Baseball & softball first
Multi-camera streaming and scoring for baseball and softball
Homeplayr uses the phones already at the field as cameras. A separate scorer phone keeps the game. Leagues decide who can see what. iPhone first, Android coming.
Homeplayr is in development and has not launched publicly. What you read below is what we are building, labeled by how far along it is. The image is an illustration with fictional teams.
Built for how a rec league actually runs
One parent films from behind the backstop. Another is keeping the book in pencil. The league manager gets a text asking whether grandma can watch. The signal at the field is whatever it is.
Homeplayr is meant to take that setup seriously: several cameras instead of one, a scorer who is not also the cameraman, streams that try to recover on their own, and access that is closed until someone opens it.
Features
What we are building
“Coming soon” means it is built or being built but not released. “In design” means we have planned it and not built it yet. Nothing on this page is available to the public today.
Cameras and stream
- Coming soon
Phones as cameras, several at once
Parents and volunteers point their own phones at the field. Each phone is a camera source, and more than one angle is supported from the start. Time-synced timestamps help the angles line up.
- Coming soon
Live switcher
Preview each camera, then send one to the program output. Built for a volunteer with a tablet or laptop, not a production truck.
- Coming soon
Choose the lens per camera
Pick which lens each phone uses, so the phone behind the plate can go wide and the one down the line can reach farther.
- Coming soon
Hard mute per camera
Mute a camera at the source. Unmuting takes two authorized people, so a hot mic near the dugout does not end up on the stream by accident.
- Coming soon
Battery saver and heat-aware quality
Phones get hot in July. Homeplayr is designed to adjust stream quality to protect battery life and avoid overheating, and to restart a dropped stream automatically.
- Coming soon
Score bug overlays
On-screen score and inning, drawn in each team’s colors and logo.
Scoring
- Coming soon
Scorer, lineup and guest screens
The scorer works from a separate phone. Lineups are entered once. Guests and visiting teams get a simple screen of their own.
- In design
Photograph the scorebook, review the result
Take a picture of the paper scorebook and Homeplayr suggests the plays and stats. The scorer reviews and confirms before anything is final. Suggestions can be wrong, which is why that step is there.
- In design
Stats pages
Team and player pages built from confirmed scoring.
People, access and leagues
- Coming soon
Scoped roles, default deny, audit log
One account per person, linked to as many leagues and teams as they belong to. Roles are player, coach, parent or guardian, approved spectator and league manager. A role covers only what it was granted. Everything else stays closed, and changes are logged.
- In design
Web app for leagues
Manage teams, schedules, people and permissions from a browser.
- In design
Multiple operators
More than one person running cameras and the switcher for the same game.
- In design
A separate stream for each team, and camera sharing between teams
Each team gets its own branded stream. Two teams on neighboring fields can share a camera.
- In design
Pay-to-watch and a family plan
Let a league charge for streams, and let a family cover every kid and team on one plan.
- In design
Platform API
For leagues and partners who want to connect their own systems.
Scoring
The scorer is not the cameraman
Scoring runs on its own phone, apart from the cameras. Whoever is scoring watches the game and taps the plays. Whoever is filming films.
If you keep a paper book, photograph the page. Homeplayr suggests what happened. You fix what is off and confirm.
The AI only suggests. A person confirms.
AI scorebook suggestions are in design and have not been tested in the field. We are not making accuracy claims.
Who it is for
Leagues first. Everyone at the field second.
Leagues and clubs
You have a dozen fields, a hundred volunteers and parents who all want something different. You need to decide who can see which games, and keep that decision in one place.
Coaches and travel teams
Film the tournament on parents’ phones, score it, and send the right people the right link. No gear to buy or carry.
Parents and guardians
One account for every kid and every team, across sports. You see the games you have been approved for, and nothing else.
Volunteers
Open the app, pick a game, point your phone. If it drops, it tries to reconnect without you.
How it works
Four steps on game day
Set up the game
The league or coach creates the game and gives people roles: scorer, camera, viewer.
Point the phones
Volunteers join the game and each phone becomes a camera angle.
Switch and score
One person runs the switcher. Another scores on a separate phone.
Share with the right people
Approved family and fans watch. Everyone else stays out.
This describes the experience we are aiming for. Details will change.

FAQ
Questions
Can I use Homeplayr today?
No. It is in development and has not launched publicly. Join the waitlist or request a demo and we will tell you when that changes.
Which sports and phones?
Baseball and softball first. The account and roles are designed to span sports. iPhone first, Android coming after.
Do we need special cameras?
No. The idea is that phones people already have become the cameras.
What happens if a stream drops?
Homeplayr is designed to restart the stream and reconnect automatically. We have not yet tested this across real fields and networks, so we are not promising results.
Does the AI decide the score?
No. AI only suggests, for example when reading a photo of a paper scorebook. A person reviews and confirms. This is still in design.
Who can see our games?
Only people who were granted access, and only to what they were granted. The default is no access.
Will you train AI on our video or data?
Our plan is to train only on public footage and on footage of approved players, never on customer data. We will publish the details on the privacy page before launch.
What does it cost?
Pricing has not been set. The plans above are placeholders and are shown without prices.
Which plan is for me?
Plans are planned at three levels. An individual gets a user plan, including a free one, and a paid user or family option is coming. A coach or travel team would use a Team plan. A league or club running many teams would use a League plan. Names and contents are not final.
Is there an API?
A platform API is in design. The developer site is not live yet.
