Author at the speed of a thought
Quick play turns formations and ball targets into an animated play in seconds; the full 3D editor is there when timing, camera and detail matter.

From a coach's idea to the gym in one minute
Tempo closes the gap between the whiteboard and the court: sketch a play, see it move in 3D, record it and hand it to the team from a phone — without installing software or editing video. The browser is the delivery mechanism and the rules are the shared reference.
Show, don't describe
Phase notes, annotations and frame-perfect video make a tactic legible to a player who never saw the original diagram.
No installs, no audience limits
The tool runs in the browser, falls back to embedded PGlite for a local demo, and presents on the phone at the net.
Why it stands out
The decisions, trade-offs, and details that make Tempo worth your time.

Everything a coach needs between the whistles
Tempo closes the gap between the whiteboard and the gym: a fast authoring mode for the idea, a full 3D editor for the details, and a presentation mode for teaching it on the sideline.
Interactive quick play
Skip setup and start on the court: drag the receive formation, tap three ball targets, pick who receives, sets and spikes, choose the block count, then watch natural curved runs animate. Undo/redo everywhere with Ctrl+Z.
Full 3D editor
Keyframe timelines record player positions and poses; ball paths are authored as Catmull-Rom beziers per action. Scrub, retime, slow-motion and step frame by frame — no physics engine required.
Teaching layer
Phase markers with coaching notes, 3D annotations with visibility windows, movement ghost trails and a court-zone overlay turn a diagram into a lesson.
Video studio in the browser
MediaRecorder captures the canvas for instant shares; a deterministic WebCodecs renderer produces frame-perfect H.264/VP9 MP4s with WhatsApp, Instagram, Presentation, Slow-mo and GIF presets — plus GLB export.
Match-grade scorecard
Live rally scoring, sets and rotation tracking, configurable timeouts and match clock, substitutions, sideout %, points by rotation, longest runs, restorable match history and PDF/JSON reports.
Presentation PWA
A full-screen /present/:playId view with a chapter bar, drill mode with hidden/revealed paths, public read-only play links and QR codes — built for a phone held at the net.
Visual rules reference
45 seeded rules across scoring, rotations, faults, contact, net, serve and libero, each with court diagrams for visual learners, and the official FIVB 2025–2028 rules bundled as PDF.
Real player models
Load any Mixamo/skinned .glb, map its clips to the 12 volleyball poses, auto-scale and strip root motion — with a procedural mannequin fallback so the tool always works.
Zero-dependency local run
PostgreSQL 16 in production or embedded PGlite for a completely local development and demo setup — no external services to configure.
From tactic to team
A workflow designed around how coaching actually happens: a thought between drills, a refinement on the laptop, a clip in the team chat, a walkthrough at training.
Author
Sketch the play in quick mode or take full control in the 3D editor. Formations, positions, libero, blocks and ball targets are all a few taps away.
Animate
Add phases, annotations and camera moves. Scrub the timeline, retime runs and check every rotation from the coach's view or a player's point of view.
Record
Export a frame-perfect MP4 directly in the browser with a preset tuned for the place you'll share it — chat, social or presentation.
Teach
Open the presentation PWA at the gym or share a public read-only link with a QR code. The whole team sees the same play, exactly as you drew it.
