Designed to leave the screen
Useful structure, not attention pressure
The app measures success by a clearer real-world conversation or safer next action—not app time, daily streaks, followers, scores, or a public performance identity.
Pin no more than five
A deliberately small local board turns browsing into one manageable discussion. Pins can be replaced at any time.
Keep responsibility where it belongs
Youth are never made responsible for overall safety, medical decisions, transport, money, screening, or another child.
Current terms beat assumptions
Schedules, prices, eligibility, safety plans, providers, recruiting rules, and opportunities must be confirmed directly.
Grounded opportunity language
No promise of selection, playing time, exposure, ranking, admission, scholarship, or athletic outcome.
No public profile or contact channel
No chat, direct messaging, followers, uploads, live location, roster, team directory, or adult-minor private contact.
Nothing to sign into
No Internet permission, account, notification, payment, advertising identifier, or cloud synchronization in version 1.0.0.
Safety Gate
Before. During. Stop.
Eight safety cards help adults ask what must be checked, watched, and escalated. They remain general education and never replace qualified in-person judgment.
BEFOREKnow the responsible adult, current conditions, provider procedure, equipment, supervision, and emergency roles.
DURINGKeep youth supervised, make stop-and-tell possible, and respond to changing conditions without performance pressure.
STOPLeave the app and seek responsible adult, qualified professional, or local emergency help when real-world safety requires it.
Privacy by architecture
Only the device knows which cards were opened.
The publisher does not receive app interaction state from version 1.0.0. Android backup and device transfer are disabled, and an in-app control erases local state.
No data-entry fieldsNo name, birth date, team, score, health record, photo, contact, schedule, or location field.
No sensitive permissionsNo Internet, camera, microphone, contacts, location, phone, storage, notification, or advertising ID permission.
No third-party tracking SDKNo advertising, analytics, attribution, social, authentication, payment, cloud database, or crash-reporting SDK.
Questions people should ask
Clear boundaries
Sideline Compass supports a conversation. It does not take over the duties of parents, providers, schools, leagues, qualified professionals, or emergency services.
Does the app register an athlete or show current events?
No. It contains no registration, roster, schedule, waiver, payment, or live program inventory. Verify current services directly with the responsible provider.
Does it offer recruiting, admission, or scholarship services?
No. It explains questions and general vocabulary without providing placement, eligibility, admissions, financial-aid, exposure, or scholarship guarantees.
Can it diagnose an injury or clear return to play?
No. It cannot assess symptoms, diagnose, treat, monitor, contact emergency services, or make return-to-play decisions. Stop and involve a responsible adult or qualified professional.
Does it collect information about children?
No data-entry field or online youth account exists. The local app stores only opened-card identifiers and up to five pinned content identifiers.
