Pitch Minutes: Soccer Timer

Track playing time and substitutions on iPhone and iPad, with a paired Apple Watch companion for the sideline. No account required.

Pitch Minutes helps soccer coaches track playing time and manage substitutions during a match.

See who is on the field, who is resting, and how many minutes each player has played. Substitute immediately in two taps, or prepare several changes and make them together at the next break in play. Undo a change when you need to.

On iPad, use the native full-screen layout in portrait or landscape, with the field beside an independently scrolling bench and larger player cards.

MATCHES YOUR TEAM • Manage multiple teams with separate rosters, defaults, seasons, and history. • Choose 4v4–7v7, with or without a goalkeeper. • Select a formation using a visual field diagram. • Set one period, two halves, or four quarters. • Remember your team's player count and formation for new games. • Add jersey numbers, short names, and goalkeeper preferences.

CLEAR ON THE SIDELINE • Track field and goalkeeper time separately. • See current shifts, bench rest time, and readiness colors. • Stage multiple substitutions with paired Going In / Coming Out cards. • Make queued substitutions together or cancel individual pairs. • Add late arrivals during a game and record early departures. • Change formation without losing recorded minutes. • Correct match playing-time totals or the timing of your last lineup change. • Optionally follow a silent match clock on the lock screen.

ON YOUR APPLE WATCH • Follow the match clock, period, score, player shifts and bench rest time. • Review substitutions prepared on iPhone and make them from your wrist. • Undo a change, record the score and control periods. • See connection status and refresh the match from your paired iPhone.

Apple Watch is a companion to the paired iPhone app. Set up the team, match, formation and substitution plan on iPhone. The paired iPhone must be reachable to save changes. The Watch does not connect to an iPad.

RECORDS YOU CONTROL • Review each player's minutes and attendance-adjusted targets. • Keep season history and restore archived players. • Switch teams from Game, Roster, Season, or Settings. • Export CSV and PDF reports with names hidden by default. • Preview a backup's source and destination before restoring. • Erase a team's records or remove the team after confirmation.

Works offline. No account or tracking. Player and match records stay on your devices. The iPhone shares match information with its paired Apple Watch. Other exports and sharing happen only when you choose them. Settings includes optional App Store links to Mosaic and ForeSome, also by Justin Nikolaus.

Try the included sample game to learn the controls without changing your records.

The coach controls the clock and substitutions. Playing-time targets are guidance; the app does not automatically rotate players or end periods.
