Your draw time doesn't lie, and now you have a coach who says so out loud. Beep Bully is a precision shot timer and training tracker for pistol shooters, with an AI coach that roasts your numbers because it wants you to win. Using your iPhone's microphone, Beep Bully detects live gunshots and dry-fire clicks, timing your draw and every shot-to-shot split down to the hundredth of a second. Every string is stored on-device, so you build a real training history you actually own. Run structured drills from a built-in library, each with a briefing, clear standards, and a guided flow from beep to results to score. Random or fixed start delays and a loud range-ready beep keep every rep honest and repeatable. Beep Bully Score gives you a standardized rank that stays separate from daily training reps, so your number reflects real skill, not inflated practice sessions. Firearm and holster profiles scale your standards to your actual rig, accounting for optics versus irons and retention level. Silent video recording syncs to the beep so you can see the draw, not just the number. The AI film check reads your rep frame by frame, throws out false trips, and calls a lazy draw what it is. The conversational AI coach reviews your own recorded numbers and prescribes your next dry-fire session, with attitude. Track volume, streaks, round count, and weekly progress over time, and unlock achievements as your consistency improves. A firearm safety agreement and unloaded-firearm confirmation gate every dry-fire session, because measurement always comes with responsibility. Safety guidance stays straight. Everything else gets bullied. Beep Bully is a subscription: monthly, or yearly with a 7-day free trial. One plan opens the whole app. Prices are shown in the app before you buy, and the subscription renews automatically until cancelled in your iPhone settings.
