Voice-native
Hold space. Say it. Done.
The whole capture interface is a held spacebar. Eyes on the pitch, not on a keyboard.

For coaches.
RugbyCoach started as a personal tool: voice-tag the match while watching the video, review the film, ship the Monday report. No manual spreadsheets. No rebuilt grades from memory.

02 / The problem
Coaches shouldn't spend Monday rebuilding the match.
Every coach knows the pattern. Match finishes. You have rough notes — a few lines in the back of a programme, timestamps on your phone, things you want to remember but won't once the debrief chaos starts.
Sunday or Monday evening: you're rebuilding the match from memory. Rewatching to fill gaps. Manually grading players into a spreadsheet you built two seasons ago. Writing the same debrief email you always write.
It is a lot of hours for analysis that could be instant if the data existed in the first place. That's the gap RugbyCoach closes — tag live, review later, report on Monday in minutes.

Built for the laptop in the film room.

Does this save time on Monday?
Every feature gets filtered through one question. If it doesn't save the coach time post-match, it doesn't ship.
