Learning a handstand without structure feels random: you kick up when you remember, hold for however long, and months pass without knowing if you're closer. Upright replaces that with a path. THE PATH Eight levels from your first wall walk to a freestanding handstand. Each level is a short daily session β€” 10 to 20 minutes β€” with clear criteria for moving up. No guesswork about what to do today: open the app, the session is ready. THE LOOP β€” Every session starts with a wrist ritual. Wrists carry everything in this skill; they warm up first, every time. β€” A hands-free hold timer counts your seconds out loud β€” a beep every 5 seconds while you're upside down, tap anywhere to stop. β€” Your best hold lands on a chart. A tape line marks the goal. Watch the gap close. β€” Chalk tally marks track your streak. Miss a week and the app suggests stepping back a level, not starting over. THE LEVELS 0 Foundation β€” wrists and pike, three sessions 1 Wall Walk 2 Chest-to-Wall Hold β€” own the line 3 Wall Taps 4 Toe Pulls & Catches β€” first moments of free balance 5 Bail & Kick-up β€” learn to fall before you fly 6 First Float β€” five seconds without the wall 7 Consistency β€” three holds of ten seconds BUILT FOR TRAINING, NOT SCROLLING No account. No feed. No ads. Your data lives on your phone and nowhere else β€” we can't see it and don't want to. Deload weeks are built in. Everything is drawn in chalk on a dark floor, because that's where the work happens. FREE AND PRO Levels 0–1 and your last 7 days of history are free. Upright Pro unlocks the whole path and unlimited history: $29.99/year with a 7-day free trial, or $6.99/month. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and can be managed in Settings. Terms: https://klooder.github.io/upright-site/terms.html Privacy: https://klooder.github.io/upright-site/privacy.html Handstand training carries risk, especially for wrists and shoulders. Progress at your own pace and consult a physician if unsure.
