Read full description

BoulderMate is built for climbers who want to record and understand their sessions. It helps you reflect on how you climbed, spot patterns over time, and head into your next session with clear intent. Whether you’re projecting harder problems or building consistency, BoulderMate turns every session into something you can learn from. • Climb Logging Made Simple Log indoor bouldering problems quickly and clearly. Track attempts, sends, and beta usage using your gym’s color grading system, with optional V-scale tracking if you want more structure. Add short beta notes, mark favorite climbs, and attach photos or videos so important details aren’t lost between sessions. • Ask Mate — Photo-Based Climb Insights Use Ask Mate to turn a boulder photo into richer climb details in seconds. It helps you fill in key attributes automatically, so your log becomes more consistent and useful without extra effort. These extra details make it easier to track performance across more dimensions over time, and understand what styles and demands you’re improving at. • Intelligent Session Recaps After each session, BoulderMate generates a concise, encouraging Session Recap. Instead of raw stats, you get a short review that highlights strengths, identifies one focus area, and suggests how to improve next time. Mate Score balances effort, performance, progress, variety, and efficiency to help you reflect. • See Progress Across Sessions Session recaps make it easy to notice trends across recent climbs. You can see how consistency, problem choice, rest, and movement patterns evolve over time. This helps you reinforce what’s working and adjust your approach before habits form. • Photos, Videos, and Beta Memory BoulderMate doubles as a visual climbing journal. Capture climbs with the in-app camera or attach photos and videos from your library. Swipe between media, view climbs fullscreen, and revisit past projects whenever you need inspiration or beta reminders. • Sessions and Gym Profiles Group climbs into sessions and associate them with specific gyms. Create gym profiles with custom color grading systems that match each location. Over time, you build a clean, chronological history of your climbing across gyms and visits. • Clear Climb Details Each climb has a focused detail view showing difficulty, result, style, session context, and media at a glance. Everything stays editable, so you can update grades, notes, media, or timestamps as your perspective changes. Safe delete confirmations protect your data from accidental loss. • Designed for Climbers BoulderMate uses a clean, card-based interface optimized for quick use between climbs. Color-coded difficulty badges match gym systems. The app is designed to stay out of your way while you climb. • Privacy First All climbing data is stored locally on your device. Photos and videos remain private, with no cloud sync or account required. You stay in full control of your climbing history. • Who It’s For BoulderMate is ideal for indoor boulderers tracking gym progress, climbers working on projects, and anyone who wants to climb with more intention. If you care about learning from each session, this app is built for you. Track every hold. Learn from every attempt. Climb with confidence.
