Software Update

Update Required: Please update all devices to the latest version to continue accessing all MatchTracker functionalities.

Support for macOS Sequoia & End of macOS Monterey and Big Sur Support

macOS Sequoia is now supported in MatchTracker.

macOS Monterey and macOS Big Sur are no longer supported. Any users continuing to use these operating systems may see issues with this version or future versions of MatchTracker.

Hub Focus Sessions

You can now create customised Hub Focus Sessions directly from MatchTracker matches. Share tags and video to your team in seconds - streamlining workflows and saving valuable time.

MatchTracker and Focus now share a single folder location for your local video (called the Shared Asset Folder) allowing both products to utilise the same file when creating a Focus Session from MatchTracker.

Fixed: Exported clips weren't following the Sequence or Phase Start/End option in the Export Setup

Streamline Sharing & Group Management

Changes have been made to how Groups and Sharing works to improve usability and stability:

All users in a Group can Share, Create and see all Historical content
Users are no longer required to be part of a Group to share content
New User Groups created in Hub 6.3 will not be available in previous versions of Hub/MatchTracker/Focus. Make sure to update all software

Display (Static), used to display XY data for specified tag types, regardless of timeline selection.
