Read full description

Climb Companion is the training companion for climbers who take it seriously: Film one attempt, put it next to another, and see what actually changed. Then pin the decisive frame to the exact hold on your route photo. Track your climbing projects, sessions and training. Everything stays on your phone. track your projects — a route or boulder you're working across multiple sessions — your training and your sessions, all in one app, with no account and no ads. VIDEO AND BETA Film an attempt and watch it back in slow motion, frame by frame. Put two goes side by side — two of yours, or yours and a partner's — on a single timeline: align them on the start, slow down to quarter speed, and loop the three seconds that matter. Comparing is free and unlimited. When you find the frame that explains everything, pin it to the exact hold on your route photo: it stays there even when the video is gone, and over time it becomes your illustrated beta, move by move. Export the comparison ready for Stories, with route name and grade. Videos stay on your phone only: nothing is uploaded, and the audio track is removed on import. PROJECTS Follow every route or boulder you're working on: attempts, notes, photos and recent results in one place. See your max grade, how many attempts you've made, and your best point at a glance. TRAINING Create your own custom cards — mobility, warm-up, hangboard, finger strength — with no fixed template. Log sets, reps and loads exactly the way you want, during or after your session. SESSIONS A full history of every session you log: what you trained, how long it lasted, how many exercises. Analytics (a Plus feature) show your category mix, weekly trend with moving average, and grade pyramid. CHALLENGES Set custom weekly goals — for example, three technique sessions — and track your progress with automatic reminders, no external app required. PRIVACY FIRST Climb Companion has no server of its own: all your data stays exclusively on your device. No account to create, no ads, no data shared with third parties. The only way your data ever leaves your phone is a manual export you choose to make. CLIMB COMPANION PLUS For climbers who want to dig deeper into their progress, the Plus subscription unlocks: • Saved beta sequences and stored comparisons • Grade pyramid and route/boulder analysis • Advanced session analytics (category, grade, volume, frequency) • Unlimited projects and training cards Climb Companion Plus is an auto-renewable subscription.
