On Rotations, choose New lineup from photo…, then take or pick a photo of a lineup sheet, a whiteboard court or a rotation wheel. Rotato AI reads who starts where, matches numbers and names to your roster, and shows you the result to check before you tap Add lineup.
How do I make a lineup from a photo?
- Start from Rotations. With the team selected, open the lineup menu and choose New lineup from photo….
- Take or choose a photo. Tap Take photo, Choose photo, or (on Mac) Image file…. A lineup sheet, a whiteboard court or a rotation wheel all work.
- Let Rotato read it. Rotato AI works out the serve order and starting rotation and matches each number or name to your roster.
- Check the result. Review What Rotato read, and fix anything listed under Check these.
- Add the lineup. Tap Add lineup. Players stay where the photo has them; change the system or swap players on Rotations afterward.
What photos work best?
A flat, well-lit photo with readable jersey numbers. Numbers match more reliably than first names, especially with handwriting. The players need to be on the team's roster first, so import your roster before you try it.
What is a command?
A command is one request to Rotato AI; a photo counts as 2. Everyone gets 10 free commands to try it, which is 5 photos. With the add-on you get 200 commands a month, resetting on the 1st, and you can buy 100 more commands for a busy month; those extra commands don't expire. You can see what you've used in Settings › Rotato AI.
How much does Rotato AI cost?
Rotato AI is $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year, and a pack of 100 more commands is $2.99. It's an add-on that works with any plan, including Free. See Plans and purchases.
What happens to my photo?
The photo and your team's roster (names, jersey numbers and positions) are sent through Rotato's server to Claude, an AI model from Anthropic, to work out who starts where. Anthropic doesn't train its models on them, and Rotato doesn't keep your photo. See the privacy policy.
Is this the same as importing a roster from a photo?
No. Roster photo import (Teams & Rosters › a team › Import roster) reads a list of players on your device with Apple's text recognition. It's free, nothing is uploaded, and it isn't Rotato AI. Rotato AI is for lineups: who starts in which spot.
