I was thinking it would be an app for the glider ops team to use on
the ground. The purpose would be to keep track of the time aloft of
each glider/pilot combo and at the end of the day download to the club
computer for billing and permanent record purposes. I was thinking
the personnel would have a drop down menu allowing a choice of a
glider, then a drop down menu allowing a choice of a pilot, others for
the tow pilot and tow plane. Then you would click "takeoff" when they
land you would click "landed" and the app would compute an elapsed
time aloft and store the record.

XCSoar will have that based on FLARM: at my airfield, we have built a
FLARM ground station with a PDA running XCSoar; it helps flight
instructors with supervising solo flights. We're planning to add
takeoff/landing detection for nearby traffic.

XCSoar runs on Windows, Windows CE/Mobile, Mac OS X, Linux and
Android, but not iOS (iPad, iPhone).
