TRACK EVERY MINUTE. BALANCE EVERY PLAYER. Playing Time is the easiest way for coaches, parents, and team managers to track and balance playing time across every player on the team — in real time, during live games. LIVE GAME TRACKING Start a game and tap players on or off the court. Every second is tracked automatically with color-coded heat bars that show exactly who's getting the most and least time. No clipboard, no spreadsheet, no guesswork. SMART SUBSTITUTIONS Get AI-powered substitution suggestions based on playing time balance, bench wait times, and stint duration. Run 1-for-1 swaps or bulk substitutions with a single tap. Undo any sub instantly if you change your mind. WORKS FOR ANY SPORT Basketball, soccer, football, hockey, lacrosse, volleyball, baseball, and more. Configure the number of players on the field, period structure, clock direction, and specialized positions (goalkeeper, quarterback, goalie) for each team. TEAM MANAGEMENT Create unlimited teams with custom colors, logos, rosters, and game settings. Import schedules from iCal calendar feeds. Track player jersey numbers, positions, and availability. GAME HISTORY & ANALYTICS Every game is saved automatically. Review detailed recaps with per-player time breakdowns, period-by-period stats, and AI-generated insights. Track season averages and trends across all games. RANKINGS & TIERS See at a glance who's playing the most and least with tiered and forced ranking views. Color-coded gold/silver/bronze tiers make imbalances obvious. QUICK START MODE Jump straight into tracking without setting up a team first. Perfect for pickup games, tryouts, or filling in as a guest coach. Import Quick Start games into a team later. DESIGNED FOR GAME DAY Large tap targets for cold fingers. Screen stays awake during games. Fast-forward through halftime. Works completely offline — no internet required.
