Climb on Kilter, Tension, MoonBoard and more, plus your Spraywall. Keep your climbs, shared queue and logbook in one app. YOUR BOARDS. ONE APP. Boardsesh works with Kilter, Tension, MoonBoard, Woods, Decoy, Touchstone, Grasshopper and So iLL. Switch between supported boards and keep your climbing history together. Your Spraywall, too A home Spraywall, or a Spraywall at your gym? Photograph it and Boardsesh suggests holds from the photo. Fix what it missed, then set climbs, queue them and log sends in the same logbook as your other boards. No LEDs needed: the holds are highlighted on your photo. Share the Spraywall by link and your crew can set on it too. Stripped the Spraywall? Reset it with a new photo, and the old Spraywall is archived with its climbs and sends. Swap a single hold and any climb that used it is flagged. BOARD HISTORY Share a board and you lose track of the last climb fast, and someone always wipes it by accident. See climbs lit through Boardsesh on that board: the climb name, who lit it, who set it, grade and angle, and recent sends. SESSIONS WITH YOUR CREW Start a session and you and your crew can share one queue everyone can drive. Anyone can light the next climb on the wall. When you're done you get a recap and tracking: sends and attempts, grade spread, your hardest send, and progress over time. CONTROL FROM YOUR LOCK SCREEN (iOS 17+) iOS Live Activities tell you what climb is on from your lock screen, and allow you to change it without leaving your lock screen. BUILD A WORKOUT Pick Volume, Pyramid, Ladder or Grade Focus, set a target grade and warm-up, preview the climbs, then push them to the wall one at a time. TRACK YOUR CLIMBING Record sends, flashes and attempts, get a recap with duration, grade spread and your hardest send, and watch your sends and grades climb on the Progress tab. BRING YOUR HISTORY WITH YOU Save your session to Apple Health, and import your past Kilter and Tension logbook from Aurora Climbing. FIND MORE TO CLIMB Follow your crew and setters, search climbers, and pin playlists from Discover. Supported boards: Kilter, Tension, MoonBoard (2010, 2016, 2024, Masters 2017, Masters 2019), Woods (12x12, 8x10), Decoy, Touchstone, Grasshopper and So iLL. Plus Spraywalls: any Spraywall you can photograph. Boardsesh is a community effort that works with these boards and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any board manufacturer.

Your life is connected. Lyph helps you understand how. Sleep affects training. Training affects focus. Food affects energy. A difficult night can change the entire day. Nothing happens in isolation—but most apps only show you one piece. Lyph brings your health, habits and daily context together, then turns it into a clear understanding of how you’re doing, what may be shaping it and what to do next. CAPTURE LIFE AS IT HAPPENS Log a meal, workout, walk, mood, reflection or meaningful moment in seconds. Type naturally, speak it aloud or use quick actions when you want to move fast. No complicated forms. No endless setup. Just capture what happened and keep living. A DAILY READ WITH CONTEXT Lyph gives you a clear view of your day without reducing your life to a single score.

DISCOVER YOUR PATTERNS As you continue using Lyph, disconnected moments begin forming a larger picture. Lyph can help you recognize relationships between sleep, movement, nutrition, mood, energy, focus and the routines that shape your days. Not generic trends. Patterns grounded in the life you actually logged. AN AI COACH THAT KNOWS THE CONTEXT Ask Lyph Coach what you’ve been noticing, why something may have changed or what deserves your attention next. Coach draws from your recent activity, check-ins, reflections and emerging patterns to provide guidance that feels relevant to you—not advice written for everyone. SEE HOW YOUR LIFE CHANGES Weekly recaps show what’s working, where consistency is slipping and what Lyph is learning. Your history keeps the details of your days accessible, while longer-term context helps Lyph become increasingly useful over time.
