Time your drills with nothing but your iPhone, film your runs, and turn every session into data you can improve on. Built for IPSC, USPSA and IDPA practice, at the range or in dry fire. FREE SHOT TIMER, NO SHOT LIMIT Your device's microphone detects every shot in real time, no extra hardware needed. Fixed or random start delay, splits to the hundredth and unlimited shots, free. Tune detection for firearms, airsoft or paintball with the audio calibration wizard, and choose from five timer skins. NEW: PAR TIMER Set a par time and train hands-free. A start beep, then a lower beep when the window closes. Run a single rep, a set number of reps or a loop, then check your best and average times. VIDEO ANALYSIS WITH PRO OVERLAYS Import a video of your run and Blast Buddy finds the start signal and every shot from the audio. Fix any marker in the waveform editor, then export with the timer, splits and shot list burned into the video. 18 overlay styles, ready to share. MULTI-ANGLE EDITOR Film the same run from two cameras. Blast Buddy syncs them by sound and cuts them together: side by side, stacked, picture-in-picture or auto-cut highlights.

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/
