Your Swing Studio
Studio-grade capture and analysis on the devices you already own.
Manual camera control, capture that starts itself, grading that runs on your phone, and a coach that remembers what you talked about last time. Eight things MotionEdge does — jump to any of them.
Capture
Every camera control, and a camera that presses record for you.
Five ways to catch a swing
Set the phone down and let the camera find each swing on its own — no button between shots, no clips to trim, and sensitivity you can turn down when practice swings start getting caught too.
Or start it however suits the session: tap Manual, use Voice when you want both hands on the club, trigger from your Apple Watch without touching the phone, or let a paired TrackMan fire the capture off ball flight.
The last two bring their data with them. A swing triggered by the Watch or by TrackMan arrives with that device's numbers already attached, so the metrics and the video are paired from the moment it lands — and your AI Coach reads both together.
Manual control when you want it
Underneath the automation is control most golf apps never expose. Fast-Shutter Mode caps the shutter at 1/250s and biases ISO up to keep the frame bright, stepping down to 1/125 or 1/60 when a bay is too dim — that is what freezes the club at impact instead of smearing it. Both sliders are yours when you want them, which matters in an indoor simulator, where a fast shutter catches LED flicker.
Choose your lens — back main for the best optics, ultra-wide for a tight bay, front for self-coaching — plus your resolution and frame rate.
Any device can be a camera. Any device can be the screen.
Every iPhone, iPad and Mac you own is a potential camera. Devices recording you are Remotes; the one you coordinate from is the Director, and it shows every live feed at once, starts captures, and replays each swing the instant it lands. Any combination works — what matters is which device is pointed at you.
The Director contributes an angle of its own, too: a Mac's built-in or Continuity camera, an iPad's own lens. So 4 cameras can be 4 devices you already have in the bag and the car.
Label each angle face-on, down-the-line or impact cam, and pick which one drives auto-detect. Then stand the Director on the ground in front of you and never walk back to the tripod again — glance down for the live view before the swing and the replay right after it. A Mac makes a particularly good Director: the big screen is where the detail actually shows up between shots.
Analysis
Graded on the device that filmed it.
Every joint, every frame
Pose tracking, posture grading, hand-path grading, the 10-position filmstrip, comparison and tempo all run on your phone. No upload, no queue, no spinner — and no signal required, which matters at a range with one bar.
The skeleton draws straight onto the video and moves with you through the swing, so you can watch the shoulders, hips and knees change frame by frame rather than guessing from a still.
Setup against impact, measured
Posture Check does not just show you two frames — it puts address and impact side by side and states the difference. Spine tilt +50° at setup, +57° at impact, a +7° delta. Hip depth 5% of torso away from the ball. Numbers, not impressions.
Hand-path grading compares each downswing frame against the matching point on your backswing curve, so "over the top" and "in the slot" stop being opinions and become a measurement you can watch move session to session.
Everything here is in the free tier, and it is the part of MotionEdge that never sees our servers.
One view, or all of them at once
Study one panel at a time, or open the quad grid and put the video, the filmstrip, Posture Check and Hand Path on screen together — the swing, its 10 positions, the posture numbers and the hand path all in one glance.
Review
Key positions, side by side, marked up.
The swing, broken into its key positions
Every swing comes back as a filmstrip of 10 labelled frames — the swing-sequence spread from a golf magazine, generated automatically from your video. Pose overlays, angle arcs and the hand-path trace draw straight onto the frame.
Your swing against a reference, measured on both
Put up to 10 swings side by side: yours across sessions, or an imported tour pro next to you. Reference mode overlays or splits two swings with synced scrubbing; Ghost compares a swing against itself.
Posture Check runs on each of them. Every swing shows its own address-to-impact change — spine tilt and hip depth, with the delta stated — so comparing your swing to a reference is comparing two sets of numbers, not two impressions. One golfer loses 7° of spine tilt and moves away from the ball; the other gains 8° and moves toward it. That difference is visible immediately.
You do not draw anything to get this. No plumb lines, no angle tools, no frame-by-frame marking — the measurement happens on the device as the swing lands, and it is there when you open the swing.
Then mark it up yourself
When you do want to draw, the tools are there: straight lines, arrows, a ruler, angles, circles and freehand, in seven colours and three widths. Marks stick to the swing and sync to anyone you have shared the session with — the coach's whiteboard, built into the video.
On Mac you can open as many review windows as you want and work across them.
AI Coach
A coach that picks up where you left off.
Ask about the swing in front of you
Ask why you are losing it right and it answers from your swing — your video, pose data, tempo, hand path, TrackMan numbers and Watch metrics — rather than from a generic tip. It cites the frames it is reading, gives you one cue to work on, and suggests drills that point back at the exact frames they came from.
It also tells you what it cannot see. When the camera angle will not support a call on face angle or club path, it says so and asks for the angle that would — instead of inventing a number that sounds authoritative.
Or ask about any part of the game
It is not limited to the swing on screen, and you do not have to think up the question. A built-in topic library covers Golf Tempo, Rotation Mechanics, Short Game, Putting, Swing Positions, Fault Diagnosis, Strokes Gained, Playing the Weather, the Mental Game and the Kinematic Swing Sequence — and each one opens into specific questions rather than sitting there as a vague heading.
Under Mental Game: building a pre-shot routine, playing under pressure, first-tee jitters, what you say to yourself between shots. Under Kinematic Swing Sequence: what the chain from pelvis to clubhead actually is, why each segment has to slow down to fire the next one, whether any of it changes from driver to wedge. Under Playing the Weather: what wind, rain and temperature do to the ball and to your strategy.
And every answer comes back to you. The coach already knows your swing, so a question about sequencing is answered against your sequencing rather than in the abstract — the topic is the way in, your swing is the subject.
And it remembers the conversation
The swings you bring it — and the cues that came out of them — carry into the next conversation, so it builds a picture of you as a golfer: your tendencies, your focus areas, the kind of feedback that lands. Set a Training Profile and it builds answers around the one thing you are working on instead of restarting every session.
Conversations are kept, grouped into topics, and searchable — so the answer you got three weeks ago is still there. Answers are grounded in peer-reviewed biomechanics and motor-learning research, and the model is told where that research runs out, so it separates what is established from what is not. Ask in whatever depth suits you, from the full mechanical explanation to a single feel.
Your coaching history stays on your device and in your own private iCloud.
Your library
A practice journal, not a pile of clips.
Tag it while you remember why it mattered
Recording a swing is easy. Remembering, three weeks later, which one was the swing where you finally shallowed the club — that is the hard part.
So every swing carries what you give it: a name, the club you hit, tags, a star, comments, and the person who hit it — useful when you are filming a friend or a student, not just yourself. Date and time come free, and so does the course, captured from where you were standing or set by hand.
The app adds its own: which swings are multi-angle, which are screen recordings, and the grade it gave your hand path or posture.
Then actually find it again
Search the whole library by any of it — a tag, a club, a person, a course, a name you gave a swing months ago. Filter down to favourites, multi-angle captures or screen recordings, or narrow by date.
Swings live in sessions, and you can move them between sessions when one range trip turns out to have been two. Nothing is buried in a camera roll with three hundred other clips.
And track the one thing you are working on
Training Profiles follow a single specific thing across every swing you take and grade it automatically, so you can see whether the thing your coach gave you last month is actually improving — and your AI Coach builds its answers around that goal instead of giving generic advice.
Your gear
Launch numbers beside the swing that produced them.
Bring in a whole studio session
Import a stroke file, paste a report link, or connect live to a TrackMan on your network — including setting the centre aim point, so club path, face angle and launch direction are measured against the target line you actually aimed at.
A studio session arrives intact: every swing, every camera angle you filmed it from, and the numbers for each one. Two angles of the same shot sit side by side with that shot's radar data next to them.
Every number, next to the swing that made it
Ball flight: ball speed, launch angle and direction, spin rate and axis, carry, total, max height, landing angle, hang time, curve and side. Club: club speed, attack angle, club path, face angle, face-to-path, dynamic loft, dynamic lie, spin loft, smash factor, swing direction, swing plane and radius. Impact: face strike vertically and horizontally, and low point.
Conditions ride along too — indoor or outdoor, altitude, the device and its firmware. And indoor distances are labelled as modelled at TrackMan's reference atmosphere rather than quietly presented as real carry, so you know which numbers are measured and which are computed.
And your coach reads both
Your AI Coach sees the radar numbers and the video as one thing, which is the correlation neither a launch-monitor app nor a video app can make on its own: what your body did, and what the ball did about it.
Your gear
Run the session from your wrist.
The whole session, without touching the phone
Start a session, switch the camera between rear and front, set the frame rate, pick the training profile you are working on, and go — all from the watch face, with the phone forty feet away on a tripod.
Then swing. The Watch triggers the capture itself, with sensitivity tuning that tells a real swing from a waggle, so the phone records without anyone pressing anything.

Start, camera, training — from the watch face. 
Switch lens and frame rate on the phone, from your wrist. 
Your training profile comes with you.
And it measures things a camera cannot
Tempo comes off the wrist directly, along with peak hand speed — motion the camera has to infer, measured instead. Haptic rhythm training runs with the phone still in the bag, so you can groove a tempo without filming anything at all.
Each swing also carries its own environment: altitude, pressure and sensor context, recorded at the moment you hit it.
Everywhere
Capture on one device, pick up on another.
One library, every screen you own
Native iPhone, iPad and Mac apps — not a phone app stretched to fit. Record at the range, walk inside, open your iPad or Mac, and the session is already there and already analyzed.
Everything syncs through your own private iCloud, with no account to create and no coaching database on our side. On Mac you can open as many independent windows as you like — a swing per window, the library, the AI Coach, a comparison — the way you already use Finder or Preview.
And you can see exactly what it is using
Storage is not a mystery number. Settings shows what MotionEdge holds in iCloud, what is on this device and how many videos that is, and how much has been offloaded — all of it stated plainly rather than buried.
Turn on Optimize Local Storage and older videos live in iCloud until you want one, then download automatically when you play it. Reclaim Storage Now frees space on demand, and because your library is synced, reclaiming space does not put a swing at risk.
Sync status is just as visible: it tells you it synced, and how long it took.
