Flashd is the bouldering and climbing tracker built for real sessions. Log every route with your grade, attempts, and whether you topped, flashed, or failed, then review your stats when the session ends. TWO TRACKING MODES Pick the flow that fits your session. Timed mode runs a built-in timer for every route so you can see exactly how long each send takes. Quick mode lets you tap to log routes without a timer, perfect for fast sessions or when you just want the count. SESSION STATISTICS After every session, see your topped percentage, flash rate, total points, and highest grade. Track your improvement across sessions with French (4A to 9A) and Hueco (V0 to V17) grading systems. CUSTOM GRADING SYSTEMS Climbing at a gym with its own colour or grade names? Create a custom grading system for your gym or yourself. Each custom grade maps to a French or Hueco equivalent, so your points and stats stay consistent no matter where you climb. SCAN ROUTES WITH AI Snap a photo of the wall and Flashd detects the routes for you, with grades and hold colours. Tweak anything the AI got wrong, then save the routes for your whole gym to log in one tap. EARBUD TRACKING Use your earbud buttons to log routes phone-free. Control your entire bouldering session without touching your phone. (Timed mode) ACHIEVEMENTS Unlock achievements as you climb. Hit milestones for sessions, flashes, grades, and more. GYM LOCATIONS Find nearby climbing gyms and attach sessions to a location so your history stays organised. RANKINGS Compare your grades, points, and flash rates with friends and climbers at your gym. See where you stand on the leaderboard. CLIMB WITH FRIENDS Add friends, share sessions, and see how your climbing stacks up. Free to download. Get on the wall.
