Dry Fire Pro turns your iPhone into a shot timer that actually hears your dry-fire shots — and now an aim trainer that sees your muzzle move. Tap start, hear the beep, draw and press — on-device machine learning detects your trigger click and measures your reaction time, splits, and consistency. Then Aim mode measures the other half: how far your muzzle moves as you break the shot, and why. No extra hardware, no ammo, no range fees. Just training. NEW — AIM MODE • Put a small sticker on your muzzle — or print our free 3D muzzle mount — prop up the phone, and the front camera measures your muzzle movement on every press. • Aim reads the direction your reps drift and names the fault — jerking, anticipating, heeling, too much finger — with the fix and a drill that trains it. • Estimated impact shows where that press would have landed on a target at your distance. • Hands-free: say "go" to start the next rep. Metric or imperial — your choice. TRAINED ON YOUR GUN • My Firearm: a guided setup records a few trigger clicks and trains a personal detection model on your exact firearm — sharper detection, tuned to you, all on-device. BUILD THE HABIT • Training calendar: a dot on HQ for every day you've trained — deeper red, more drills. Swipe through weeks or open the month view. • Training reminders: pick your days and get a nudge that keeps the streak alive. Why Dry Fire Pro? • A par timer that listens: unlike blind beep timers, it knows when you shot — and shows you the numbers. • Speed and accuracy: reaction times and splits from Drills, measured muzzle movement from Aim — both halves of shooting, in one app. • Built for drills: start from polished presets, tailor everything in the Drill Tweaker, or design your own in the Drill Builder. • Clear feedback: minimal UI, monospaced timing, and a dark design with red accents that's easy on the eyes. • Community driven: feature tweaks ship fast based on shooter feedback, so the app keeps improving with every release. Key Features: • ML Shot Detection: low-latency, on-device detection of dry-fire clicks (no cloud). • My Firearm: a personal detection model trained on your own trigger sound. • Aim Mode: camera-measured muzzle movement, named trigger faults, and estimated downrange impact. • Training HQ: streaks, training calendar, weekly volume, reaction-time trends, and your full session history. • Training Reminders: local notifications on the days you choose — nothing leaves your phone. • Drill Builder: create fully custom drills with your own timing, actions, and flow. • Drill Tweaker: random standby (min/max), loop mode, voice commands, beep variants, flashlight signals. • Drill Presets & Catalog: a growing set of presets by difficulty — star your favorites. • Timing & Splits: reaction times, splits, and averages for steady progress. • Privacy-First: no accounts, no trackers; audio and camera never leave your device. WHO IT'S FOR • Concealed carry holders keeping their draw sharp between range visits • USPSA / IDPA competitors working on reaction time and splits • Anyone building trigger control at home — safely, with an unloaded firearm FREE VS PREMIUM • Free, forever: the ML shot timer, starter drills, Aim's movement measurement, HQ stats, streaks, calendar and reminders. • Premium: the full drill library (Speed & Chaos tiers), Aim coaching — the fix for your named fault, the drill that trains it, and the estimated downrange impact — plus unlimited custom drills. • Pay monthly, yearly, or once — lifetime access with a single purchase. Safety first: Dry Fire Pro is intended solely for dry-fire practice. Always verify your firearm is unloaded and follow all firearm safety rules. Terms of use: https://dryfirepro.com/terms-of-use/
