Mobile & watch — the referee's companion

An AI referee assistantin your pocket. And on your wrist.

No app on the market was built for match officials — so we built it. Your appointments, AI coach, fitness and the match itself, on your phone and your watch, synced with the full Referee.Observer platform.

Rolling out in beta to registered members first — create your free account to be in the first wave.

Phone for the prep. Watch for the whistle.

One account, three screens — dashboard, phone and wearable, always in sync.

AI coach in your pocket

Match preparation briefs, Laws Q&A and post-match feedback wherever you are — the night-before brief reads like a teammate who did the homework.

Match tracking on your wrist

Periods and stoppage timers, cards and incidents logged from the watch mid-match — hands free of paper, eyes on the game. Everything lands in your digital match report.

Workouts & physical condition

Track training sessions, sprints and match load; sync Polar, Garmin, Strava and Apple Health; watch your readiness, HRV and trends move in your dashboard.

Guided fitness tests

Audio-cued 40m sprint and interval protocols from the phone, rep-by-rep logging from the wrist, automatic pass/fail against your category benchmark.

Offline by design

Dressing rooms have no signal. Appointment details, checklists, match tracking and reports all work offline and sync the moment you're back.

Appointments & confirmations

New appointment? It buzzes on your wrist. Confirm from the notification; travel info and checklist are one tap away.

One-tap match report

Everything tracked during the match pre-fills the digital report — review on the phone, submit to your federation before you've left the car park.

Full platform sync

The apps are windows onto your Referee.Observer account: career record, analytics, learning and expenses stay in step across every device.

Frequently asked questions

Is there really no other referee app like this?+

There are whistle timers and generic fitness apps, but no product combining appointments, AI match preparation, referee-specific fitness, live match tracking and federation reporting in one mobile + wearable system. That integration with a full platform is what makes it the first of its kind.

Which devices are supported?+

iOS and Android phones, with watch companions for Apple Watch and Wear OS. Wearable data also syncs from Polar, Garmin and Strava regardless of your watch.

Does it work with no signal at the ground?+

Yes — offline-first is the core design. Everything you do at the stadium queues and syncs when you reconnect.

How do I get access?+

Create a free Referee.Observer account; beta invitations go out to members in sign-up order, and your account carries straight into the app.

Built for the only person at the ground without a team app.
