Did you hit depth? Stop guessing and get an instant, objective answer. SquatEye uses AI to analyze your squat and tell you whether your hip crease dropped below your knee — the standard used by the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) and most competitive federations worldwide. HOW IT WORKS 1. Select a video or photo of your squat from your camera roll. 2. SquatEye's AI detects your hip crease and knee positions automatically. 3. Get a clear PASS, FAIL, or BORDERLINE verdict with a depth margin measurement. That's it. No manual measuring, no asking gym buddies, no rewatching footage frame by frame. KEY FEATURES - Instant Depth Verdict: Get a PASS, FAIL, or BORDERLINE call in seconds, based on the IPF competition standard. - AI Pose Detection: Automatically identifies your hip crease and knee top positions with precision. - Depth Margin Measurement: See exactly how far above or below parallel you went — not just pass or fail, but by how much. - Multi-Rep Video Analysis: Drop in a video with multiple reps and SquatEye finds each squat bottom automatically. - Manual Frame Selection: Scrub through your video and pick the exact frame you want analyzed. - Pinch-to-Zoom Results: Zoom into the annotated image to inspect hip and knee marker placement up close. - Analysis History: Every analysis is saved so you can track your depth consistency over time, with filtering by verdict. - Shareable Results: Export annotated results to share with your coach, training partners, or social media. - Works Without an Account: Start analyzing immediately — no sign-up required. - Dark Theme: A clean, professional interface designed for the gym. WHO IT'S FOR - Competitive powerlifters preparing for meets - Strength athletes who want objective depth feedback - Coaches reviewing athlete form - Anyone learning to squat to competition depth FREE vs PRO Free: 3 analyses per week — enough to check your working sets. Pro Monthly: $9.99/month — our most popular plan for consistent training. Pro Annual: $59.99/year ($5.00/mo) — best value, save 50%. All Pro plans include unlimited analyses. METHODOLOGY SquatEye follows the IPF Technical Rules: the top surface of the legs at the hip joint must be lower than the top of the knees. The AI measures this by detecting two anatomical landmarks — the hip crease and the knee top — and comparing their vertical positions. For best results, film from the side with your full body in frame, use stable camera positioning, wear fitted clothing, and ensure good lighting. Note: SquatEye is a training tool and is not a substitute for an official competition judge. Results are AI estimates and may vary based on video angle and quality. Always train with a qualified coach for meet preparation.
