Film a set.
SetBuddy shows you where your form broke down.
Prop your phone against something by the rack and do a set of bench, squat, or deadlift. It tracks your joints through the whole rep and flags what's off: the bar drifting forward, elbows flaring, the depth you thought you hit but didn't.
Set the phone down
Lean it against a water bottle from the side, the way you'd film your own clips anyway. One working set is enough.
— side angle preferredIt maps the rep
SetBuddy tracks your body through every frame and follows the bar from unrack to lockout. Your set is encrypted on the way to our servers, scored in seconds, and yours to delete whenever you want.
— encrypted in transit & at restIt names the fault
Every issue comes back ranked critical, moderate, or minor, with a short cue for fixing it and the clip of the rep it's pointing at.
— ranked by severityEvery rep gets checked against eight metrics.
Every issue gets flagged on both plans. If something's off, you'll see it called out, free or not. On Free, the 1–100 score breaks down the unsafe, injury-risk faults; Premium scores every issue and turns on the bar-path and joint-angle overlays.
It tells you what broke down.
Most apps give you a number and stop there. SetBuddy tells you the bar drifted forward coming out of the hole, or your elbows dropped on the press. Plain calls, each tied to the rep it happened on.

Workouts for your gear
Tell it what's in your gym, full rack or a pair of dumbbells, and it builds around that.
Every issue gets flagged on both plans. If something's off in your form, you'll see it called out, free or not. Nothing is hidden from you. The difference is the 1–100 score: on Free it breaks down only the unsafe, injury-risk issues; Premium scores every flagged issue, and adds the bar-path and joint-angle overlays, rep-by-rep playback, and higher upload limits.
it's early.
SetBuddy is in open beta. A small team in Portland is still building it, the model still misses things on bad camera angles, and it's free on the App Store and Google Play for exactly that reason. We'd rather you try it now and tell us where it's wrong than wait two years for a polished version that only guessed at what lifters need.
File a bug and it lands in front of the people writing the code, not a support queue.
Film your next set and see what it catches.
Free while it's in beta. Bring your worst-angle deadlift video; that's the one we want to get right.
