Loopr

Read full description

See every rep. Fix it faster. Loopr turns your iPhone or iPad into an instant replay system for baseball and softball practice. Set a delay, hit your rep, and watch it play back automatically — no stopping to find the clip, no transferring files, no complicated setup. Just continuous, automatic feedback after every swing, pitch, throw, or fielding move. Used in batting cages, bullpens, and practice fields by players and coaches who are serious about getting better. ——— HOW IT WORKS ——— Point your camera at the athlete, set a delay (5, 7, 10, or 12 seconds), and press play. Loopr buffers up to 5 minutes of rolling video in the background. The rep happens, the athlete turns around, and the replay is already waiting. That's it. No tapping. No searching. No interrupting the rhythm of practice. ——— KEY FEATURES ——— DELAYED LIVE REPLAY A continuous rolling buffer keeps up to 5 minutes of video ready at all times. No recording sessions to start or stop between reps — just point and play. FRAME DIAL A precision haptic scrubbing control built into the player. Drag left or right to step through footage one exact frame at a time. Feel a haptic tick on every frame, a stronger pulse every 5 frames, and a bounce at the end. No other app gives you this level of frame-by-frame control. SPLIT VIEW + EXPORT Place two clips side by side and scrub them in sync to compare any two moments. Unlink to step through each independently. When you find the comparison worth keeping, tap save — the full split-screen exports as a single video to your Photos library, with zoom and pan preserved exactly as you set it. SCRUB, ZOOM & CLIP Drag the timeline to any frame, then use the Frame Dial for surgical precision. Pinch to zoom up to 5× to inspect hand path, hip rotation, release point, or footwork at the pixel level. Trim and save the exact moment that matters. WORKS FOR EVERY POSITION Hitting mechanics. Pitching delivery. Fielding reads. Throwing arm slot. Catcher footwork. Base running. If it's a repeatable athletic movement, Loopr can help you see it and improve it. ——— BUILT FOR THE FIELD ——— - Works completely offline — no WiFi or cellular required - No account, no sign-in, no cloud - Front and rear camera support - Optimized for most iPhone and iPad - Lightweight on battery — runs all practice long ——— PRICING ——— Free 7-day trial — full access, no credit card required. After the trial: $4.99, one time. Less than the cost of a single baseball. No subscription. No renewal. Yours forever on every device you own. Loopr requires iOS 16 or later. Compatible with iPhone and iPad.
