An upcoming iPhone app says it can identify serves in video, score phases of the motion, and suggest one adjustment at a time.

Tennis players practising their serves
Worth noticing
The site says the app works offline without an account; its browser-based serve example is labeled simulated.

Field notes

The homepage lays out a courtside setup checklist, including framing the player's shoes and head and checking light and steadiness before serving. Its lab lets visitors change serve type and inspect phases such as toss, load, and contact, but labels the example simulated. The site also claims session recording continues with the phone locked and that recordings stay on-device; those are product descriptions rather than demonstrated capabilities here.
