## What is Spotter?

Spotter is an AI lifting coach that actually watches you train.

Prop your phone side-on and Spotter scores every squat rep on depth and tempo the moment you finish it — no wearable, no manual logging, all on your device. Then it does what a good coach does: adds the weight when you earn it, holds when you don't, and talks you through the whole session so you barely touch the screen.

WATCHES EVERY REP
• On-device camera scoring for the squat — depth and tempo, live
• A clear traffic-light verdict the instant you rack the bar: green (earned), yellow (shaky), red (not earned)
• A big, glanceable rep count you can read from across the room
• Your workout video never leaves your phone

COACHES THE WHOLE SESSION
• A spoken cue after every set and a report after every workout
• Rest timer, plate math, and a warm-up ramp built in
• Hands-free from your first rep to your last

ADDS THE WEIGHT FOR YOU
• Hit your reps with good depth and the weight goes up next time
• Every barbell lift progresses on its own — squat, bench, row, press, deadlift
• An honest working max that reflects what you actually lifted

REAL PROGRAMS FOR REAL GOALS
• Get stronger, build muscle, drop body fat, or support your sport
• Full-body 5×5, powerlifting strength blocks, and hypertrophy splits — grounded in the training science, not guesswork
• Tell the in-app coach your goal and it picks the right program for you

APPLE WATCH
• Live reps, score, and rest on your wrist
• A verdict buzz the moment a set ends, and a tap to finish a set

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Video is analysed entirely on-device with Apple's Vision framework
• No account required; only anonymous numeric scores are ever sent, to generate your coaching text

Spotter is a subscription with a 7-day free trial. Your whole workout, coached.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-01

This release closes issues found in a post-launch audit.

FIXES
• Camera access denied now shows a clear recovery screen with a way into Settings, plus a "log this set by hand" option — previously the squat screen just stayed black.
• The camera now restarts correctly when you switch tabs or get interrupted by a call.
• The screen no longer sleeps mid-set while your phone is propped across the room.
• Rep counting now requires your hips to actually descend, so bending down or stepping between reps no longer counts as a squat.
• The weight only goes up when your average rep reaches at least parallel — it used to advance on reps that were above parallel.
• Fixed a case where a light or taper day could push your working weight up, and where an accessory squat could add weight a second time.
• StrongLifts now alternates Workout A and B correctly across the whole cycle.
• Tapping "Finish Set" twice can no longer log the set twice.
• Subscription options now show the correct terms for the plan you pick, and purchase or restore problems tell you what happened.
• Added safety guidance for heavy and max-attempt sessions.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-08-20

No release notes.
