Keep getting a little better.

Climb Kaizen is where climbers keep their whole practice: sessions, training, plans, and the long view, in one place. On the web, iPhone and Android.

Crags, routes, gyms and board climbs

A growing list, to make logging as frictionless as possible. Start typing and the route is usually there. If it isn't, add your own, and it's there next time.

Kaizen is the practice of getting a little better, continuously. We think that is how climbing works too: ordinary sessions, strung together. You log them, and the app shows you what they add up to.

Built for climbers who practice on purpose. Training is the quiet work that buys more climbing: longer seasons, harder days, a body that lasts. Climb Kaizen helps you see where your gaps are and break an ambitious goal into achievable chunks. You can also look back at what led up to your successes or any injuries.

Climb

Log a session in a few taps.

Tap a grade each time you finish a problem. Give a climb a name when you want to keep track of it, with your tries and a note. For a route, log how it went, from an onsight to falls and hangs. When you go back to a gym or crag, you'll see what you did there last time.

Train

Train from your own workouts.

Save your workouts as templates and follow them set by set. One tap copies your numbers from last time, and a built-in timer runs your hangs and rests. You can change anything mid-workout, and your log keeps what you actually did.

Plan

Plan your season on a calendar.

Lay out your weeks, then add training phases and trips. A planned day is checked off when you log it, and your pyramids fill in from the sends you log.

Reflect

See your progress over time.

Look back over three months, six months or a year. See trends in your volume and grades, every climb counted by grade, and how consistent you've been over the last sixteen weeks. More analytics and more ways to visualize your data are on the way.

TrendsSend ledgerConsistencyBodyForceBoards
Also in the app

Boards, hangs, pulls and test days.

The board card in a session, with a search under way: the board's name, the angle set to forty degrees, the word boat typed, and four climbs found, each with its grade, its rating and its number of sends

Training boards

Choose the board at your gym, set the angle and search for a problem by name. You can log tries and sends on Kilter, Tension, MoonBoard and four other boards. A board send counts the same as any other boulder.

The force tool during a pull: a large live reading, the curve of the pull as it happens, the peak and hold time, the last pulls, and buttons for a peak force, endurance or critical force test

Force sensor

Connect a Tindeq Progressor and see your force while you pull. Run a peak force, endurance or critical force test, and track each hand over time.

In the phone apps, and in Chrome or Edge on a computer.

The hang timer mid-rep: four seconds left of a seven-second hang, set one of three, three of six reps done

Hang timer

Run repeaters, rests, on-the-minute sets or a stopwatch. If you start the timer from an exercise, it offers to log the sets you finished.

A finger test day beside the one before it: max hang, hang for time, campus reach, peak force for each hand and critical force, each with the change since last time

Test days

Sensible defaults get you started: two ready-made test days and 35 measures to pick from. You can add your own too. Run a test day every month or every quarter, and each result is shown next to your last one.

Climb Kaizen is not affiliated with or endorsed by Kilter, Tension, Moon, Aurora, Tindeq or any other company named here.

iPhone, iPad & Android

Use it on your phone, at the wall.

Log climbs with one hand, run your timers, and tick off sets as you train. During a session, the clock and your rest timer stay on your lock screen. Your phone and the website share one log, so you can log at the gym and plan at home.

Details

A few smaller things.

Crag moods

Pick one of six colour themes and the whole app changes colour. This site does too. Tap one to try it.

Grades and units

Use any of eleven grade systems, including YDS, the V-scale, French, Font, UIAA and Ewbank. Use pounds or kilos, feet or centimetres. If you switch, your whole history switches with you. Try converting a grade:

route7a+ French = 5.12a YDS
boulder7A+ Font = V7
Conversions between grade systems are approximate.

Your last visit

When you go back to a gym or crag, the app shows what you did there last time beside what you've done today.

Injury notes

When you finish a session, you can note anything that hurt, like a tweaky finger or a sore elbow. The note stays with that day and shows up in Reflect's logbook.

Export your data

Download your sessions, workouts and body readings as CSV files, or everything as one JSON file. Export works whether or not you're paying.

Celebrate wins

When you finish a workout with a heavier set or a longer hang than you've ever logged, the summary points it out.

Sleep over thirty days as a bar for each night, with the average, the shortest and the longest night
real screens, demo data
Body & cycle

Track sleep, recovery and your cycle, if you want to.

There's a short daily check-in for sleep, steps, soreness, stress and motivation, and a variety of other health metrics, weight among them. Your phone can fill in some of them from Apple Health or Health Connect. There's a cycle tracker too.

  • Off until you turn it on. Every reading and the cycle tracker start switched off, and they stay off until you turn them on.
  • Your plan doesn't change. Your training days show on the same dial as your cycle. The app never changes your plan based on your cycle.
  • Next period. Your next period is shown as a range of dates. If there isn't enough history to estimate it, nothing is shown.
  • Private. We don't sell your data, and no outside advertiser or data broker gets it. Body and cycle readings are kept out of our product analytics. Cycle days are left out of your exports unless you choose to include them. You can delete your body readings or your cycle data on their own, at any time.

Track only what's useful to you.

Who makes this

A climber who kept losing the story of their climbing to notebooks, spreadsheets and apps built for other sports. I use the app daily and love hearing feedback from other climbers.
