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.

Limit is the app for climbers who train with a coach. Your coach builds the program. You open the app and do the work. Every session your coach assigns shows up on your home screen, in order, with exactly what to do: the climbs, the hangs, the sets, the targets. No spreadsheets, no screenshots of a Google Doc, no guessing what Tuesday means. LOG IT WHERE IT HAPPENS Log grades, attempts, and sends between burns, not from memory two hours later. Hangboard work captures grip position, load, and duration. Strength work captures sets and RPE, and notes capture anything else your coach should know about your session. SEE IT PAY OFF Your grade pyramid, flash rate, max hangs, and strength numbers, plotted over weeks and months. See your progress in real-time with real data. TALK TO YOUR COACH Message your coach directly in the app. Send photos and video clips of attempts. All communication in one easy to access place. THE PLAN, VISIBLE See the whole training cycle: what this week holds, what the next block looks like, and how today fits into it. WORKS AT THE CRAG No signal at the boulders? Limit stores everything on your phone and syncs when you are back on the grid. A dead zone never loses a session. NO NOISE No ads, no feed, no streaks to fake. Just your training, in order. Limit is for athletes whose coach runs their coaching on Limit. The app is free for athletes; your coach sends the invite. If you are a coach, find us at limit.coach.
