PickLog is the dedicated practice tracker built for locksport enthusiasts who want to level up their lock picking skills. Whether you are working through your first yellow belt lock or pushing toward black belt territory, PickLog helps you track every session, every lock, and every milestone on your journey. Start a timed session and log your picking method, tension technique, and detailed notes about binding order and feedback. Track whether you used SPL or raking, TOK or BOK tension, and record what worked and what did not. Over time, your dashboard reveals patterns in your practice: average pick times, success rates, and which locks give you the most trouble. Use this data to focus your training where it matters most. Build a complete catalog of your lock collection. Tag each lock with its belt level, pin count, and security pin types. Note which locks you have gutted and reassembled. When you add a new lock to your collection, PickLog automatically associates your practice sessions so you can see your full pick history for every lock you own. Follow the community belt ranking system from White Belt all the way to Black Belt. PickLog shows your current rank, highlights completed milestones, and displays the requirements for your next belt. Set your current belt level and watch your progression path light up as you advance through the ranks. All your data stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no tracking. Just you, your picks, and your progress. Download PickLog today and start logging your locksport journey.
