Why keep a journal

Match one is a story. Match twenty is a pattern.

The match

Facts you would forget by morning.

Score, opponent, format, race target, venue, sanctioning body. The things you would write on a scoresheet and lose in your car.

  • Race and result — captured with the score, the format, and whether it was league, tournament, or a set with a friend.
  • Opponent context — Fargo rate, APA skill level, your own rating, so a win over a 700 speed reads differently from a win over a 400.
  • Venue and sanctioning — the room, the league body, the equipment. Enough context to make sense of the match a year from now.

The mental game

How you felt, in one tap and a few sentences.

The part paper scoresheets never capture. Rate your mental game one-to-five, pick a tag for the tone, and jot three short notes if you want to.

  • One-to-five rating — one is off, five is dialed in. Takes about a second at the end of the match.
  • A tag for the tone — confident, tentative, calm, frustrated, resilient. Pick one, no essay required.
  • Three optional prompts — what went well, what got in the way, what to focus on next time. Skip them, or fill them all in.

What's in the app

Features

A match, logged in about a minute

Score, opponent, format, and a mental rating. The whole flow is designed for right after the match — while the details are still fresh and before you drive home.

Stats that come from your matches

Win rate, average turns, defense count, break-and-runs, and the mental tag breakdown. Not projections — the actual record of what has happened.

Filter by anything you can log

Wins, losses, 8-ball, 9-ball, 10-ball, rotation, mental state. Pull up the last five matches where you were rushed, or every K-Ball match you won.

Private by default

Match data lives on your iPhone. Optional account, optional sync — no ads, no third-party analytics, no leaderboard, no feed. Your journal is yours.

Multiple formats supported

K-Ball, American Rotation, APA, BCAPL, Fargo, casual sets. Whatever you actually play, log it — the app doesn't force you into one format.

Free, with a web companion coming later

The iPhone app is free. A companion web view for reviewing your history on a bigger screen is in development and will link from inside the app.

Where it's going

A competitive intelligence layer, built on your own record.

Logging matches is the foundation. On top of it, we're building a private layer that reads your journal — the mental tags, the opponent context, the reflections — and surfaces patterns that would take a season of matches to see by eye.

  • Personal patterns — the mental states that show up before your best matches, and the ones that show up before your worst. Yours, not a generic ranking.
  • Opponent context — how you tend to play against a given Fargo rating, format, or venue, so you can prepare for a rematch with more than a guess.
  • Private, opt-in, and separate — this layer runs on top of the journal you already keep. It never makes your data less private, and it never leaves the phone unless you turn it on.

Not shipped yet. The base app is what launches now — the intelligence layer follows once real matches are logged.
