Using sensors of the Apple Watch, it detects every shot you make and employs a Machine Learning model to identify each stroke type, offering detailed analysis previously available only to professionals, with cool stickers to share your workout on social media

Hello fellow creators! I’m excited to introduce Padelio, an iOS app designed specifically for padel players, fairly popular among indie makers :). The idea for Padelio had been in my mind for some time, especially since padel workouts can’t be recorded on the Apple Watch, as Apple doesn’t include padel in their workout options. I saw a need for a tool that could fill this gap and provide players with detailed analysis of their game. Padelio tracks your padel workouts using the advanced sensors of the Apple Watch and employs a Machine Learning model, built from scratch, to identify different stroke types. It distinguishes between backhand and forehand for each stroke type and records the acceleration of each stroke. This feature is particularly interesting for comparing the speed of viboras and smashes with your friends. The social aspect of Padelio, featuring customizable stickers, came to me after noticing how people love to share their workout summaries for various sports on social media, such as running or cycling. However, there was no equivalent for padel. With Padelio, you can now share your padel achievements with your friends and the wider community in a fun and engaging way. I can’t wait for you all to try Padelio and hear your feedback!

Hey @kildos, this sounds amazing! 🤩 Love how you're addressing a real gap for us padel players. The machine learning aspect to track strokes is genius, and those customizable stickers are such a fun touch for social sharing! Can’t wait to give it a spin and see my progress. Keep up the great work—you’re really making a difference in our game!

It was so embarrassing that Padel didn't exist on Apple Watch. Thanks Marcos, this was definitely a gap needed to fill. I wish you the best. Vamooosss! 💪🏼

@juanjovn I guess USA people from Apple doesn’t care about padel, just like they don’t care about the metric system 🤪 Vamosssss 😼

@kildos when Pickelio?

Hey Marcos, How does Padelio's machine learning model adapt to different player styles and levels? Are there any plans to expand the app's functionality beyond stroke analysis? Congrats on the launch!
Marcos Sabarís
@kyrylosilin Hi Kyrylo, thank you! The machine learning model has been created with extensive testing, involving padel players from various backgrounds, aiming to find a balance between rookie and high-level players, and fitting the needs of most padel players. I have many ideas for Padelio, but since they might require significant development time, I wanted to launch Padelio as an MVP to gauge interest. If there is sufficient interest, Padelio will expand far beyond its current functionalities!

@kildos Just signed up 💪🏻 I have the exact same problem as you. I used to track my games with my Apple Watch, but with tennis as an activity. Now I will use Padelio for that. Amazing UI and UX as well. Congrats on the launch 🚀
Marcos Sabarís
@crebuh Thank you, Christofer! All of my padel-mates who use an Apple Watch to track their workouts were forced to use tennis, which provides almost zero insights. I’m glad you like it!

Wow! I’ve been wanting to find an app like Padelio for a long time! For padel players it’s definitely a game changer. Let’s keep up the good work Marcos 😊
Marcos Sabarís
@gonzalofuentes Thank you for your words, Gonzalo! As padel players, we were definitely lacking something to track our top-level workouts 😅
