Set-piece app questions, answered
The things coaches ask before they start using Settik — answered in the first sentence, with no build-up.
What is the best app to design corner routines?
Settik is the best app to design corner routines if you want the routine to survive Saturday: you drag the players and the runs onto a to-scale pitch, animate the delivery, and send every player a private link showing only their own job. It is built for set pieces alone rather than being a general tactics whiteboard, so the near-post block, the screen on the keeper and the second-ball runner are all things the pitch already understands. It is free to start, in a browser, with no download.
Can I animate set pieces in a browser?
Yes — Settik animates set pieces in a browser, with nothing to install and no account needed to try it. Open the free board, drag the players, draw the runs, press play, and watch the delivery arc and the runs time out against each other on a to-scale pitch. You can export the animation as a GIF and paste it straight into the team chat.
Does it include opposition players?
Yes — Settik puts the opposition on the pitch as well as your own team, which is the only way an attacking corner or a defensive wall means anything. You can set the other side up zonally, man-for-man or as a mix, move each defender, and see whether your blocker actually gets in front of the man they are supposed to. Defending set pieces are first-class here, not an afterthought: defending corners, defending free kicks and defending throw-ins each have their own routines.
Can I share routines with players?
Yes — Settik gives every player their own private link showing only their run and their role, so nobody has to find themselves in a diagram with twelve arrows on it. You send one link per player, it opens in any phone browser with no app and no login, and it shows their starting position, where they go and what they are being asked to do. There is also a full share link for staff that carries the whole routine, and a presentation mode for the changing-room screen.
Is there a free set piece app?
Yes — Settik has a genuinely free plan, not a trial with a countdown: 10 set-piece routines, 25 players, one team, five shareable links and the whole drill designer, for as long as you want them. There is also a free board at settik.com/board that needs no account at all, where you can design and animate a routine and export it as a GIF. Paid plans start at €6.99 a month and exist to lift the limits, not to switch the app on.
Does it work on iPad/iPhone?
Yes — Settik works on iPad and iPhone as a native App Store app, and in the browser on those devices too. The iPad is the best of the three for drawing a routine, the iPhone is the one you take to the ground, and everything syncs between them and the web, so a routine designed on a laptop on Thursday is on the phone in your pocket on Saturday.
Can I export a matchday PDF?
Yes — Settik exports a printable PDF of your routines on the Pro plan, one page per set piece, with the pitch diagram and every player's role written out underneath. That is the sheet you pin up in the changing room or hand to an assistant. If you want the whole pre-match talk rather than the set pieces alone, the Matchday Deck add-on exports it as a real PowerPoint file you can present from.
Is there a German version?
Yes — Settik's interface is fully available in German, and in Spanish and French, using the words a coach actually says: Eckball, Freistoß, Einwurf, Abstoß, Elfmeter. Pick the language from the switcher on the site or in Settings inside the app, or start at settik.com/de. Support is by email at info@settik.com, and German is fine there too.
