Climo vs Get a Grip

Just climb. We’ll track the rest. Climo is the ultimate rock climbing and bouldering ecosystem for iPhone and Apple Watch, designed to turn your data into serious progression. Forget clunky apps that interrupt your flow—Climo makes logging ascents frictionless so you can save your energy for the wall. Whether you are bouldering at the local gym, studying a topo for sport routes at the crag, or building finger strength at home, Climo brings your entire climbing journey into one powerful logbook. APPLE WATCH AUTO-DETECTION Leave your phone in the locker. The fully standalone Apple Watch app uses smart altimeter algorithms to physically feel when you climb. • Zero Friction: When you land, your watch taps your wrist. Use the custom 3D crown wheel to dial in your grade and log a send in 2 seconds. • Live Telemetry: Monitor your heart rate, elevation gained, and active energy directly on your wrist mid-workout. • Seamless Sync: Climb completely offline. Data queues on your watch and syncs to your iPhone the second you reconnect. THE ULTIMATE LOGBOOK Track every boulder and sport route with precision, whether indoors or outdoors. • Projects vs. Sends: Manage your outdoor projects, track attempts, and log crucial beta tags for your next ascent. • Global Grades Supported: Full support for V-Scale, Fontainebleau (Font), French, and YDS grading systems. • Strava Integration: Auto-upload your climbing workout directly to Strava. ROOT-CAUSE FAILURE DIAGNOSTICS Most apps only track your successes. Climo tracks why you fell to help you crush plateaus. • Failure Engine: Did you pump out? Slip a foot? Mess up the beta? Log failure reasons to identify your exact training blind spots. • Wall-Angle Radar: Visualize your strength across slabs, vertical walls, overhangs, and roofs. AI CLIMBING COACH & HANGBOARD TIMER Turn your session data into structured progression with the "Ascension Architect" AI. • Adaptive Training: Generate personalized, multi-week workout blocks based on your past performance and failure metrics. • Advanced Hangboard Timer: Built-in timer protocols for max hangs and repeaters. • Protect Your Pulleys: Log specific grip types (crimp, pinch, sloper) and track finger load over time to build strength safely. GAMIFY YOUR GROWTH • Climo Points: Earn points dynamically based on grade difficulty and technique, not just pure volume. Watch your score rise live on your watch during a session! • Progression Charts: Watch your max grade increase over time in beautiful, interactive charts. Join the community of climbers using Climo to train smarter and send harder.

Get a Grip runs your daily finger training. Build your routine once and it greets you every time you open the app, one tap from pulling. The app connects to your Bluetooth force gauge, tares it, counts you in, and times every hold from what your fingers actually do. Chalk up or shake out mid-set and the clock stops with you: it only runs while you hold your target load. Works with the Tindeq Progressor and the Frez Dyno, with experimental support for several other BLE gauges and crane scales. Left the gauge at home? Every routine also runs as a plain timer. There is no exercise library to curate. A grip is just an edge depth, which fingers, and a position, written straight on the set. Prescribe 25% of max once and every grip resolves to its own target load, per hand, from the maxes you have measured. Choose pounds or kilograms in Settings. The rest countdown starts when you actually let go of the edge, and if the next set is on a different grip, the rest screen says so before you get there. Benchmarks keeps each grip's max and critical force together. The critical force test is 24 all-out pulls in four minutes and finds the load each hand can sustain. A Live Activity keeps the countdown and the target on your Lock Screen for the whole session. Every rep is recorded. A day of climbing at the gym counts as training too, because it is. No account, no analytics, no ads. Your data stays on your iPhone and in your own iCloud, nowhere else. The whole app works in English and French. Get a Grip is an independent app, not made by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Tindeq or any other gauge maker.
