RefLog
The modern referee’s match companion.
Problem
Match review used to mean a desk, a download, and hours of coding video. Existing tools assume you will sort it out later, online, with the full file uploaded. Referees need to log events now — on mobile, often with no signal.
Solution
RefLog is a free iPhone and Android app for rugby referees. Log events the way you already think — phase, team, infraction, sanction — with timestamps you can nudge in seconds. It works offline. Export when you are done.
Get the app
- Ref Mode for film review. Coach Mode for live observation.
- Offline-first. Stadiums, buses, and hotels all work.
- Free on iOS and Android. Open the app and start a match.
What it does
Log matches. Review performance. Improve — from the phone already in your hand.
Ref Mode — post-match film review
Watch the match and code decisions with timestamps. Built for self-review and a development library.
- Timestamped events (tries, penalties, cards, scrums, lineouts, and more)
- Match clock with back-offset timing
- Notes and context on each event
- PDF export for match reports
- Filter and search the log
Coach Mode — live observation and feedback
Structured notes during a live match, then holistic feedback for developing referees.
- Observation by phase (pre-match, in-match, post-match)
- Focus areas (positioning, communication, game management)
- Timestamped notes on key moments
- Coach report you can share right after the match
Tech Zone — match operations (beta)
For technical officials and staff, from kickoff to full time.
- Multiple clocks and custom timers
- Roster tracking with smart substitutions
- Live scoring with an event timeline
- Period management (halves, extra time)
- Team colours and customization
Tech Zone is unlocked with a developer gesture. Interested? Email us — or see Support for the tap sequence.
