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.
