Golf Swing Camera helps players and coaches record, review, and share golf swings on iPhone and iPad. Set up your phone, step into view, and swing when ready. The app watches for swing motion during a continuous practice session, automatically captures each swing, trims the clip, saves it to your library, and opens it for review. Keep practicing without walking back to the camera after every shot. MANUAL RECORDING FOR COACHES Choose Manual on the camera screen to start and stop recording yourself. Film a player, drill, or demonstration and save the full video without automatic swing trimming. Automatic recording remains the default. Set Manual as your default recording mode in Settings if you mainly use the app for lessons. REVIEW EVERY DETAIL Watch swings in slow motion at 0.25x, 0.5x, or full speed. Step through frames, loop key sections, scrub precisely, add swing-position markers, draw lines and angles, and use body-point overlays and suggested checkpoints to study your movement. COMPARE SWINGS SIDE BY SIDE Choose two swings from a session or directly from review. Play them together with synchronized slow motion, pause on matching positions, and scrub both clips precisely to spot changes in setup, sequencing, and impact. CREATE A COACH REVIEW Record a narrated review with synchronized playback, pauses, and timed drawings. Voice processing uses the iPhone's built-in microphone for clear narration, and the finished review can be shared with a student, coach, or friend. BUILT FOR PRACTICE • Automatic swing capture or manual start and stop • Recording up to 240 fps on supported devices • Adaptive frame rates when device conditions require it • Front and rear camera support • Configurable pre-roll and post-roll • Local swing library organized by practice session • Multi-select for comparing or deleting clips • Import swing videos from Photos • Share original, annotated, or Coach Review clips • Optional iCloud library sync over Wi-Fi or cellular PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account is required.

Set your iPhone or iPad on a tripod facing you, swing, and look up: the swing you just made is already playing on the screen, a few seconds late. No need to press record, stop or rewind. Free on one device. Golf Swing Partner shows the camera with a delay you choose (2 to 20 seconds), so there is always time to finish your swing, look up and watch it. Every shot, automatically. ■ DELAYED REPLAY, HANDS-FREE - The screen always shows the video from a few seconds ago (2–20 s, 6 s to start) - Normal speed and full screen: your swing exactly as it happened - Switch between Live and Delay with one tap - The screen stays on while you practice ■ YOUR CAMERA AT ITS BEST - Front camera to watch yourself like a mirror, or the main camera for the sharpest picture - Up to your device's maximum resolution and frame rate (up to 4K, up to 240 fps where supported). Higher frame rates mean less blur on the club and hands - Pinch to zoom, double-tap to reset ■ TWO DEVICES Film with one device and watch on the other: set one to Camera and the other to Monitor. They connect directly to each other, so no Wi-Fi network or router is needed; just turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. After the first pairing they reconnect by themselves. Change the camera's settings and zoom from the monitor. ■ RECORD YOUR SWINGS Tap record to start and tap again to stop. The video is saved to the Photos app. ■ FREE AND PRO - Free: delay playback on one device with no time limit, and the two-device link for up to 5 minutes - Pro (one-time purchase, no subscription): unlimited two-device link and recording, on all your devices with the same Apple Account ■ PRIVACY No account and no data collected. Video stays on your devices, and recordings go only to your Photos library. Requires iOS or iPadOS 17 or later.
