About

Pool Drill Tracker

You watch the tutorials. You read the Reddit posts. You show up to the table with good intentions. But when you're done playing, you have no idea if you actually got better. Pool Drill Tracker fixes that. Pick a drill, run it, tap your makes and misses, and the app keeps score. Do it again next week and you can see the difference. That's it. No video analysis, no AI, no subscription. Just a dead-simple way to turn random practice into something you can measure. WHAT'S INSIDE - 12 built-in drills across Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced — straight-in pocketing, draw shots, cut angles, banks, position play, and more. - Add your own drills if you practice something specific. - Build multi-drill sessions or start a single drill from the library. - Tap to log each shot — the app counts makes, misses, and tells you if you passed. - Stats that actually matter: sessions per week, accuracy by drill, and your current day streak. WHO THIS IS FOR You play at a bar, a pool hall, or on your home table. You're past the "just hitting balls around" phase and you want structure, but you don't need a $200 coaching app with features you'll never touch. You want to know: am I getting better? This app is your practice notebook — except it does the math for you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the app, pick your drills, and hit Begin. 2. Tap Potted or Missed after each shot. 3. When the drill finishes, the app shows your score and whether you passed. 4. Check Stats to see your accuracy trends and practice streak over time. All data stays on your phone. No account, no cloud, no tracking. Just you and your table. BUILT BY A PLAYER Pool Drill Tracker was built by a pool player who wanted a simple practice tracker and couldn't find one that wasn't bloated, expensive, or abandoned. This is the app I wanted to exist. Free to download. Free to use.
