BetterClimber uses advanced machine learning to track your body movements in real-time while you climb. See exactly how you move on the wall, identify inefficiencies, and improve your technique with data-driven insights. PRIVACY FOCUSED All pose analysis happens on your device. Your climbing videos and data never leave your phone. No account required. No cloud uploads. Your data stays yours. REAL-TIME POSE ANALYSIS Point your phone at the wall and BetterClimber tracks body landmarks as you climb. Watch the skeleton overlay in real-time to understand your body positioning, balance, and movement patterns. CLIMBING METRICS • Movement Efficiency Score - How smoothly are you climbing? • Static vs Dynamic ratio - Balance between controlled moves and dynamic movements • Center of gravity tracking - Understand your balance throughout the climb • Fall detection - Automatically detects when you come off the wall SESSION RECORDING & REPLAY Record your climbing sessions with full pose data. Replay videos with skeleton overlay synced frame-by-frame. Slow down to analyze specific moves, or scrub through to find problem areas. HEATMAPS Visualize where your hands and feet spend the most time. Identify patterns in your climbing style and see which holds you favor. GOALS & ACHIEVEMENTS Stay motivated with 47 achievements to unlock. Track your climbing streaks, total sessions, and progression over time. Set personal goals and watch your technique improve. IMPORT ANY CLIMBING VIDEO (free first 2 videos) Already have climbing videos? Import them and BetterClimber will analyze the footage, adding pose tracking and metrics to videos you've already recorded. WHY BetterClimber? Most climbers film themselves but rarely learn from the footage. BetterClimber transforms passive video into active feedback. See the invisible - your center of gravity, weight distribution, and movement efficiency scores that your eyes can't calculate. Whether you're working a project, warming up, or trying to break through a plateau, understanding HOW you climb is just as important as climbing more. BetterClimber gives you the data to climb smarter, not just harder.
