~ Track skate sessions and your trick progress ~ Shrednotes is a minimal and simple skateboard session tracker designed for people looking to learn new tricks and improve their existing tricks. Predefined trick lists and DIY • Shrednotes comes pre-filled with common tricks which can be renamed, deleted or added to as you please, it’s designed to work how you do without ads, privacy invasive activities or clutter. • You can sync with Health to read skateboard workout health data. • Shrednotes learns about your activity securely, on-device, and recommends new tricks to you based on what you know already. Skate journal • Apart from tracking individual tricks your learning and seeing what’s next, you can also keep a record of specific (or all) skate sessions. • If you enable notifications, you’ll get a reminder 30 minutes after your workout to add a session if you’ve not opened the app since then. • Create a journal entry directly from the Photos app share sheet. • You can mark the session location on a map card too, to easily record where your session took place. Home Screen Widgets and Customisation • Customise basic settings such as whether you want to see smart recommendations, the journal, or specific trick groups. • Also launch Shrednotes from your home or lock screen with a useful widget that tracks the next recommended trick to learn, or instantly start creating a new Journal entry from the lockscreen. • Finally, use the Apple Watch companion app to quickly and easily record notes for a new Session without needing to open your phone, come back and edit it any time.

SkateLog is your skateboarding session journal. Track every skate session, log the combos you land, and watch your progress build over time. LOG YOUR SESSIONS Start a session at your spot, then record what you skate — combo by combo, trick by trick. Mark your makes and your tries so you know exactly how a session went. Add notes, set the duration, and finish when you're done. BUILD COMBOS Chain skateboard tricks into combos with stance, spin direction, and degrees of rotation. Search the trick library and stack steps into the lines you're actually working on. Count makes vs tries on every combo to see what's dialed and what still needs work. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Your dashboard pulls it all together: total stats, a 12-week makes chart, your recent sessions, and a breakdown of your trick library. No guessing whether you're improving — the numbers show it. ROLL WITH YOUR CREW Add friends by handle or scan their QR code, and skate together. When someone in your crew starts a session, you get a notification — with the spot, so you can roll up and join. See who's online and who's skating right now, and tag the crew you skated with in every session. FIND SPOTS Browse skate spots on the map or drop your own. Filter your sessions by spot to see where you put in the work. BUILT FOR SKATERS A clean, fast skateboarding tracker made for the session — not for scrolling. Free account, syncs with your data at skatelog.io. Whether you skate street, park, or flat ground, SkateLog keeps the record. Get out there and skate — and bring the crew.
