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 • 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 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 plan with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, or a monthly plan with no trial.

Race against a real benchmark, from you or a friend. Ghost turns a previous activity into a live reference, so you can see whether you are ahead or behind while you run. Choose a distance and pace goal or a ghost, start moving, and let the gap guide you. DURING EVERY ACTIVITY • Choose a distance and pace goal, or challenge a saved activity. • Check your gap and progress on iPhone. • Use Apple Watch to start, pause, and finish without reaching for your phone. • Hear spoken updates during the activity, including each kilometre split. • Check time, distance, pace, heart rate, and elevation when available. AFTER YOU FINISH • See the result at a comparable distance. • Review your activity history and saved references. • Discover records, trophies, and milestones earned from eligible activities. • Share your ghost through your usual apps so someone else can challenge it in Ghost. LOCAL PRIVACY Ghost does not require an account or a server. Your activities, settings, and library are stored on your device. The app uses GPS to measure the activity, motion data to help interpret the session, and HealthKit to read available fitness metrics; Apple Watch records the workout when you start from the watch. Audio is used for activity guidance. Ghost does not sell your data and has no ads. Sharing a ghost is optional: the file is sent through the app you choose and is handled according to that app’s policies. Ghost is a fitness tool. It does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment.
