Swing Dr turns the time you spend away from the field into real work on your swing. No camera, no sensor, no coach — just your swing, one phase at a time. Built for hitters who want to get better between practices: high-school and college baseball players, and the parents and coaches who help them. Unlike video swing analyzers, it needs nothing but you and a bat. THE FRAME STRIP A swing is not one motion, it is seven: stance, load, stride, launch, contact, extension, finish. Swing Dr walks you through them in order, one screen at a time. Each frame asks you a question about that phase, shows you the cue you wrote for it last time, and takes a 1-5 score with both ends spelled out — so a 3 means the same thing this week as it did last week. THE SWING ARC Your bat path, drawn as one arc with the seven phases as nodes along it. Scored phases fill in; the ones you have not scored stay hollow rings, so an empty phase never looks like a bad one. It mirrors for a left-handed hitter. WHAT THE APP WORKS OUT FROM YOUR OWN REPS - A consistency index built from your cadence, how complete your reps are, and how repeatable your scores are — with all three parts shown, so the number is never a black box - Streaks, your longest run, a weekly goal ring and milestones - A drill for today, chosen from the phase you are weakest in When there is not enough data yet to say something honestly, the app says so and names the number it is waiting for. DRILLS AND CUE CARDS — FREE, ALWAYS Every drill in the library, with what it is for and how to run it. Write your own. Keep one cue per phase in your own words, and it comes back at the top of that frame on every later rep. THE PLATE LOG Log real at-bats — how many, how many you squared up, strikeouts, how well you saw the ball. WHAT IS FREE Unlimited mental reps and the whole Frame Strip, for ever. Every drill and every cue card. The last 14 days of history. Your consistency index, streaks, weekly goal and milestones. Reminders on the days you choose. Three AI Swing Reads a week with a free account. And a real CSV export of everything you have logged. No account is needed to start: everything is saved on your phone until you choose to make one. SWING DR PRO (optional subscription) - Your phase profile, and which phase is actually costing you - Twelve weeks of trend, not two, with the season chart - Whether it carries to the plate: your reps measured against your own at-bats - Your whole history, not just the last 14 days - Unlimited AI Swing Reads - The Season Report, twelve weeks written out Nothing is ever deleted to sell you a subscription. Every rep you log as a free member is kept, and the whole record is there the moment you subscribe. ABOUT THE AI SWING READ It is off until you turn it on. When you ask for a read, the seven descriptions you wrote for that rep and the averages this app already worked out from your own reps are sent to a text service, which writes a coaching note back. No images, no video and no audio are ever captured or sent — this app has no camera and no recording of any kind. It will not tell you your bat speed, exit velocity or launch angle, because it has no way to know them. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Swing Dr Pro is billed monthly or yearly, with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple account settings. Mental reps work best alongside the swings you actually take — not instead of them.
