Sprint Start helps athletes train reaction time and block starts without needing a partner. When you train alone, it’s impossible to create a truly random start — you always anticipate the “go” in your head. That anticipation doesn’t exist in a race. Sprint Start fixes that. By delivering unpredictable start cues with adjustable timing, Sprint Start allows you to practice your reaction and block starts in a way that actually translates to competition.

DrivePhase is a sprint analysis tool. Film any sprint with your phone, get a frame-by-frame breakdown of how you move, and keep your analysis, timing, nutrition, and progress in one place. SPRINT ANALYSIS Record side-on with any recent iPhone. DrivePhase uses pose estimation to map your body through the run and measure what the eye can't catch: joint angles, stride length, ground contact, and the phase transitions across the sprint. Most analyses come back in under a minute. No tripod, no markers, no extra hardware. DRIVEPHASE INTELLIGENCE An AI assistant for your sprinting. Ask about a past 100m start, a hip-extension trend, or last week's session, and it answers from your own uploads and logs. It can also search the web for anything beyond your data. It is a software tool, not a coach, trainer, or medical advisor. PROGRESS DASHBOARD Season bests, trending metrics, and block-over-block comparisons turn every session into a chart you can actually read. BUILT FOR ATHLETES Made for sprinters. Because the analysis works on any sprint clip, jumpers, hurdlers, and any athlete who sprints can use it too. PRIVACY Your video is encrypted in transit and at rest and stays private to your account. We do not sell your data. DrivePhase measures how you move using pose estimation. We do not use facial recognition and never use your data to identify you. You can delete everything from your account with one tap.
