TrackMaster Studios

Every Saturday morning, thousands of volunteer coaches and parents across Australia watch kids run 200m sprints, long jumps, and 60m dashes — and then write the times down in a notebook. Or on their phone. Or don't write them down at all.

I was one of them. And whenever a parent asked "so how's my kid actually going?" — I had no real answer. A time is just a number without context.

So I built TrackMaster.

The core idea is simple: you log a child's result (event, time or distance, date), and the app immediately benchmarks it against real population data for that age group and gender — showing exactly where they sit on a bell curve, what percentile they're at, and how far they are from recognised carnival qualifying standards. That's the moment that makes it click. A parent sees their 8-year-old's 200m time plotted against hundreds of other Under 9 boys — and suddenly "60 seconds" means something.

Beyond that, TrackMaster also handles:

• Season-over-season progress charts per athlete and event

• Goal setting with visual overlays on the chart

• 2,100+ AI-generated training tips matched to each event, age group and training level

• Coach's notes and PDF reports parents can take home

• Multi-athlete management for coaches running a full squad

Pricing: Free (4 results to try everything), $3/month for unlimited, $5/month for the Pro tier (warmup plans + custom events). Season pass at $39/year.

I'm at the very start of this — a handful of early users, no marketing budget. Just a product I think genuinely solves something real for a community that's been underserved by tech.

I'd love honest input on three things:

1. Is the niche too small?

2. Is $3/month too cheap — does it signal low value, or is it the right entry point for volunteer coaches and parents?

3. Does benchmarking against population data actually matter to a parent, or is "my kid is improving" enough?

App is live at track-master-77551958.base44.app — free to try, no card needed.
