Plan. Mark. Share.

Got free ground and a tape measure? Mostline fits official fields into your area and tells you where every line goes, one measurement at a time.

[ How it works ]

From empty ground to a field you can play on

Measure your area once. Mostline does the geometry and leaves you with a list of distances you can follow with a tape.

Choose a field screen: a 62 by 30 metre area is rated small, football 11 by 11 is marked too big and 5 by 5 is selected

Step 01

Plan the area

Type the length and width, or walk it with Pace it when you have no tape. Mostline rates the area and marks whatever doesn't fit as too big.

Edit layout screen with two 5 by 5 football fields on a site plan, with handles to move and turn the selected field

Step 02

Lay out the fields

Drag a field into place, turn it to any angle, add more. Sizes stay proportional to the official ones, so nothing ends up stretched.

Step 03

Mark and share

Follow the steps on the grass, then send the plan as a PDF or an image to whoever is helping you set up on match day.

[ On the grass ]

One distance at a time, in type you can read in the sun

Each step tells you what to mark, how far it is and which stake to measure from. Tap Done and the next line lights up on the map. Your progress is saved after every step, so you can stop and pick up later.

  • Keep screen on, sound and haptics for working outdoors

Know what to bring before you leave the house

Mostline counts the cones for each field and adds up every line, then works out how much paint you need from your line width, coverage and coats. Open the cone plan to see where each one goes.

Example from a two-field site on a 62 × 30 m Orlik, with cones every 5 m.

FAQ

Do I need an account or internet?

No. There is no sign-up, and the app makes no network requests. It works on a field with no signal, including the first launch.

Which sports does it cover?

Football 11×11, 9×9, 7×7 and 5×5, Mini 4×4 and 3×3, futsal, handball, volleyball, beach volleyball and basketball.

What do I need on the ground?

A tape measure, plus cones, stakes or line paint. Mostline calculates and shows the instructions. It doesn't measure anything by itself.

What if I don't have a tape measure yet?

Use Pace it on the Your area step to count your steps and estimate a side. You can calibrate your step length in Settings. For the marking itself, a tape gives you straight, square lines.

Can I fit several fields on one site?

Yes, up to 12. Add field only offers formats that still fit into the free space.

Can I use feet instead of metres?

Yes. Switch Units in Settings and every size in the app changes to feet.

How do I share a plan?

Tap Export on a site and choose PDF or Image. The PDF can include the plan, marking steps, materials and cone numbers. Then send it through the iOS share sheet.

Where are my sites stored?

Only on your iPhone. Nothing leaves the device unless you share a plan yourself. Deleting the app deletes your sites.

Are there ads or in-app purchases?

No. Mostline has no ads, no in-app purchases and no tracking.

Which devices does it run on?

iPhone with iOS 16 or later. The interface is in English, in portrait.
