For basketball coaches · iPad · works with zero signal

The bench brain.

Courtside AI turns what you tap into what to call. Two-tap possession tracking for both teams, live points-per-possession against every defense you see, and an end-game advisor that already knows the chart — when to foul, when to hold, who to target.

Coming to the App Store for the 2026–27 season. Built by a coach, for the bench.

Made for the 60 seconds that decide games

Most stat apps tell you what happened after the bus ride home. Courtside AI is built for the timeout: it reads tonight's possessions and hands you the three calls that matter, in type you can read from three feet away.

Two-tap tracking

Tag their defense once — it sticks until they change it. Tap where the shot went up, tap made or missed. That's a possession.

Timeout mode

Call a timeout and the screen becomes a 10-second read: the offensive call, the defensive call, and the situation — with the numbers as fine print.

The live advisor

The end-game decision chart, running in real time. Up 3 with 10 seconds? Down 5 with 40? It already knows — and it names the foul target.

Every play vs every coverage

A live points-per-possession matrix: which sets are working against Man, which die against the 2-3 — tonight and across the season.

Fully offline

No signal in the gym? Nothing changes. Courtside AI runs entirely on your iPad — no login, no loading spinner at the worst moment.

Private by design

Your roster is a list of minors' names. It never leaves your device — no accounts, no tracking, nothing sold. Ever.

Built by a coach who needed it

Courtside AI started as one coach's bench tool in Jefferson, Georgia — built because the stat sheet never answered the only question that matters in a timeout: what do we call right now? It's been tracking real games ever since. The end-game decision chart that powers the advisor is free to use, right here on this site.
