DARK HORSE APP
Fantasy and dynasty football, built for the way Dark Horse plays.
Illustration of the app. Example data.
What's Coming
A native mobile experience for Dark Horse league managers.
Live Draft Room
A snake draft with a server-side pick clock, the full board as it fills, a queue, and an autopick that ranks by value over replacement when someone steps away.
League Hub
All your Dark Horse leagues, standings, rosters, and history in one place. Scoring checked against a real NFL season, weekly matchups, and a named 1st, 2nd and 3rd when the playoffs end.
Trades & Waivers
Propose and accept trades, set FAAB bids, and manage your roster from anywhere. Mobile-first design.
Chat, Messages & Forum
A chat dock in every league, direct messages and mentions in one inbox, a forum per league and one for everybody. Trash talk that is still there in November.
The Reserve
Planned: league buy-ins and championship payouts, handled inside the app. From deposit to payout in four steps.
-
01
Fund your Reserve
One balance, held in a segregated account, ready whenever a league opens for buy-in. One Reserve serves every Dark Horse league you join.
-
02
Buy in to any league
One tap covers the buy-in and locks your spot for the season. The Reserve knows each league's buy-in and payout structure, so it takes exactly what was agreed.
-
03
Compete
Manage your roster all season. The buy-in sits in escrow until the title is decided.
-
04
Get paid
When the championship is settled, winnings land in the winner's Reserve. No forms, no follow-ups, no waiting on a third party.
Segregated Escrow
Reserve balances would be held in a dedicated escrow account, untouched until the league pays out its winners.
Full Transaction History
Every deposit, buy-in and payout logged per league, with the ledger open to you at any time. The app keeps a payments ledger already; this is where it leads.
Commissioner Oversight
The commissioner verifies every payout against the league rules before it lands, and disputes are resolved without anyone losing access to their own funds.
Until the Reserve exists, every Dark Horse league uses SleeperSafe for buy-ins and payouts, handled inside the Sleeper app.
Stay Tuned
Targeted launch: 2027 / 2028.
The Dark Horse App is in development, and a league can already play a full season in it. If you're already signed up to a league, you'll be the first to hear when it launches. If you're not yet, get on the list now.
