How it works
Pocket. Swing. Score.
No tripod, no camera, no setup ritual. Your iPhone’s motion sensors are the whole instrument — the phone rides in your front pocket and reads every swing.
Pocket your phone
Tap Start, slide your iPhone into your front pocket, and forget about it. No calibration, no aiming a lens, nothing to balance on a bench.
Swing normally
Hit your bucket like any other range session. The app detects each swing on its own — no taps between shots.
Get scored & coached
End the session and watch your Wrapped recap: Swing Score, tempo grade, power tier, hand speed, and one insight to carry to the next bucket.
Three layers of sensing — use what you have. The iPhone is the engine; Apple Watch and AirPods deepen the picture.
iPhone
Accelerometer + gyroscope detect every swing, grade tempo and rhythm, estimate power, and track session consistency. The core engine — no other device required.
Apple Watch
Wrist-side motion and heart rate: wrist action, kinetic sequencing, and how your body holds up across the session.
AirPods
Head-stability tracking — the quietest, most-overlooked fundamental in the swing. If your head moves, we’ll see it.
What you get
A full swing lab. Zero setup.
Six reasons this replaces the tripod — and the guesswork.
Swing Score
One number, 0–100, built from 16 measured skills — with your #1 opportunity called out first. It tells you which swings to study.
16 swing skills, Tour-benchmarked
Tempo, hand speed, kinetic sequence, wrist action, X-factor and more — every swing graded against Tour-pro benchmarks, not vibes.
Hip feedback
The only no-video swing app that reads your hip turn — rotation, sway, and sequencing, straight from the phone in your pocket.
AI Caddie
Ask anything. It knows your swing history and tells you what to work on next — and exactly why.
Session Wrapped
A swipe-through recap after every session: your money swing, your trends, and one coaching insight for next time.
No tripod. No video.
Everything runs on-device from motion sensors. Nothing to set up, nothing to record, nothing uploaded.
In the app

The skeptic question
No camera? How does it know?
Your phone, Watch, and AirPods each carry motion sensors sampling hundreds of times per second. PocketCaddie fuses them into one honest read on your swing — cross-checked across devices, filtered for false detections, processed entirely on-device.

FAQ
Quick answers.
Do I need a tripod or camera?
No. That’s the whole point. PocketCaddie uses motion sensors, not video, so there’s nothing to set up. Pocket your phone, swing, done.
Does it work indoors?
Yes. The app works anywhere you can take a swing — at home, at a simulator, in a net, or on the range. No GPS or location signal required.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. The iPhone alone gives you a Swing Score, tempo grade, power tier, and hand speed. An Apple Watch and AirPods add depth like wrist action and head stability, but they’re optional.
Is there a free version?
Every download starts with a 7-day free trial of the full app — every feature unlocked. After the trial it’s $9.99/month or $89.99/year, cancel anytime in Settings.
Where do I put my phone?
Your front pants pocket works best. Keep it snug so the phone doesn’t shift mid-swing — that’s the most reliable position for the motion sensors.
Is my data private?
Yes. Swing sessions are processed on-device first, and we don’t share your data with advertisers. See the Privacy Policy for the full detail: Privacy Policy
What iPhone do I need?
Any iPhone running iOS 17 or later. The motion sensors are standard across modern iPhones — no special hardware needed.
