Coaching app transforms with iOS 26’s stunning new interface, making fair playing time management more intuitive than ever


OVERLAND PARK, KS – September 15, 2025 – Flatlander Studio today announced a major update to InTimer, the newest playing time management app for youth sports, making it one of the first applications to fully embrace Apple’s groundbreaking Liquid Glass design language introduced with iOS 26. The update transforms the volunteer coaching experience with an interface that’s not only visually stunning but significantly more functional during the high-energy moments of youth sports games.

The updated InTimer mobile app leverages Apple’s new Liquid Glass material to create an interface that dynamically adapts to game conditions, with translucent elements that bring greater focus to the critical information coaches need most. New per-player goal-time progress indicators now gleam through the Liquid Glass interface, making it instantly clear which players need more game time without requiring coaches to take their eyes off the field.

“Coaches are juggling fifteen different things during a game; the last thing they need is to struggle with an app,” said Nate Voss Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Flatlander Studio. “InTimer’s new Liquid Glass interface makes the most important information beautifully obvious.”

Designed for Game Day

The update addresses the unique challenges volunteer coaches face during youth sports games, where quick decisions about player rotations can mean the difference between happy parents and sideline confrontations. The new per-player progress indicators use Liquid Glass’s dynamic properties to provide visual cues that are immediately recognizable even in bright sunlight or during chaotic game moments.

InTimer makes it easy for volunteer and parent coaches to set up their rosters.

Additional improvements include refined typography specifically optimized for readability during matches and silky-smooth UI animations that make navigating between players and game periods effortless.

The active players section lists names with associated timers and colored icons. The available players section is partially visible at the bottom, along with a large circular substitution button and a timer labeled "GOALPLAYER" showing 14:19 remaining. The interface uses purple, red, and orange accents.
InTimer tracks game play time for each player and automatically alerts when it’s time to sub.

The interface dynamically morphs as coaches move between different functions, ensuring that substitution alerts and playing time calculations remain prominent without cluttering the screen.

“Every element of the new interface is designed to reduce cognitive load for coaches,” explained Voss. “When you’re managing 12 kids and dealing with parents asking why their child only played three minutes instead of 20, you need technology that actually helps you track for transparency.”

Perfect Timing for Fall Sports Season

The update arrives as youth sports leagues across the country begin their fall seasons, with millions of volunteer coaches preparing to manage team rosters and playing time rotations. InTimer can be an important asset for coaches to ensure fair playing time while focusing on actual coaching rather than time calculations on the sideline.

The app’s automatic rotation system helps coaches eliminate the avoid concerned parent texts by providing transparent, equitable playing time distribution.

Leading the Youth Sports Technology Revolution

InTimer’s rapid adoption of Apple’s latest design innovations reflects Flatlander Studio’s commitment to creating technology specifically for the unique demands of volunteer youth sports coaching. Unlike generic team management tools, InTimer was built from the ground up to solve the specific pain points that cause volunteer coach burnout.

The app supports most youth team sports including soccer, basketball, football, volleyball, hockey, rugby and lacrosse with customizable game-time tracking that adapts to various league formats and rules. The new Liquid Glass update maintains this flexibility while making the interface more intuitive across all sports.
