things to say
at the bar.

A handful of one-liners Ballbot leaves in the chat after the buzzer — so you have something to bring up at brunch tomorrow.

the game is in the room,
not the screen.
play it like a pro.

Most sports apps focus on game stats. We focus on the gathering. The couch, the snacks, the group thread, the post-mortem texts at 1 a.m., the barbershop the next day. Chat with Ballbot, who translates the broadcast, and add your crew if you want. One button, wait, what?, when you missed something.

No public timeline. No strangers in your thread. No stats avalanche, no fantasy ledger, no betting line crawling across the screen. For the people who already speak fluent sports – and the people who'd rather speak fluent them.

A note from the founder

We love our boys. We came for the company, the snacks, maybe the butts on the field. Definitely not because we know what double pivot means. The hell is a “goalmouth scramble”? The midfield diamond, is it invisible or what?

And why's everyone screaming?

We built Hail Mary to close that gap. Watching sports with friends is fun, and it's better when you know what stuff means. Ballbot is the buddy who whispers what's actually going on, never makes you feel small for asking, and has takes you actually want to hear.

It's a small app. It's a big idea. I hope you join us.

— andrewfounder, hail mary
