FAQ
Questions coaches ask
Is it really free?+
Yes. Every tool on Touchline Lab is free to use with no trial, no paywall and no feature limits. The site is supported by advertising on content pages.
Do I need to create an account?+
No. There is no sign-up and no login. Open a tool and start working — your projects save automatically in your browser.
Where is my data stored?+
On your device, in your browser's local storage (IndexedDB). Player names and tactics are never uploaded to our servers. Because it is local, it is specific to this browser and device — download a backup from My Workspace to move it or keep it safe.
Does it work on a phone or tablet?+
Yes. The tactics board supports touch dragging and pinch-to-zoom, and you can install the site as an app so it opens offline at the training ground.
Can I share a board with my players?+
Yes. Export a PNG or PDF, or copy a share link — the board is encoded inside the link itself, so nothing is stored on a server.
