Read full description

Make every training session worth remembering. RollFlow is your personal Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training journal. Capture what you practised, keep useful details close and build a library you can return to before your next session. LOG YOUR TRAINING Save when you trained, how long you spent on the mat, your partners and how it felt. Use “Just finished” for a quick entry after class, repeat a previous session as a starting point, or add a short reflection about what worked and what to practise next. BUILD YOUR TECHNIQUE LIBRARY Organise techniques with tags and favourites. Add YouTube references, import video screenshots and annotate saved steps so the important details are easier to revisit. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Follow your training rhythm, time on the mat and learning activity. Your own effort ratings add context without turning every session into a fitness score. OPTIONAL HEART RATE Read the pulse recorded by your wearable in Apple Health. See the session curve, average, maximum, source and recording gaps. Refresh after your wearable has synced. RollFlow does not record live from a sensor or write workouts, calories or pulse measurements to Apple Health. This feature is included for everyone. FOCUS YOUR PRACTICE Choose a training focus, keep a reflection journal and explore training games with clear constraints. A schedule and optional reminders help you make time for the mat. GO DEEPER WITH PREMIUM Premium unlocks unlimited techniques, spaced-repetition reviews and visual game plans. Subscription options and current prices are shown in the app. Existing journal data and backups remain accessible without an active membership. KEEP YOUR JOURNAL Your journal is stored locally. Export a complete backup with your techniques, images, learning history, focus journal and plans. Raw pulse measurements remain in Apple Health unless you explicitly export them. YouTube and Apple services have their own privacy policies. Requires iOS 26 or later. Apple Health access is optional. A compatible wearable and its own recording/sync workflow are needed for heart rate measurements. Pulse summaries describe recorded training; they are not medical, fitness or recovery assessments. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.

BJJ Journey is an AI training journal for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Step on the mat with a plan, talk for 60 seconds after class, and the app turns it into a Reflection, counts your numbers, spots the patterns in your game and tells you what to work on next. STEP ON THE MAT WITH A PLAN • Challenge of the Day: one concrete goal for today's rolls, with something to count. Example: "Every time you get passed, reach a hip escape within 3 seconds. Five times." • What to work on: this week's focus and two drills, built for your belt and your game • A Home Screen widget with today's challenge and a one-tap Debrief, then your streak once you've logged JUST TALK. AI TAKES THE NOTES. • Tap the mic after class and answer three prompts: what you drilled and rolled, what worked and where you got stuck (and how many taps, given and taken), and whether you tried today's challenge • Lock your phone or lose signal: your Debrief is saved and analyzed anyway, with a notification when the Reflection is ready FILM A ROLL • Record a roll or pick one from your library (up to 10 minutes) and tell the AI which athlete is you • The AI marks the key moments on a timeline (positions, sweeps, passes, submissions, mistakes) and shows how much of the roll you spent on top, on bottom and standing • Up to 8 video analyses a month AN AI REFLECTION AFTER EVERY SESSION • Before you subscribe, tell us about your last class and see your first Reflection • Summary, AI score, what went well, what needs work (with the cause and a concrete fix), what to study and a focus for next class, calibrated to your belt • The AI reads from your Debrief whether you did the challenge, and the next one adapts on its own YOUR NUMBERS • Say it in the Debrief ("four rolls, two triangles, got armbarred once") and the session keeps count: rolls, submissions, taps, sweeps and passes • Your profile adds it up month by month, with your favorite submission and what catches you most • Only what you said counts, and any number can be corrected in one tap A COACH THAT REMEMBERS YOU • Pattern spotted: "Side Control came up as a struggle in 6 of your last 8 sessions." • A weekly report every Monday with your stats, a coach note and one focus for the week • A monthly recap in story format: sessions, mat hours, most drilled position and your archetype YOUR BELT JOURNEY • Tell the app when you got your belt and your last stripe: it shows your time at each rank, and the sessions and mat hours since • Mention a new stripe in your Debrief and the app asks if it's official, then celebrates it with a card to share • A timeline of your milestones: first session, 10, 25, 50 and 100 sessions, streak records, belts and stripes • You and the other belts: your rhythm and what gets you stuck, next to what is typical for your belt. Only you see it SHARE YOUR PROGRESS • Story-ready cards for Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp, for sessions and promotions • Roast my session: three brutally honest lines about your jiu-jitsu plus one real tip • Every number on a card is counted from your sessions, never made up BUILT AROUND YOUR TRAINING WEEK • Set your training days and when class ends: your challenge comes before class and the Debrief reminder right after • A calendar of every training day and your streak of weeks on the mats BJJ JOURNEY PRO SUBSCRIPTION • BJJ Journey Pro is required to use the app • Yearly or monthly plan • Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; the renewal is charged within those last 24 hours • Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → your name → Subscriptions • Prices are shown in the app in your local currency Questions: raf@bjjjourney.com Privacy Policy: bjjjourney.com/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): bjjjourney.com/terms
