## What is Spotter?

Spotter is a lifting coach that actually watches you train.

Prop your phone side-on and squat. Spotter counts the reps, scores each one on depth and tempo the moment you rack, and tells you which rep let you down — all on your own device.

YOUR FIRST FORM CHECK IS FREE
• One camera-scored set a month, free, no trial to start and nothing to cancel
• Keep the clip and the scores, and watch the rep the coach marked down
• Premium scores every set you lift

WATCHES EVERY REP
• On-device scoring for the squat — hip-below-knee depth and bar speed, live
• A count big enough to read from across the room
• Your workout video never leaves your phone. Recording is yours to switch on, the clip stays on your device, and you can delete it whenever you like

HANDS-FREE, GENUINELY
• The squat set counts and ends itself — no walking back to the phone
• Say "eight done" to log the lifts the camera doesn't score. Speech is recognised on your device and no audio is stored
• Spoken coaching after every set, a rest timer, plate math and a warm-up ramp

THE PROGRAM LIBRARY (PREMIUM)
• Barbell blocks written as blocks: linear progression, Texas Method, StrongLifts-style full body, upper/lower and leg hypertrophy
• Hit your reps at depth and the weight goes up next session; miss and it holds
• Squat, bench, row, press and deadlift each progress on their own
• Apple Watch companion: live reps, score and rest on your wrist

What it doesn't do: it measures depth and tempo, not your back position, knee tracking or bracing. It is a coach's eye on two things, not a physiotherapist.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-20

Your first form check is now free — no trial, nothing to cancel.

• Record a set and watch it back. Tap a rep and the video jumps to the frame that was scored. Clips stay on your phone, out of your backups, and you can delete them any time.
• Hands-free for every lift. Say "eight done" to log the ones the camera doesn't score. Speech is recognised on your device; no audio is stored.
• More accurate rep counting, and the set clips make it checkable.

### 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.
