About

Drilld

Features

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. LEGAL Terms of Use (EULA): https://app.drilld.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://app.drilld.app/privacy.html Drilld Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase confirmation and renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings. Both documents are also in the app at Profile → Legal.
