Practice

Small, medium, or big.

Most days are not the meet run. Log the day you actually took to the pit.

  • Small Drill-only. 1–3 lefts. Pole runs, plant drills, sliding box, towel plants, straight pole, rollovers, pop-ups, swing, rope, gymnastics.
  • Medium Short approach — often one left shorter than the meet run, so the jumps stay quality.
  • Big Longer run, still usually not the full competition approach. Warm it like the weight room: easier grip, softer pole, shorter step, then work up.
  • The budget Fulls are rationed. Mid mark. On, under, or out. One cue, not sixteen. A bungee make is not a PR.

Meet day

Most of it is waiting. Then one minute.

Opening height is a choice. The card is O / X / —. Pass is one-way. NH is NH.

  • Opening height A decision. Pass before they call you — pass is one-way. After three passes you may get a no-bar warmup at a height change.
  • Three misses Three attempts a height. Three consecutive misses, rolling across any heights, and you are out. NH is NH.
  • Five-alive Until the field thins, then one flight. On hold. Then the one-minute clock.
  • Between attempts Standards and pole can change. Don't burn legs on a bar you should have skipped.

One honest exception: the weather

Start a session and the app takes one location fix to recognize the runway and pull wind and temperature from Apple Weather. That coordinate goes to Apple and nowhere else — decline it and the app never touches the network.

Poles. Practice. Meets. Film. The numbers.

Five places the week actually lives.

Poles

The quiver — length, weight, flex, grip, and the highest real bar on each pole.

Sessions

Small, medium, or big — Quick Log between jumps, one cue, drills, fulls as a budget.

Meet Mode

Opening height, pass, the one-minute clock, and the O·XO·XXO card.

Film Room

Plant, takeoff, swing, invert — frame by frame, next to the PR jump.

Progress

Real-bar PRs only. Make rate. The career pole ladder. On-device insights.

The Vaulter's Numbers

It speaks vaulter.

Standards, takeoff, marks, lefts. The jump as it's actually called — every setup a coach would ask about.

Standards, 5 cm

Eight inline chips — the universal 5 cm calls, even at US high-school meets. No sheets, no inch presets.

On, under, or out

Takeoff as it's shouted from the standards — with the offset in inches.

Start and mid

Start mark, mid mark, and whether you hit the mid.

Lefts and steps

Both conventions, on the same jump. Automatically.

Bar or bungee

What was actually up. A bungee make is practice. Only a real bar is a PR.

Why the miss?

Twelve miss tags — late plant, under, out, stalled, rejected, no inversion. One tap, then the season pattern.

New jumps prefill from your last one. Same as last, change one thing — because that's how practice works.

Quick Log

Between jumps. One tap.

The pit doesn't wait for a form.

  • Make. Miss. Done.

    Bar height with −3″/+3″ chips, a bar/bungee flip, MAKE and MISS, and a slim run-through — logged before the next call.

  • Setup carries forward

    Pole, grip, standards, start and mid. Change one thing. Log the jump.

  • Undo, always

    A persistent undo line and a jump counter keep the book honest, even between turns.

  • One screen, not sixteen cues

    Date, pole, grip, approach, today's cue. Everything else waits in More Details, prefilled from last time.

What kind of day was it?

The runway you're on, the one cue, the drills, and how many fulls you've spent this week.

The runway remembers

One quiet location fix when you start recognizes the track and recalls last time's start, mid, steps, pole, grip, and standards — one tap applies it.

One cue, pinned

Coaches pick two or three. Pin one cue to the Lock Screen — MAKE / MISS, no unlock.

Hard hands at the plant

Drill days count

Tap the real blocks — pole runs, plants, sliding box, towel plants, straight pole, rollovers, pop-ups, swing, rope, gymnastics — plus a volume note like "3×20 m." A small day still belongs in the week.

Full approach is a budget

This week's full-run jumps against your cap, days since the last full-run day, and an eight-week stack of full approach against short. The pit session dies if you just jump more.

The meet card: the ladder you actually jumped.

On your Lock Screen

A Live Activity puts the current bar, attempt dots, and MAKE / MISS on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Log it on hold, without unlocking.

Opening height, pass, three misses

Set the open and the raise. The bar moves. Pass before you're called. Three consecutive misses and you're out — including no-height. Between attempts: pole, grip, standards.

The ladder is already written

Every attempt saves when you log it. Dead battery, killed app — the card is already on the phone.

Film Room

Plant. Takeoff. Swing. Invert.

Every clip on the jump, with the bar and the result. Then step through the plant.

Progress

A PR is a bar you cleared.

Bungee doesn't count. A miss at 15 is not a 15. PRs are cleared, not set.

Progress dashboard in dark mode with stat tiles and progression charts
  • Computed, not claimed

    The PR timeline is real-bar makes only. A missed 15′ is not a 15′ PR. You cleared it, or you didn't.

  • Make rate, by bar

    Make % and total jumps, plus a make-rate-by-bar chart — where attempts actually go to die.

  • The career pole ladder

    Every pole you've moved through, in order — the season told in fiberglass and carbon.

  • Insights, on this phone

    Facts from your season, phrased on-device by Apple Intelligence. The prompt never leaves the phone.

Pole inventory list showing brand, length, weight rating, flex, and highest bar cleared per pole

Poles

Length, flex, grip, highest bar.

The quiver is equipment, history, and the weight rule — all three live here.

  • The full spec

    Brand, model, length, weight rating, flex, serial, condition, color. Search it. Active or retired. Identical ESSX poles finally tell apart.

  • Highest bar, per pole

    What you've actually cleared on it, from the sessions — not a note you typed once.

  • The weight rule, watched

    Set body weight once. Any pole rated under it is flagged in the picker and in Meet Mode — the NFHS rule, checked for you.
