Marks that count

Keep the details that make a mark count

Trackbuddy applies the rules that decide whether a mark counts for your PB. If a wind-aided or hand-timed mark beats your PB, you see it beside the PB with its flag.

Pick the venue, and Trackbuddy adds the weather there when you finish an outdoor session.

Wind. Log the wind for each rep or attempt. Trackbuddy uses only an official reading to decide whether a mark is legal.

Timing. Under 800 m, Trackbuddy keeps hand times apart from fully automatic times. Trackbuddy also converts hand times so you can compare them.

Implements and hurdles. Trackbuddy keeps a separate PB for each implement weight and each hurdle height.

FAQ

Questions

Which events does Trackbuddy cover?

Trackbuddy covers 123 events. You log each one in its own notation. For a run, you log the time and rest of each rep. For a jump or a throw, you log each attempt. In combined events, Trackbuddy keeps your running points total. You can also log drills and weight training.

Is it for coaches or athletes?

Both. As an athlete, you log your sessions and see your coach's plan if you have a coach. As a coach, you plan sessions and log results for your whole group. Your coach can edit your sessions only after you allow it.

Do I need a GPS watch?

No. A track rep has a set distance, so you only enter the time. You can take it from a stopwatch or from the meet results.

Does it work without signal?

Yes. You can start, log and finish a session with no signal. Trackbuddy syncs it when your phone is back online.

How do I get it now?

Apply for the Founding 100. Trackbuddy is in beta on iPhone through Apple's TestFlight, and seats open by event group. Founding testers who log 8 sessions in their first 4 weeks keep Lifetime Premium. How the beta works.

What does it cost?

Trackbuddy is free at launch. If paid features come later, you hear about them before you pay anything, and founding testers keep them free.
