Keepy-uppies, counted out loud.

Prop up your iPhone and juggle while it does the counting.

iPhone, iOS 18 or later. Private beta.

It says the number so you don’t have to.

Every touch gets a number, spoken as it happens. Your eyes stay on the ball, which is where they should have been all along.

When it can’t tell a touch from a bounce, it doesn’t guess in your favour. It marks the touch “to check”, and you settle it afterwards.

Juggler, live countA floodlit training wall at night. A player keeps the ball up off the thigh; the ball leaves a neon trail. The score bug reads attempt 8, 1:17, 22 total; the count plate shows 14; the ladder marks today 9 and the record 23. 9:41 ATT81:1722TOTAL TODAY 9 RECORD 23 14 14 1 to check
Illustration. Not a real session.

Illustration: a propped-up phone films a player juggling. Beside it, each touch is counted and spoken: fourteen, then one unsure touch marked “to check” instead of counted, then fifteen, sixteen and on.

A session, start to finish.

  1. Prop it up.

    Lean the phone against a bag or a bottle, or hand it to a friend. Get yourself and the whole height of the ball in view, in decent light.

  2. Raise an arm.

    That starts it. No walking back to tap the screen with a muddy finger.

  3. Juggle.

    It drops, you pick it up, you go again. Each attempt is counted on its own.

  4. Both arms up.

    Session over. Go and get the ball out of the hedge.

Three ways to play it

  • Free

    No finish line.

    For the evenings you just want to see how it’s going.

  • Target

    10, 20 or 50 in a row.

    Pick the one you can’t quite do yet.

  • Timed

    30, 60 or 120 seconds.

    Juggle until the clock runs out.

Then you watch it back.

After every session you get your best attempt, your touches, how many attempts it took and how long you were out there.

Replay draws the ball’s path over the video and graphs its height, touch by touch. Slow it down and you’ll find the exact moment it went wrong. It’s usually the weaker foot.

If a touch is marked “to check”, Replay asks you: touch or bounce? You make the call, and the count updates.

Juggler keeps four records. Three of them only go up.

It stays on your phone.

  • The ball tracking runs on your iPhone. There’s no account to make and nothing to sync. Juggler doesn’t send your sessions anywhere on its own.
  • Recordings are video only, no microphone. The phone hears nothing you say when the ball goes in the neighbour’s garden.
  • Don’t want video at all? Choose Stats only and Juggler keeps the numbers without a replay.
  • When you want to show someone, share a stats card or the annotated video. That only happens when you choose to.

Questions

Something else? support@lesscorp.org

What do I need?

An iPhone with iOS 18 or later, a football, room to juggle and decent light. Prop the phone up securely or get someone to hold it, with you and the whole path of the ball in view.

Can I download it now?

Not yet. Juggler is in a private TestFlight beta and isn’t on the App Store. Email support@lesscorp.org to ask about joining.

How accurate is the count?

It’s an estimate, and a fairly honest one. Poor light, blur, a wobbling phone or the ball leaving the frame can all throw it off. When it isn’t sure, it marks the touch “to check” instead of counting it, and you can review and correct any count in Replay.

Do I have to touch the phone?

No. Raise an arm to start a session and hold both arms up to finish.

Does it record video of me?

Only if you want it to. Choose Replay + stats to keep the video, or Stats only to keep the numbers without it. Recordings have no microphone audio. They stay in the app until you delete them.

Do I need an account?

No. There isn’t one. Your sessions live in the app on your phone. iCloud or computer backups may include them, depending on your device settings.

How do I delete a session?

Open a session’s details to remove just the replay and keep the stats. To remove the whole session, touch and hold it in History, then choose Delete session. That doesn’t touch copies you’ve already shared or videos in your Photos library.

Is there an Android version?

No. Juggler is iPhone only.
