Swing Looper is the ultimate golf training assistant, designed to help you perfect your swing through intelligent video analysis. Our AI automatically detects and captures your golf swing and plays it back in a seamless slow-motion loop — instant feedback, no manual recording. NEW IN 2.0 — TWO-DEVICE MODE Pair two devices over a direct wireless link: the Camera films behind you at the tee, the Viewer stays in front where you can see it. The Viewer becomes a real-time practice mirror — including down-the-line views no physical mirror can give you — and every captured swing appears on it automatically, ready to review between shots. You control everything from the Viewer. Here's why you'll love Swing Looper: AI-Powered Swing Detection: State-of-the-art AI detects and captures each swing on its own — from down-the-line, face-on, and from-behind views. Instant Playback Loop: Every swing replays immediately in a slow-motion loop. You don't have to do anything! Continuous Capture: Keep swinging — the app keeps watching and captures every swing, hands-free. Live Mirror Practice: Live mode gives uninterrupted real-time feedback for rehearsing positions and drills. Smooth 60 fps Video: Crisp high-frame-rate capture for detailed slow motion. Frame-by-Frame Analysis: Scrub through every moment of your swing. Draw on Your Swing: Check angles and positions with reference lines drawn directly on the video. Playback Speed Control: Slow playback down to half or one-fifth speed. Your Swing Library: Save swings with player, club, camera angle, shot shape, and notes — filter and find them anytime. Share Anywhere: AirDrop or share swing videos straight from the library, or save them to Photos — individually or in batches. Try before you subscribe: your first three captures are free, and the subscription starts with a 7-day free trial.
