## What is Get a Grip?

Get a Grip runs your daily finger training. Build your routine once and it greets you every time you open the app, one tap from pulling. The app connects to your Bluetooth force gauge, tares it, counts you in, and times every hold from what your fingers actually do. Chalk up or shake out mid-set and the clock stops with you: it only runs while you hold your target load.

Works with the Tindeq Progressor and the Frez Dyno, with experimental support for several other BLE gauges and crane scales. Left the gauge at home? Every routine also runs as a plain timer.

There is no exercise library to curate. A grip is just an edge depth, which fingers, and a position, written straight on the set. Prescribe 25% of max once and every grip resolves to its own target load, per hand, from the maxes you have measured. Choose pounds or kilograms in Settings. The rest countdown starts when you actually let go of the edge, and if the next set is on a different grip, the rest screen says so before you get there.

A Live Activity keeps the countdown and the target on your Lock Screen for the whole session. Every rep is recorded. A day of climbing at the gym counts as training too, because it is.

No account, no analytics, no ads. Your data stays on your iPhone and in your own iCloud, nowhere else. The whole app works in English and French.

Get a Grip is an independent app, not made by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Tindeq or any other gauge maker.

### How often is Get a Grip updated?

The app was last updated on September 4, 2026, with version 1.0. As an independent app, update frequency may vary based on developer resources.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-20

• The live gauge is one tap from Today, and it now looks like the session screen: the trace fills the display, the numbers sit on one glass panel, the actions on one dock.
• History adds an all-time card: sessions, pulls, time under tension, volume, days trained, your heaviest pull.
• A session that runs past midnight counts for the evening it belonged to. Your training day now turns at 4 am.
• Deleting a routine also deletes its sessions, and Undo brings both back.
• Settings opens on the gauge picker, so choosing among the gauges the app works with is the first thing you see.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-20

The session screen is new. The force trace now fills the whole screen, and the numbers sit on one Liquid Glass panel that takes the colour of the moment: blue while the clock runs, amber when it is waiting on you. During a rest the countdown fills the screen, big enough to read from the wall.
• iPad: in landscape the graph takes the whole display, with your grip, the next pull and the controls in one column beside it.
• Apple Watch: the whole face is the colour of the state — blue to pull, green while the clock runs, red to re-grip, orange before a different grip.
• In Low Power Mode the digits snap instead of sliding, to spare the battery. The clocks keep counting.
• A gauge that delivers its readings in bursts no longer empties the graph.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-19

New gauge: Frez Dyno. Choose it under Gauge; a one-time note from Frez appears first. Its calibration is fetched once per unit from Frez — the app's only network request. Untested on real hardware: please report what you see.
• Start an alternating routine on the right hand: tap Swap under Hands in the routine builder.
• WH-C06 set to pounds no longer reads 2.2× too heavy; Diagnostics now name the scale's unit.
• Smoother editing in the routine builder on older iPhones.
• After your fifth session the app asks once for an App Store rating. Get a Grip is free and open source; a rating helps other climbers find it. You can also rate it any time from Settings.
• Privacy policy and terms updated for the calibration lookup.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-12

Fixed the 20-pull limit: sets now support up to 100 pulls per hand.

Maxes is easier to use:
• Measure again opens the gauge straight away.
• Measure your left and right hands in one visit, or save just one hand.
• Edit values by hand, review earlier records, and see how a new max changes your routine targets.
• Use the + button to add a max for another grip.

A few smaller additions:
• Preview a routine’s grips, timing and hand order before you start.
• Tap Last 14 days to open your history.
• During longer rests, see your next hand and grip with a larger countdown. The graph stays visible.
• Tidier Settings, with links to the Grip Connect and Crimpdeq open-source projects.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-09

Train in pounds or kilograms. Choose your weight unit in Settings and use it throughout the app, from live readings and targets to maxes and history.

Workouts are easier to follow from across the room: blue edges while you pull, orange when it's time to let go, and a quiet gray edge during rest. The rest label is clearer, and you'll see which hand is up next.

New workout peaks stay with the hand that recorded them. Choose which ones to save as maxes, with left, right and both hands kept separate.

We've also improved button spacing, WH-C06 reconnecting, and a countdown rounding issue that could briefly show an extra second.
