Your best training footage
is already lost
It’s in your camera roll between a photo of a parking spot and someone’s birthday. Your professor showed you that grip detail in March. You have the clip. You will never find it again.
Buried in days
A week of travel photos and it is gone. Scrolling is not a filing system.
No context
Six months on you cannot remember whose class it was, or which side the grip went.
Lost in translation
Your professor explained it perfectly. In Portuguese. You caught about a third.
The current fix is a camera roll and a WhatsApp thread. Free, universal, completely disorganised.
The app
Real training, real footage
What it does
A training library that behaves like one
Title
Discipline
Technique type
Position
Gym
Coach
Capture it at training
Record straight into the app, or import what is already on your phone. Uploads run in the background, so you can lock your phone and get back on the mat — it keeps going even if you close the app.
- Records and uploads in the background
- Import from your camera roll
- Compressed automatically, so it works on gym wifi
Tag it once, find it forever
Every clip gets a discipline, a technique type and a position. Add the gym and who taught it. Then search by any of it — or by a word someone said on the video.
- Discipline, technique type, position
- Gym, coach and location
- Favourites and filters
Write the detail down
The clip shows you what happened. The steps tell you why. Add them as text, or dictate them straight after the round while it is still fresh.
- Numbered steps per technique
- Dictate by voice
- Edit any time
Share with your corner
Send a specific clip to a training partner or your coach. They see that one video — not your whole library. Everything else stays private.
- Per-clip sharing
- Push notification when something lands
- Nothing is public by default
The lesson was in
Portuguese. Now it isn’t.
Train in Brazil and the detail that matters is usually the sentence you missed. LutaBase transcribes the audio in the language it was taught, then translates it — Portuguese to English, or English to Portuguese — and keeps both on the clip.
- Transcribes what your professor actually said
- Translates between Portuguese and English
- Both versions stay attached to the video
- The whole app runs in English or Português
More languages are on the way. Portuguese and English are live today.

Pricing
One plan. Everything in it.
No tiers, no per-video limits, no upsells. 14 days free to decide.
Prices shown in USD. Apple charges in your local currency at its equivalent tier, so the exact amount depends on your App Store region. Billed through your Apple ID once the free trial ends — manage or cancel any time in your Apple ID settings, at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid the next period.
Questions
Before you start
Do I need a payment method for the free trial?
Yes. The trial runs through Apple's In-App Purchase system, so a payment method on your Apple ID is required to start it. You are not charged until the 14 days are up, and cancelling before then costs nothing.
Who can see my videos?
Only you, unless you deliberately share a specific clip with a training partner. Nothing is public by default. Videos are stored in private cloud storage and are only served to your device through short-lived, expiring links.
How many techniques can I store?
As many as you like. There is no cap on videos, partners or storage.
Which languages does the translation handle?
Portuguese and English, in both directions. The transcription itself detects the language being spoken. More languages are planned.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. LutaBase is iOS only at the moment.
What happens to my videos if I cancel?
Your library stays where it is, but you will need an active subscription to open the app. If you delete your account, everything is permanently removed — videos, transcripts and all.
Does it use my data allowance at training?
Recordings are compressed before upload, and uploads continue in the background, so you can start one on gym wifi and leave. A typical technique clip is tens of megabytes rather than hundreds.
