What's New in Boardsesh

2.3.1

August 5, 2026

iOS 27 beta bug fix

User reviews

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 β€œroute” 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)

User friendly

Marco stepped into the gap after Aurora Kilter debacle and not only produced a usable app but a superior product. He has proven to be responsive to feedback with any glitches by rapidly addressing them. This app facilitates community by making it easy for a crew to use during a session. Best thing I can say about it.

awesome!

incredible alternative to the kilter app
