A small, native widget with live NBA, NHL, MLB and NFL scores that stays on top of every app. The game is always in the corner of your eye, never in the way.
Score, clock, situation, last play, top performers. Drawn the way an Apple widget is drawn, in black or white, in three sizes, with real team crests.
Over the spreadsheet, over the inbox, over the call, on every desktop. Drag it anywhere and it stays put. Keep scrolling.

Two things left on my side, both small. I'll close them today.
Signed for at 08:40. Photo attached.
Took a pass at the middle tier. Have a look when you get a minute.
Reminder: expense reports due Friday.
Numbers are in the sheet now. The December line is the one I'd argue about: it assumes the second warehouse is live by the 3rd week, which is still not confirmed.
Everything before that holds even if the launch slips. Margin stays above 50% from September on.
Happy to walk through it on the call.
Each sport gets its own strip, drawn the way the broadcast graphics draw it. When there's more to say, the card grows. When there isn't, it shrinks back.
Possession, down and distance, ball on, red zone, timeouts.
Power play with the penalty clock, strength, shots on goal, empty net.
Inning, bases, outs, balls and strikes, batter and pitcher.
Quarter and clock, bonus, timeouts, and each side's top scorer.
Pick a favourite team in each league. Score Buddy puts their game first and tells you when it's near.
An hour out, thirty minutes, five, and at kickoff. Every one carries a different line: where it's played, the records, who's at home, who's out. Click any of them and that game is on the card.
One switch keeps the widget out of screen sharing, recordings and screenshots. Your meeting sees your slides. You see the score.
Apple's own type and proportions, continuous corners, a resting shadow. Three sizes. It reads as one of the Mac's own widgets, because it's built like one.
NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL. Turn each on or off.
macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Apple silicon and Intel.
Free.
Today, yesterday, tomorrow. Start times in your time zone.
1 h, 30 min, 5 min, kickoff. Your teams or all games today.
No account, no analytics, no tracking. Nothing leaves your Mac.
Black, White, or follow the system. Three sizes.
Show only on desktop. Hide from screen sharing. Launch at login.
3 MB download. Sleeps between polls.
Download and unzip, drag Score Buddy into Applications, open it. A short welcome asks which leagues you follow and, if you like, a favourite team in each. The widget appears on screen; settings live behind the basketball in the menu bar.
Yes: over every app, on every desktop, and over full-screen video. If you'd rather it sat behind your windows, Show Only on Desktop parks it on your wallpaper like one of Apple's own widgets.
Not if you don't want it to. Hide from Screen Sharing keeps it out of Zoom, Teams, Meet, recordings and screenshots, while you still see it on your display.
Public sports data feeds, refreshed every fifteen seconds during a live game, with the leagues' own feeds as backups. If the feeds can't be reached, the card shows how old the scores are rather than pretending.
Yes. A paid version with extra features may come later; everyone who installs now keeps what they have.
Download, unzip, drag to Applications, pick your teams.
Getting started. Click the basketball in the menu bar. Leagues turns each league on or off; Pick Your Team sets one favourite per league; Notifications chooses alerts for your teams or all games today; Size, Appearance, Show Last Play and Show Top Performers change the card; Show Only on Desktop parks it on your wallpaper; Hide from Screen Sharing keeps it out of calls, recordings and screenshots; Launch at Login starts it with your Mac.
Moving it. Drag the card anywhere. Click the two chevrons under the card for today's, yesterday's and tomorrow's games.
Alerts not appearing. Check System Settings → Notifications → Score Buddy is allowed, and that no Focus mode is on.
Scores look stale. The header shows how old the scores are while the app can't reach the feeds; it recovers on its own.

Score Buddy does not collect, store or transmit any personal information. The app has no accounts and no sign-in. It contains no analytics, advertising or tracking of any kind.
To show scores, the app requests game data from public sports data services (ESPN and the official feeds of the NHL, MLB and NBA). Those requests contain no information about you beyond what any web request carries (your IP address, which the services see as they would for a website visit). Team crests are downloaded from those services and cached on your Mac.
Your preferences (leagues, favourite teams, appearance, position, alert settings) are stored only on your Mac.
