## What is Drilld?

Pickleball training that doesn't pretend.

Drilld gives you the drills you actually need at your level. It builds a personalized session every day based on your weaknesses, your goals, and how much time you have. It tracks what you actually drilled — not just what you tapped. You earn your way up a 5-tier ladder, drill by drill. No gold stars for showing up.

Built for serious recreational players who want to get measurably better.


WHAT'S INSIDE

• Adaptive daily session. Pick your time (15–240 minutes), your skill level, your partners. Drilld picks the drills.

• 5-tier mastery ladder per drill. Clear Tier 1 through Tier 5 — then Master+. Each tier has a real benchmark you have to actually hit. Drilling you don't measure isn't drilling.

• 134 drills and 20 concept lessons in the Library. Every drill tracked on its own mastery ladder. Every concept explained in plain English — the soft game, the third-shot drop, kitchen geometry, opponent types. No jargon.

• A full Learn reference hub. The "study" half of getting better — rules and scoring, court geometry, plays and patterns, partner communication, opponent types, and the match-day mental game.

• Real game log. After a match, log it honestly: what actually cost you points. The app routes that into your next session.

• Reality Check. Every two weeks the app asks you to honestly rate your current level. If your self-rating drifts from your drilling data, it tells you.

• Comeback mode. If you fall off for a few days, the app doesn't shame you — it routes you into a smart re-entry instead of pretending the streak never broke.

• Form-honesty reminders. Drilld can't watch your technique. It reminds you to get planted in good form first, so you're not grooving bad habits.

• Smart push reminders. Set when you want to drill. Drilld nudges, doesn't nag. You can mute everything in one tap.


WHAT DRILLD IS NOT

Drilld is not a coach. It can't watch your form. It can't tell you whether your grip is right. We recommend periodic check-ins with a real coach, especially in your first few months.

Drilld is not a guarantee. Your progress depends on practice frequency, partner quality, recovery, and honesty. The app is the system; you do the work.


FREE TIER IS PERMANENT

The parts of Drilld that work without sign-in will never be paywalled. Drilld Pro (when launched) adds milestone audits, refresher mode, cloud sync, and adaptive coaching tweaks. You'll never need it to use the app.


PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Drilld doesn't sell your data and doesn't run ads. We measure which features get used so we can tell what's worth building — no screen recording, no tracking you across other apps. Your training data stays on your phone unless you sign in; signing in backs it up and syncs it across your devices.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.8 Ready for Distribution — 2026-08-23

Drilld now opens the way it should.

THE OPENER
Launch the app and the court draws itself — line by line under the lights, then the wordmark comes up. Two and a half seconds, and it never holds you up: nothing waits on it and it waits on nothing. Tap to skip if you're in a hurry.

MORE OF THE LIBRARY, FREE
Free Drilld used to open exactly one drill — whichever happened to sit first in the list — so the library read as a wall of padlocks. It now opens one drill in every category. Whatever you came to work on, something in it opens.

SETUP THAT ANSWERS YOU
Weak spots cap at four and focus caps at three. Those caps were always there, but the fifth tap did nothing and said nothing, so people tapped again. Setup now tells you where you stand and how to swap a pick out.

A WAY OUT OF THE OFFER
The Pro screen has a plain exit now. The daily session really is free, and the screen says so, instead of leaving a small X in the corner as the only way past.

SMALL THINGS
Tap the tab you're already on and Drilld jumps to the top of it, the way everything else on your phone does.

### 1.1.6 Ready to Distribute — 2026-08-17

Sign-in buttons no longer get stuck.

Tap Continue with Apple or Continue with Google, then close the provider's window without signing in, and both buttons used to go grey and stay that way — no message, nothing left to tap, and the only way out was the X in the corner. The buttons are never disabled now. If a provider doesn't open, or you back out, tap the same button again and you're straight back to the sign-in screen.

Opened Drilld from a link inside another app — Instagram, Facebook, TikTok? The sign-in screen now tells you, and offers to copy the Drilld link so you can paste it into Safari. Apple and Google sign-in sometimes fail inside those built-in browsers. Email always works there.

The last step of setup no longer looks frozen. "See my training path" now says it's saving while it saves, instead of sitting silent long enough to make you tap it twice.

### 1.1.5 Ready to Distribute — 2026-08-16

Edit your Plan and today's session actually changes.

Change your weaknesses, session length, players, game mode, DUPR or equipment, save, and go back to Today — the drills update to match. Before this they stayed frozen until you tapped Regenerate or waited for the next day, which made editing your Plan feel like it did nothing. One exception, on purpose: if you've already logged a drill today, the session stays put. Your progress bar doesn't get rearranged mid-workout.

Milestone focus locks work the same way now. When a milestone check locks your focus, the banner says every session that week points there — and now the session actually does, from the day the lock lands instead of the day after.

Also fixed:
- Tapping a locked drill or concept opens a sheet explaining what Pro adds and how to unlock it, instead of doing nothing
- Signing in on a shared device no longer hands you the previous person's session

We've updated our Privacy Policy to cover the subscription events our server sends: your plan, its status, and payment retry counts. Card details, amounts and billing addresses aren't involved — we never receive them. Read it in Profile — Legal.

### 1.1.3 Ready to Distribute — 2026-08-14

Google sign-in comes to iPhone. Apple sign-in is still here — now you choose.

And signing in stopped being a fight. Tap either one and the button tells you it's working instead of sitting there silent. One button now does both sign in and create account, so there's no toggle to get lost in — type your email and password and Drilld works out which you needed. Don't want an account at all? Skip straight from the sign-in screen. Drilld works fully without one; an account only adds backup, sync across your devices, and the AI Coach. And once you're in, you land in your session instead of back at the screen you started from.

Drills you've finished stop coming back. Clear tier 5 and that drill leaves your rotation — there's nothing left to earn on it, so it stops taking a slot from something that will move you.

Billing fixes:
- Restore Purchase actually restores. Reinstall or switch devices and your subscription comes back.
- Trial-to-paid conversion no longer locks you out on day 15. Access re-syncs with the App Store.
- The paywall quotes the price you'll be charged.
- A lapsed subscription no longer gets shown free-trial copy it isn't eligible for.
- The paywall scrolls properly with every plan expanded.

Also fixed:
- Switching accounts no longer shows the previous person's progress
- "Back up now" actually saves a file
- About shows the real version number
- Your week's focus reflects what you chose, not whatever filled the slots

We've updated our Privacy Policy. Drilld now measures which features get used so we can tell what's worth building. No screen recording, no ads, nothing sold. Read it in Profile — Legal.
