## What is Fenify?

Turn an over-the-board chess game into a replay you can study.

Fenify scans live games with your iPhone camera or imports recorded games from Photos. It reconstructs the board and moves, then keeps the video, digital board, move list, and Stockfish analysis synchronized in one review.

SCAN YOUR WAY
• Capture a live game with the camera
• Import an existing chess video

REVIEW EVERY MOVE
• Replay the original video beside a reconstructed board
• Jump to individual moves or scrub through the game
• Review Stockfish evaluations and analysis
• Identify the opening and result
• Export and share a clean PGN

BUILT FOR REAL BOARDS
Fenify works best with standard chess pieces, legal moves, a clear board view, and a steady recording from one side of the board.  A stand is highly recommended. 

Your videos and game analysis are processed and stored on your device by default. Diagnostic material is uploaded only if you choose to report a game.
