About

Every player deserves their minutes. Benchwarmer counts them so you don't have to. It's the twenty-fifth minute, a parent is asking why their kid is still on the bench, and you honestly don't know. Benchwarmer is built for that moment: a team manager for coaches who care that the minutes come out even. FAIR PLAYING TIME, WITHOUT THE MENTAL ARITHMETIC Benchwarmer works out each player's fair share of the match and shows you who is owed time, updated live as you make changes. The debt carries across the season, so the kid who sat out last week comes up first this week. Players who weren't available are never charged for a match they couldn't play. LINE-UPS YOU DRAG INTO PLACE Drop players onto a half-pitch to build your starting eleven, or your starting six. Every format from 5-a-side to 11-a-side, with formations generated for each one. Swap two players by dragging one onto the other. A CLOCK THAT SURVIVES REAL LIFE Lock your phone, take a call, or restart the app mid-match. The clock is rebuilt from timestamps rather than ticked along, so it still reads correctly when you come back. Nudge it by ten seconds when the referee disagrees. Quarters or halves, your choice. GOALS, CARDS, AND THE SEASON TABLE Tap a player to log a goal, an assist, a foul or a card. Goals nobody could attribute still count in the score, without inventing a scorer. Season statistics fold out of the match logs, so correcting a goal in March fixes the table in May. TRAINING, NOT JUST MATCHES Schedule your sessions ahead of time, then mark who turned up, who didn't, and who had a reason. Rate the players who came on effort, performance, attitude and teamwork, and watch each player's attendance rate and averages build over the season. An excused absence, for injury or a holiday, never counts against anyone. BUILT FOR THE TOUCHLINE Big touch targets for cold hands. A high-contrast mode for bright sunlight. One screen and no scrolling while the match is live. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account, no sign-up, no server. Benchwarmer works with no signal at all, which matters on the pitches that don't have any. Everything lives on your device, and you can export a team to a file whenever you want to move it or keep a copy. Free, with no ads and nothing to unlock.

What's New in Benchwarmer

1.6.0

October 10, 2026

Benchwarmer now runs on iPad, and it comes with a tactics board. • iPad: the whole app full screen on iPad, with room to see the pitch. • Tactics board: drag your players, the opposition and the ball anywhere on a full pitch. Draw runs (dashed) and passes (solid), tap a line to remove it, and undo as you go. • Scenarios: keep several set-ups side by side in tabs, such as a kick-off, a corner and pressing high. Each match and each team keeps its own, and they're saved on the device. • Open it from the pencil in the match header, or from the Tactics card on your team page. • Format per match: play a friendly 7-a-side while your team is set up for 9. Pick the format when you create the match, or change it in the settings of a planned match. The match list shows when a game was played at a different format. • Shared teams are more reliable when several coaches edit the same match.
