Tactics board software that does not stop at the drawing
Most board tools give you a pitch and some arrows. Teloframe gives you the pitch, the animation, the 3D view, the export that fits where it lands, and the drill and session planner it feeds afterwards. Open it without an account.
What you get, stated plainly
Every number on this page is read off the live product. Nothing here is a roadmap item.
29 built-in formations
4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 3-5-2, 4-1-4-1, 5-3-2 and everything between. Applied to home and away independently, so you can set your shape against theirs.
13 drawing tools
Arrows, curves, arcs, zones, freehand, text, plus a shape tool that joins players into a defensive line, a multi-arrow, a spotlight and a highlight ring that tracks a player.
40 pre-authored patterns
Build-up and final-third scenes drawn by hand, ready to load onto your board with your own colours and pitch styling intact.
Synced 2D and 3D
The same document rendered two ways. Six camera modes, custom waypoint paths, a stadium shell and rigged players. Free on every plan.
A real animation timeline
Keyframes, named phases and seven easings, plus per-segment authoring: who carries the ball, whether it rolls, is driven or lofted, and the route each runner takes.
Coaching overlays, free
Thirds, five lanes, half spaces, zone 14, corner delivery zones and analyst grids. They teach positional ideas, so they are not behind a paywall.
From blank pitch to something your players have seen
Four moves, the same path every tactic takes inside Teloframe.
Load a shape
Pick one of 29 formations, or start from one of the 40 patterns if you want a position rather than a blank pitch.
Draw the idea
Runs, passes, triggers, zones, defensive lines. Every mark takes colour, width, opacity, dash style and fill, and can be limited to the frames it explains.
Animate it
Set keyframes, name the phases, author each segment. Ghost trails, onion skin and player paths show the whole move while it is paused.
Ship it
Export PNG, GIF or MP4 in the frame it is going into, present it on the room screen, publish it to the library or hand it to the drill editor.

The reasons coaches stop opening the old tool
Not the headline features. The small things that decide whether you keep it open on a Tuesday night.
Two undo stacks, 50 steps each
Drawings and player positions keep separate histories. Undoing a stray line never teleports your back four, which is the single most annoying thing about generic canvas tools.
Board-only mode
One key hides every panel for the meeting room screen. Presenter view goes further with a separate branded URL you can throw on the projector.
Exports rendered locally
GIF and MP4 are encoded in your browser. Nothing uploads, nothing queues, nothing sits on a render farm waiting for you.
Downgrades do not break boards
Paying gates authoring a look, never possessing one. If a subscription lapses, boards you already styled keep their styling and stay editable.
A board is not the end of the job
The thing that separates a tactics board from a drawing app is what happens to the drawing afterwards.
It becomes a drill
Save the board as a drill and every player, annotation and keyframe carries into the drill editor, where you add setup notes, equipment and coaching points.
It becomes a session
Drills land in the session planner, so the shape you drew on Monday is on the pitch on Tuesday with a timing and a load attached.
It becomes the squad's
Boards live in a team and a club workspace rather than in one coach's downloads folder, with a shared library everyone can pull from.
