I made an iOS app for following CS2 matches from your lock screen (feedback wanted)
Hey everyone, I've spent the last 6 months building Retake, an iOS app for following CS2 without needing to watch or dig through stats.
I made it because I just want to know "is my team winning?" while I'm at work, driving, or out an about. The existing apps are great if you want kill feeds and full stats, but I wanted something simpler and a nicer-looking, native iOS-style UI that feels like it belongs on your phone.
What it does:
- Live Activities
- Native iOS styling
- Team following
- Clean tournament, team, and match pages. No more info than you want at a glance, sub pages contain more but you don’t get overwhelmed at just opening the app
What it doesn’t do:
- No super deep stats, it’s supposed to be simple and easy to follow, simple stats about teams and games are available
- Data updates ~0-30 seconds slower than HLTV does, this is not built for the guy who sits around refreshes HLTV every minute to see what’s changed
- I’ll probably launch with top teams only, but the beta currently includes all teams
Feel free to DM me and request access, I’d love to test with more people! ❤️
I realize HLTV just introduce live activities but this has been my passion project for the past 6 months (it’s all hand written no AI slop anywhere) and I’m still planning on releasing because tbh I prefer my UI and I think that it’s for a slightly different use case than HLTV is for.
