About Court Canvas: Tennis Tactics
Draw a tennis play in about ten seconds. Hit play and watch it move. Text it to your partner before you've left the parking lot. This one is for tennis nerds. People who weigh frames for swing weight and balance point, who spend the night before a tournament regripping and laying out towels, electrolytes and three outfits. If your rackets have a spreadsheet, hi. Draw it: - Drop players, drag to draw shots and movement. No mode to switch. - Shots curve. A slice looks like a slice, and you can reshape the arc by dragging it. - Write a cue like "split step" right where it happens. - Start from real patterns, or build a drill with cones, targets and a feed basket. Watch it: - Press play. A ball travels each shot and players walk their movement, so it reads like a point instead of a diagram. - Pause anywhere. Scrub, or step shot by shot while you talk. Send it: - Share a GIF or video. It opens on a title card, then animates. - Record a voice-over while the play runs (Pro). - Or send a live link that animates in their browser. - Add the situation ("30-15, set point") and it prints on the card. Keep it: - Unlimited plays, autosaved, with a private iCloud backup. Singles or doubles. Padel and pickleball too. - My Bag holds your frames: mains, crosses, both tensions, and when each was last strung. Pop a string and you can flag it from the court. It won't tell you whether the play is any good. That part is still yours. On iPad the tools sit at the screen edges and the Playbook opens beside the court. The same app runs on Apple Silicon Macs. Pro is a one-time $4.99. Narrated shares, your name on what you share instead of the Court Canvas mark, and dark mode. No subscription. No account, no login. Your plays live on your device. Anonymous usage stats only. Privacy policy: courtcanvas.com/privacy
What’s new
Version 1.18.0 · Updated October 13, 2026
Pick three plays for your next match. - Today's three keeps up to three saved plays in order, with a short cue for each. Open one from Playbook, step through them beside the board, or share them as a card. - Find saved plays by name, situation or notes. Start from a serve, return or approach pattern. - Live links now carry player movements, shot pace, notes and drill markers. In the browser, make your own version, send it back and reopen the original. - File backups now include Today's three, My Bag and recorded playing days. Older backups still open. iCloud backup continues to cover plays only. - My Bag counts days you record with I played today. Opening the app no longer counts as a playing day. - The app follows your device's Spanish language, including Spain and Latin America. Existing play names stay yours. - iPad and Mac menus have keyboard shortcuts. A voice-over stays tied to the play it was recorded over, and backing up shows as done after the file is saved or sent. - Fixes: the Playbook no longer freezes on iPad with iPadOS 26. Today's three keeps its places after Undo and after an iCloud restore. Merging a backup keeps the restrings it logged. Shared images are checked before they are sent. - Smoother to use: the pace you load by holding at the end of a shot climbs slowly enough to watch and reads above your finger. Undo takes back your last change, including a reshaped or deleted shot. Starter plays finish with each player where their last move ended. Cards close with a drag on the court or Esc. Long labels and notes show in full. - A voice-over take is kept if sharing it fails or you back out. Messages stay up long enough to read. Menus in Playbook no longer bring up the keyboard. - A shot's end handle sits beside a player, not under them, so you can drag it. Deleting a play from its menu works like a swipe: it goes at once, and Undo brings it back along with any others you just deleted. Messages keep clear of the players and the dock. At large text sizes, Help keeps its full guide on screen and titles no longer break mid-word.
