UpKick

AI juggling coach for iPhone

Every touch counts.

Prop up your iPhone and start juggling. UpKick’s on-device AI counts every touch, spots which foot played it and coaches your rhythm. Then challenge your squad.

iPhone · iOS 18 or later

A real replay exported from UpKick: 26 touches, counted live.

Set up in 30 seconds

Prop it. Step back. Juggle.

  1. Lean your phone

    Prop your iPhone against a bottle or a tripod, with the camera facing you.

  2. Step back

    Stand 2–3 metres (6–10 feet) away with your whole body in frame. Good light and a plain background help the AI.

  3. Start juggling

    Press start. UpKick counts every touch out loud, with haptics, so you never have to look at the screen.

  • No sensors
  • No special ball

What you get

A coach that watches every touch.

Counts every touch

A live count of every touch

Real-time ball tracking with on-device AI, with no sensors and no special ball. A live counter for every touch, your current run and every drop, plus a voice count and haptics.

A score for how you play

Every session gets a Touch IQ out of 100, built from five parts of your game.

  • Rhythm
  • Height
  • Control
  • Balance

Coaching

Know what to fix next

Session analysis shows your stronger foot, the ball height on every touch and every run. Then UpKick tells you what to work on: find your rhythm, lock the ankle, wake up your weak foot.

On iOS 26, iPhones with Apple Intelligence also get a personal note from an on-device AI coach after every session.

Replays

Replays worth sharing

Every session is recorded with the live counter on screen. Watch it back at ¼× or ½×, export the video with the counter burned in, or share a story-sized card. The clip at the top of this page is one.

Questions

Before you kick off.

Do I need a special ball or sensors?

No. UpKick uses your iPhone’s camera and on-device AI to track the ball. No sensors, no special ball.

How do I set up my phone?

Lean it on a bottle or a tripod with the camera facing you, then stand 2–3 metres (6–10 feet) away so your whole body is in frame. Good light and a plain background help.

Which iPhones does UpKick work on?

UpKick runs on iPhone with iOS 18 or later. The AI coach note uses Apple’s on-device model, so it appears on iOS 26 on iPhones that support Apple Intelligence.

Do I need a subscription?

Training sessions require an UpKick Pro subscription, weekly or yearly. You see the price for your country before you subscribe, and you can cancel at any time in your Apple Account settings.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Ball tracking runs on your iPhone, so your footage never has to leave it to be counted. Replays stay on your phone unless you save or share them.

How do challenges work?

Add a friend with their friend code, pick a target and a mode, and send the challenge. They see it waiting in their Squad tab.

Where can I get help?

The support page has setup tips and a way to contact us.
