My Swing Thoughts
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most golf advice is forgotten by the next round. My Swing Thoughts is different: an AI golf coach that remembers every swing thought you've ever had — and helps you turn the ones that work into a mental game that actually holds up. Capture a thought the moment it clicks — on the range, after a lesson, mid-round — by voice, in seconds. The app transcribes and files it automatically. Then open the chat: your coach already knows every thought, session and focus cue you've logged, and uses all of it to help you make sense of your own game. HOW IT WORKS • Capture — Tap, talk for a few seconds, done. No typing. Your thought is transcribed, cleaned and filed. • Coach — Chat with an AI that has the full context of everything you've logged. It refines your thinking, surfaces patterns and asks the right questions. • Play — Set one focus thought for your round. Capture more as you play. Debrief with your coach afterwards. • Compound — Thoughts prove themselves over time, moving from New to Promising to Holding Up to Trusted, so what works for your swing rises to the top. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • A coach that remembers. Every thought and session is context your coach uses on every reply — the longer you use it, the sharper it gets. • Voice-first capture. Built for the exact moment a thought hits, when typing is the last thing you want to do. • Thoughts that earn their place. Your library becomes a personal playbook of what's actually working for you — not a generic tip feed. ALSO INSIDE • Active round mode — one focus cue, a calming breathing pulse and a capture button. Nothing else. • Round debriefs — your coach turns each round into a clear takeaway and a focus for next time. • Practice plans — personalised, multi-week plans built from your own thoughts and goals. • Drill library — save the drills your coach suggests and pull them up at the range. WHO IT'S FOR Golfers trying to get better — who take the odd lesson, watch tips online, and have a swing thought that works for two rounds and then vanishes. If you've ever wished you could remember what was working, this is for you. WHAT IT ISN'T No scorecard, no GPS, no yardages, no swing-video analysis. My Swing Thoughts is about your mental game and the thoughts that drive it — not stats or course management.
