## What is Span?

Span turns a video of your climbing into something you can actually read.

Point it at the wall, or import a climb you have already filmed. Span finds
your body in every frame and draws it back as a moving skeleton — where your
weight sits, where your hands and feet have been, how straight your arms are
through the crux.

WHAT YOU SEE

• A live skeleton over the camera, and burned into what you record
• The path your centre of mass took through the whole climb, drawn on the
  climb itself
• Arms-straight percentage, left-right balance, how direct your line was
• A stick-figure animation driven by your own movement

MEASURED, NOT GUESSED

Tell Span your height and wingspan once and it gains a ruler. From then on it
reads heights in metres instead of body lengths, and works out your arm, leg
and torso lengths from your own climbing. The estimates sharpen as you record
more.

EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE

There is no account, no server and no upload. Pose detection runs on the
device. Your climbs, your measurements and your video never leave it unless
you share a file yourself.

Span is a feedback tool for technique. It is not a medical or diagnostic
device, and its measurements are estimates from a single camera.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-08-26

The skeleton now keeps up with fast movement.

Detection loses the climber when they are blurred, and a climber is
blurred exactly when they are moving fastest — so the moments worth
watching were the ones Span had least to draw. Those frames are now kept,
and playback follows the curve of the movement between them instead of
cutting a straight line across it.

Playback also smooths the skeleton now, and does it without adding any
lag: the whole climb is already on the device, so the smoothing can look
forwards as well as back. It eases off wherever you are moving, so a
throw stays as sharp as it happened.

ALSO IN THIS RELEASE

• The overlay toggles now change a climb while you are watching it,
  including while paused. Recorded climbs keep their pose data separately,
  so the skeleton is drawn live rather than baked into the video.
• Imported photos show a skeleton, and can generate a stick figure.
• Reach Ring, Reach Envelope, Scale Bar and Arm Extension finally show
  what they do in the settings preview.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-25
