Know you’re on target
Train to a percentage of your max — not a vague RPE. Live bands tell you when you’re under, on, or over.
Official GripMeter companion
See exactly how hard you pull.
Stop guessing on the hangboard. Climbasics shows live force so you can hit real targets, run research-backed finger protocols, and keep plans, workouts, and check-ins in one place.
iOS Android GripMeter, Tindeq & more Invite-only
Why it matters
Your fingers deserve better than “felt hard today”
Guessing effort makes it hard to know if you’re progressing, overloaded, or just tired. Climbasics turns each pull into a target you can hit — and a record you can trust.
Train the right amount
Daily check-ins feed readiness and automatic load adjustments, so hard days and easy days stay intentional.
See yourself get stronger
Every session lands in your history — so left/right gaps, peaks, and endurance actually show up over weeks.
Protocol suite
Six protocols grounded in how fingers get stronger
Built on curated climbing and sports-science research — from a progressive warm-up to critical force — so you train the quality you care about, with live targets you can follow mid-pull.
01
Finger warm-up
Prime tendons with a progressive ladder before hard pulls — so the real work starts safer and sharper.
02
Max strength
Find your peak and compare hands — so you know what “100%” actually is before you prescribe percentages.
03
Rate of force development
Train how fast you produce force — useful when the hold isn’t about grinding, it’s about catching it.
04
Endurance holds
Hold a target and see time in zone — so you know when capacity drops, not just when the set “felt long.”
05
Repeaters
Work and rest with force targets — so density training stays honest instead of drifting soft.
06
Critical force
Map the force you can sustain — the capacity signal that helps separate strength from endurance work.
Your gauge
Official for GripMeter. Open to more gauges.
Climbasics is the official GripMeter companion — so your gauge isn’t just a number on a screen, it’s part of how you train. Tindeq Progressor is fully supported today, with more devices on the way.
- Full support now: GripMeter and Tindeq Progressor
- Reliable sessions — setup and reconnect handled for you
- Quick Grip Assessment when you only need peaks
- More gauges coming — you’re not locked to one brand forever
During the pull
Stay in the zone without guessing
Live force and the timer stay in view together — so you can hold a target, catch work/rest cues, and finish the set knowing you actually hit what you meant to.
- Live chart and target bands while you pull
- Clear left/right flows when you want asymmetry data
- Guided start so the first pull is accurate, not rushed
- Protocols rooted in curated research — not vibes
How it works
From today’s session to a week you can trust
Four steps — measurement that feeds the rest of your training, not a one-off test.
01
Connect your gauge
GripMeter or Tindeq — get a clean zero and you’re ready to pull.
02
Pick what to train
A protocol, a workout from the library, or today’s plan block — whatever the week needs.
03
Hit the target
Follow live force and timers so effort matches the prescription, not a guess.
04
Check in & adjust
Log readiness, track the plan, and let load adjust when your check-in says ease up or push.
The full suite
Grip training plus the rest of your week — in one app
Force protocols sit beside a workout & skill library, plan tracking, daily check-ins, and load that adjusts with how you feel — so measured finger work isn’t stranded from everything else.
Plans & tracking
Follow a structured week and see what’s done — so hard finger days and rest days don’t disappear into chat notes.
Workout & skill library
Climbing-specific workouts and skills ready to run — plus an interval timer for days you train without a gauge.
Daily check-in & load
Check in each day; Climbasics uses that signal to help adjust training load so you don’t push through a red day by habit.
Work with a coach

At a glance
What you get that most apps leave out
Gauge apps often stop at the pull. Training apps often ignore the gauge. Climbasics is the suite that connects both — plus plans, library, and check-ins.
| What you need | Climbasics | Typical gauge app | Typical training app |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live force targets | GripMeter & Tindeq | Yes | Usually no |
| Research-backed protocols | Warm-up → critical force | Often yes | Timers only |
| Plans & workout / skill library | Yes | No | Yes |
| Daily check-in & load adjustments | Yes | No | Sometimes |
| Cloud history & CSV | Yes | Limited | Not force data |
| Coach tools | Yes | Rare | Sometimes |
| Saved protocol presets | Coming soon | Weak / missing | N/A |
Based on how the category typically packages features — not a knock on every third-party app.

What’s next for your training
We’re shipping carefully. Here’s what’s on the way — labeled clearly so nothing feels oversold.
Saved sessions you can reuse
Keep the exact setup that works — warm-up on 20 mm at 60%, L/R repeaters at 80% — and run it again without rebuilding.
Open signup & a fair free tier
Leave invite-only behind. Keep live measurement, peak force, and recent history free so your gauge always has a working app.
Insights that explain the numbers
Asymmetry trends, fatigue signals, strength vs bodyweight — turning history into clearer next-step guidance.

FAQ
Questions climbers ask first
What is Climbasics?
A climbing training suite: live force protocols on GripMeter and Tindeq, plus a workout & skill library, plan tracking, daily check-ins with load adjustments, cloud history — and a way to train with a coach.
Which devices work?
Full support today for GripMeter (including older units that still advertise as ClimbingNova) and Tindeq Progressor. Climbasics is the official GripMeter companion, and more gauges will land as we ship them.
Do I need a force gauge?
No. Plans, the workout & skill library, the interval timer, check-ins, and load tracking work without one. A gauge unlocks live force targets and the protocol suite — that’s where Climbasics shines for finger work.
Is it free?
The app is live on the stores but invite-only today. When paid plans arrive, the intent is a free tier with live measurement, peak force, and recent history — so buying a GripMeter never leaves you stranded — plus a paid tier for the full suite, unlimited history, export, and insights.
How do I get in?
If you already have an invite, download from the App Store or Google Play. Otherwise join the waitlist below and we’ll email you when a spot opens.
What about privacy?
Analytics only run if you agree. The app asks once, clearly, and you can change your mind. Crash and usage pipelines deliberately avoid health data and personal details.
Ready to train with targets you can hit?
Climbasics is invite-only while we polish the experience. Join the list — or download now if you already have access.
