Spotlight Search

Keeping Score! indexes your games in iOS Spotlight, so you can find them by swiping down on your Home Screen and typing.

  • Title — Search by game name
  • Player and team names — Find a game by who played in it
  • Status — Playing or Finished
  • Description — Date and top participants
  1. Swipe down on your Home Screen (or swipe right to the search screen)
  2. Type a game title or participant name
  3. Tap the result to open it directly in Keeping Score!

Keeping Score! is configured for universal links under www.keepingscore.app/docs/... and open.keepingscore.app, so links you share (or follow from Spotlight Web results) open directly in the app when it’s installed.

Games also support Handoff between devices — view a game on your iPhone, pick it up on your iPad, provided both devices are signed into the same iCloud account.

  • Spotlight indexing happens automatically — no setup needed
  • If a game doesn’t appear in search immediately, opening the app triggers a reindex
  • Search by player name to quickly find games that a specific person played in
