GetBuckets: Basketball Tracker

Click Sprout

About this app

Put your phone on a small tripod facing the hoop, or propped on the ground, put your earbuds in, and shoot. GetBuckets watches the ring through the camera and calls your makes and misses out loud, with your running count and streaks, so you never have to look at the phone. It gets the odd one wrong; a double tap on your earbud fixes it.

Made for solo basketball sessions. Outdoor or indoor, any hoop with the ring clearly visible. No sensors, no wearables, no account. Works best with one shooter, one ball and a nylon net; chain nets and busy gyms are still being tuned.

Fix a call without walking over. Double tap your earbud to swap the last make and miss, triple tap to remove a shot that wasn't one.

Check any shot afterwards. The app keeps a short clip of each shot on your phone. Open a session, tap a shot, watch it, and fix the call if it got one wrong. You choose whether to keep the clips when the session ends.

Your numbers, over time. Every session is saved with makes, misses, best streak and length. Home shows your last 30 days at a glance.

Review a recording. Already have a video of yourself shooting hoops? Load it and GetBuckets counts the basketball shots the same way.

Coming soon: shot zones. Paint, mid-range, threes and free throws, read from the court lines.

Private by design. A basketball shot tracker that works offline. Video, clips and results never leave your phone. Anonymous usage stats help improve the app; turn them off any time in Settings.

Free, no ads.

What’s new

Callouts now play on the media channel, so sleep mode, Do Not Disturb and silent mode no longer mute them, and music dips under each call. Setup is more forgiving: fewer warnings, and the ones left reassure rather than alarm. Smoother performance on hot phones.
