Every handstand is automatically timed, scored, and turned into its own clip. Recording handstands used to be a whole ritual: press record, kick up, come down, press stop. Scrub back to find where the hold started and ended. Work out the duration. Watch it eat up your storage. Reposition the phone, press record, go again — every single rep. Not anymore. Set your phone down once, train straight through, and don't touch it again. Handstand Lab catches every hold, times it, and files each one as its own clip — while you just keep training. IMPORT THE HANDSTANDS YOU'VE ALREADY FILMED Pick any video from your camera roll. Every handstand in it is found, timed, scored and saved as its own clip. STRAIGHTEN UP YOUR HANDSTAND Handstand Lab measures the angles at your joints and shows you exactly where your handstand's going wrong and what to clean up. TRACKS EVERY SHAPE YOU HIT For every handstand, Handstand Lab reads the shapes you move through — straddle, tuck, split, stag, and more — and measures how long you spend in each. Time on one arm is tracked the same way. A COMPLETE TRAINING SYSTEM • Log full workouts — sets, reps, rest timers, and holds timed automatically • Use our built-in routines and exercises, or create custom ones WATCH THE NUMBERS CLIMB Watch your longest holds climb, keep your weekly streak alive, and see how often your kick-ups stick — real proof you're getting better, week after week. BATTLE YOUR FRIENDS Go head-to-head with up to 10 players. Handstand Lab runs the battle for you — compete at longest hold or straightest line! UPLOAD YOUR CLIPS TO GOOGLE DRIVE Send your clips to your own Drive so a coach can review your form and give you feedback — and your whole training history stays backed up. • Auto-upload and organize every session, hands-free • Or upload one session at a time, whenever you want SAVE STORAGE SPACE Only your handstands are saved — never the waiting in between. • Choose your recording quality • Record in high quality, but let Handstand Lab compress only your old clips to free up space — so you get the best of both worlds • Effortlessly remove clips that have already been backed up to Google Drive • Bulk-delete the clips that don't matter, filtered by length, form and more YOUR VIDEO STAYS YOURS Your training video stays on your device by default. Sign-in is optional — and when you do, only your records sync across your devices: times, dates, and form stats, never your video. Analytics are anonymous, and there are no ads. Handstand Lab is a personal training tool — not a medical device, and not a replacement for good coaching. Train within your ability.
