Put your iPhone on a stand and your iPad where you can see it. That’s a live mirror of your swing, and an instant replay of every one you record.

See your swing while you make it.

The iPhone’s camera shows up live on the iPad, face-on or down-the-line, which gives you a mirror from an angle a real mirror can’t. Rehearse a move, glance up, and see what your body is actually doing.

Prop up the iPhone

On a stand or against your bag, face-on or down-the-line, with your whole body in frame.

Open Certus on the iPad

Signed in to the same account, the two find each other in seconds. You don’t need cables, a Wi-Fi network or an internet connection.

Pick Mirror and swing

The iPhone’s camera is on its screen, live, so you can make a move and look up to check it.

Nothing to record

Mirror doesn’t save anything, so use it for practice swings, checking positions or rehearsing a feel. The live view stays on in Swing and Practice too, so you can switch to recording without losing the picture.

The angles that matter

Face-on for sway, side bend and the head; down-the-line for plane and posture. Without this, you’d need a coach standing behind you to see it.

Look up and it’s already playing.

Record a swing and it reaches the iPad within seconds, then plays by itself in slow motion on a loop. You don’t have to walk back to the phone, find the clip or scrub to the swing. Hit a ball, watch it, adjust and hit the next one.

The iPad runs the session.

Whoever’s holding the iPad, you or a coach, can run the whole session from there. The iPad app is free; it doesn’t need its own subscription.

From the iPad

Run the iPhone remotely

Switch the iPhone between Mirror, Swing and Practice with one tap, start and stop a Swing take, flip between Speed and Accuracy from the frame-rate badge, and star the keepers, which save as favorites on the phone.

On the iPad

The overlays come too

Skeleton, hands trail and body lines are computed on the iPad itself, so the coach sees them on every frame.

For the coach

AirPods on either device

AirPods connected to the iPad can trigger the iPhone’s recorder, so a coach never has to walk over to the phone.

If the link drops

You’ll know, and it recovers

The iPad says so in red and reconnects by itself. Swings recorded in the gap are sent across as soon as it’s back.

Recording that gets the clip right.

Speed or Accuracy Tap the badge

Speed records at up to 240fps for true slow motion, in Swing and Practice. On iPhone Pro models, Accuracy records 60fps with live LiDAR depth, and it’s the default there. Switch any time, even mid-practice.

A framing coach in the viewfinder

A “What to measure?” guide sets the camera angle that answers your question. Then: “Move closer — golfer too small.” “Full body not in frame.” A silhouette and a level make sure the clip is worth analyzing before you swing.

Hands-free start

Press a volume button, click your AirPods stem, tap your Apple Watch in Swing mode, or set a timer of up to 15 seconds. Your hands stay on the club.

Trimmed to the swing

Every saved clip is cut to the motion itself, and tagged with its camera angle. The badge tells you honestly when heat or Low Power has lowered the frame rate.

Speed mode is for seeing; Accuracy mode is for measuring. On iPhones without LiDAR, Certus records in Speed mode.

Lines that move with your body.

Twenty-four built-in body-line overlays, drawn from the tracked skeleton. Each one either stays where you set up or follows you through the swing.

Review

Your setup, ghosted over your swing.

A see-through freeze of your address sits over the moving swing, so every inch you drift shows against it: the head coming up, the hips moving forward, posture lost.

Mark it up like a lesson.

Accuracy mode

Movement in real inches.

Accuracy mode’s LiDAR depth anchors the skeleton to real-world scale, so the readouts on overlays like pelvis sway, head sway, chest lift and thrust are in true inches, and angles like side bend are in degrees. The key readouts show tour ranges.

And when a camera angle physically can’t see a movement, Certus doesn’t show a number for it at all. Sway needs a face-on camera; thrust needs down-the-line, or LiDAR depth.

The same goes for readouts that didn’t hold up when we checked them against a 3D swing-analysis reference, such as chest side bend at impact from face-on. Those stay hidden until they measure up.

A second opinion on every swing.

Tell it your usual miss (slice, hook, push, fat or thin) and what you’re working on. AI Review studies key frames from each phase of your swing and writes back what’s working, the one fix that matters most (and up to two more if they’re clear), drills for it, and notes on each phase from setup to follow-through.

Tap an improvement and the video jumps to that phase. Save the review to your Journal. For a coach, share a Swing Report: one image of six key positions, address to finish.

This week’s swing against your best.

Put any two swings side by side, or lay one over the other. One tap aligns them at impact; Certus fits clip B onto clip A so the golfers match in size, and you can nudge, scale or rotate from there.

Then step both together, frame for frame, at quarter, half or full speed, and draw on either. Side by side, turn the phone sideways and both whole swings fill the screen top to bottom, with the controls moved out to the edges.

  • Side by side or overlay
  • Auto-align at impact
  • Auto-fit, then adjust
  • Sideways for full frames

Hit balls and Certus files every swing.

Start a practice session and keep swinging for up to thirty minutes. Certus spots each swing from your motion, confirms it with the sound of impact, and saves each one as its own clip. If an iPad is connected, each clip goes straight to it.

Practice mode

One continuous session; every swing detected and clipped into a Practice folder, with a summary when you’re done.

Up to 30 min, auto-clipped

Analysis while you sleep

Swings you record one at a time are analyzed right away. A practice session’s clips wait until the phone is charging, so the range doesn’t cost you battery. To run one sooner, open it and tap Analyze.
