About
Turn your phone into a film room. Import your game film, freeze any play, draw it up and send the clip in minutes. TacticalSnap is a football film analysis and play design app for coaches, coordinators and players. Works with American football, flag football and soccer. No account, no cloud, no upload.
JUMP PLAY TO PLAY
Import a game from your camera roll and TacticalSnap scans the whole film on your device. Every play lands on the timeline: snaps in green, big plays in purple. It listens for the whistle to know the play is dead. Tap a marker and the video lands two seconds early, so you see the alignment first. Skip play to play with one button, jump to the top of a drive, pinch the filmstrip to 10x, roll it back at 0.25x.
FREEZE ANY PLAY
Pause and tap Scan. One tap finds every player on the field and splits both sides into team colors. It looks for helmets, not bodies, so nobody gets lost in the pile. Missed a player? Tap to mark him and the marker follows as you step through the clip. Put a man on the wrong side and one chip fixes it on every marker.
ISOLATE ONE PLAYER
- Tap any player to pick him out of the pile and keep him marked
- Long-press for his menu: team, move, clone, remove
- Spotlight dims the whole field and leaves one man lit
- Ghost clones drop a copy where the block, the route or the coverage should have been
SEE WHAT THE COACH SEES
- Trails: the last seconds of every player's movement on one frame
- Vision cones: the direction a man was actually headed
- Pressure counts: how many bodies each side has around the play, so a 3v2 shows as a badge
- Team chains: link a level and watch it stretch or hold
- Magnifier: pull detail out of a wide sideline shot
DRAW IT UP: TELESTRATOR ON THE FROZEN FRAME
Twelve tools: arrows, routes, zones, circles, lines, freehand, text notes, player links, laser pointer and spotlight. Draw the route he ran and the one he should have run, then circle the blown assignment. Apple Pencil supported on iPad.
PLAY DESIGNER AND TACTICS BOARD
Flip the frozen frame into a top-down board built from the real positions: a full gridiron with hash marks, both end zones and the stripes every ten yards, or a soccer pitch. Drag a player where he should have been and his real spot stays as a ghost. Or open the blank whiteboard as a playbook maker: design the install, step it out as play frames, export a 1920px PNG.
THE GAME IN NUMBERS
Match Report counts every play the scan found, lays the rhythm of the game out as bars and calls the busiest stretch, the longest break and the average time between plays. Key moments list the big ones; each row taps to that second.
COMPARE TWO MOMENTS
Put this week beside last week and play both at the same second, then draw across the pair.
RECORD AND SEND IT: CAPCUT FOR FOOTBALL FILM
Hit Rec on a frozen frame and talk while you draw. Your voice, every mark, the spotlight and the board bake into one clip. Trim the clips into a reel, add music, pick 16:9 for the film session or 9:16 for TikTok and Instagram Reels, then share. Think of it as CapCut for football: the editor already knows where every play starts.
SOCCER TOO
Switch the sport and the same tools run on a pitch: goalkeeper and referee detection, pitch calibration with distances and a mini-map, formations and a soccer tactics board.
WHO IT'S FOR
Head coaches, coordinators, position coaches, youth, flag and rec programs, players studying their own reps, parents in the bleachers. Any footage works: a phone from the stands, an end-zone tripod or a broadcast. iPad, Apple Pencil, keyboard shortcuts and voice commands.
NO ACCOUNT, NO CLOUD
Everything runs offline on your device. Your game film never leaves your phone and there is nothing to sign up for.
FREE VS PRO
Every breakdown tool is free: scanning, freezing, layers, drawing, both boards, the report and recording. Video export is Pro: go Pro for unlimited exports and no ads.
