What's New in Boardsesh

2.6.0

October 15, 2026

SPRAY WALLS: YOUR WALL IN BOARDSESH Add a photo of your home wall or your gym's spray wall, review the detected holds, and start setting boulders. Queue climbs, save them to playlists and log your sends. No LEDs needed. Keep a wall private or share it with your crew by link or QR code. Reset your wall while keeping its old climbs and sends archived. Download a wall to keep its photo, holds and climbs available with no signal. On iPad, use Apple Pencil to mark holds. YOUR CREW AND YOUR NEXT GO Find your crew's live sessions on Home. Open a climb to see logs from people you follow alongside your own, and follow setters to see their new climbs in your crew feed. Set a rest interval after each logged climb, or climb on a fixed timer. Turn on automatic queue advance and keep Boardsesh open between goes. Use Play next to put a climb straight after the one on the wall, or add a playlist without clearing your queue. MORE WAYS TO MAKE IT YOURS - Choose which sections appear below a climb, including beta videos, logs and similar climbs. - Turn on Use my grades to browse, sort and filter by your own grades. - Similar climbs and the hold heatmap work on your downloaded board with no signal. - Switch to another board at your gym from the wall panel. - Export your climbing history, playlists and climbs from Settings. FIXES FOR YOUR NEXT SESSION - MoonBoard grades now use MoonBoard's V scale. Logbook imports also accept exports with reordered columns or climb names instead of IDs. - On Woods, turn on Other angles to include climbs set at different angles. The setter filter follows your angle choice. - Sends logged on a flaky connection wait for signal and retry syncing. - Swiping through climbs stays on the list you picked, even when a new log reorders it. - Fixed an iOS launch crash and unwanted Safari tabs when opening the app. Free, no ads, open source.

struggling to publish a climb

I’m at my local moonboard, I made a climb, but it seems I can only save it as a draft, how do I publish the climb?

Awesome app!

Better than any one of the original board apps. Adding new features and fixing bugs almost daily. This has a been a long time coming…

Bluetooth fixed!

Thanks so much for fixing iPhone Bluetooth on the Kilter Board. Works great now!

How can I support / give back?

I don’t want an account

Update2: Or with one.

Update: the app is suddenly completely unusable without an account.

I downloaded this because I don’t need my ticks published or anything. I like that I can use the board at all, but dislike that it refuses to log data locally.

Great progress. Please add circuit and timer features!

I would love to see a timer feature added that enable auto-advancing between problems (eg cycle through a playlist at set intervals) Eventually a “route” feature would be amazing to create longer problems with holds that progressively light up for a set amount of time then turn off (enabling longer circuits around the board)
