- Every kid deserves a fair go
Show every parent that minutes are shared fairly.
Without spreadsheets, arguments, or guesswork — Fairtime plans fair minutes, runs Match Day, and hands you the proof.

- The product is the proof
Fair playing time is easier to defend when it is planned, run, and reviewed in one place.
Fairtime is not a broad team-management app. It is a fixture-centred workflow for coaches who already care about fairness and need a clearer way to prove it.
Fairness built into planning
Always plays, Preferred, Equal rotation, Needs minutes. The planner uses the language a coach can explain to parents.
Proof after the whistle
A match record shows who played, when, and for how long — plus a position heatmap of where each kid actually played, all season. Not a ranking. Not a lecture. Just the honest record.
— The fairness model
Fair time, not equal time.
Every player sits in one of four categories based on how you want to share minutes — not just history. Your keeper should play every game. Your youngest player might need building up. Two different kids, two different fair outcomes. Fairtime plans the difference and gives you the record to prove it.

- From the founder
Built by a grassroots manager, for grassroots managers.
I’m Phil. I run a youth team in the UK and got tired of the spreadsheet I’d been keeping for fairness. So I started building Fairtime — for managers like me, who care about every kid getting a fair go and who don’t have a club budget for software.
Fairtime is free for individual managers and stays free. The paid tier is for clubs that want one fairness record across every team — if that’s you or your club, get in touch.
