Gaelic Star is out
4 September 2026
Gaelic Star is on the App Store. It is free, it runs on iPhone, and all thirty-two counties are there from the first launch.
There are no in-app purchases and no ads. Nothing is held back behind a payment, so there is no better version of this waiting on money.
It needs iOS 15.0 or later. It was made in Ireland by one person.
What is in the first build
4 September 2026
Gaelic Star is a Gaelic football manager career with the match played in 3D. You take a county, you name the fifteen every week, and then you go out and play the match yourself.
The match is a full fifteen-a-side game under the 2025 rules. The solo, the hand pass, the high catch in the middle, the two-pointer from outside the arc, and the shot over the bar. You can simulate one if you are short of time. Playing them is the point.
Around the match there is the League and the Championship, the split season, scouting, transfers, awards, retirements, and a county board whose patience runs out. Every player in your panel is rated in stars out of five, in half steps, and form moves week to week. Get sacked and you start again somewhere else.
The game does not collect anything
4 September 2026
There is no account and no sign-in. Nothing about how you play is measured or sent anywhere, and there is no advertising in the build.
Your career is one file on your own phone. Delete the app and it goes with it, which is the trade for never being asked who you are. The privacy policy says the same thing at greater length.
