next up, on your Lock Screen

No more "am I up yet?"

A Live Activity shows every court's matchup and score, plus the next four in the queue, on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Hold your phone up and the bench can see who's next without asking you.

It updates on every score and rotation, and works with no signal at all.

Two court cards showing each team's players, skill chips and average skill
Balanced matchups

Fair games, without you doing the math.

The default mode keeps each team's average skill within half a point, and it mixes up partners so the same two people don't end up together three games running. The strong players still get competitive games, and nobody gets stuck on a lopsided court all night.

Session summaries

Wrap the night with the stats everyone asks about.

End the session and CourtQueue totals it up for every player: games played, wins, losses, win rate, and favorite partners. Share the summary as text to the group chat, or export a CSV for your club's records.

Past sessions stay in History, and the roster carries over to next week.

Yours, privately

No account. No cloud. No "invite your players."

CourtQueue runs on one phone, the organizer's. Your players don't download anything, nobody signs up, and nothing is uploaded anywhere. It keeps working in a metal-roofed gym with no bars.

A yearly subscription for a queue is silly. Buy it once and use it every pickup night for the next decade.

Questions from the bench

Does everyone need to download it?
No. Only the organizer does. Players just show up and play. The Lock Screen Live Activity lets the bench check who's next on your phone.
Which sports does it work for?
Any doubles open play on 1 to 4 courts: pickleball, padel, and tennis. Skill tags use the familiar 2.5–5.0 scale, and you can leave players unrated.
How does it decide who plays next?
In Balanced mode, the players who have rested longest go on next, split into teams whose average skill is within 0.5 of each other, while avoiding repeat partners. Mexican Round Robin, Random, and Manual modes are one tap away.
Can people join or leave mid-session?
Yes. Add a late arrival or mark someone inactive at any time, and the queue adjusts on the next rotation.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. Everything runs on your iPhone, including the Live Activity. There's no account and no cloud, and the App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected."
What do I need to run it?
An iPhone running iOS 17 or later. The Live Activity and Dynamic Island appear on devices that support them.

Next pickup night, leave the clipboard at home.

Build your roster tonight. CourtQueue handles the rotation from there.
