Hangboard · Climbing & bouldering training · Workout
Train smarter.
Climb stronger.
Project Beta – find your way to your next goal. It’s your training app with a competitive approach to successful climbing & bouldering, plus personalised training plans that grow with you. Share your strength, workout and burnout plans with friends and let the community celebrate you.
Everything your climbing training needs
From your first hang on the fingerboard to your project on the rock – one app instead of a timer, a notebook and a spreadsheet.
Hangboard training
Guided workouts with timer and cues, the right hold for every rep. Max hang tests per hold squeeze out your last reserves and tune the workouts to you. Push for new personal bests and master a new hangboard challenge every month.
Workout plans
Strength training with a clear goal and progression matched to your level. Plus dedicated antagonist training for climbers and boulderers to keep your muscles balanced.
Stretching & warm-up
Stretching and warm-up routines before and after training, based on the muscle groups you have already used or to prepare them. Animated exercises keep the flow efficient – and no session is complete without a finisher: empty the tank at the end of your climbing or bouldering session with dedicated burnout workouts.
Climbing & bouldering
Track your sessions with grades, sends, lead or top rope and see them analysed as statistics over the months. Who racks up the most elevation?
Apple Watch
Start your session on the watch and enjoy its many benefits: it makes your heart beat faster and builds a personalised training load curve.
Smartwatch & Health Connect
Rest countdown and next-set cue on the lock screen and on your connected watch (Wear OS, Garmin). Your workouts go to Health Connect if you like and build a personalised training load curve.
Train together
Add friends, share workouts and celebrate successes – challenge yourself with your friends and push each other on.
Workout
Workout plans that grow with you
Sets, reps and weights progress week by week. Animated exercises show you the movement, and a calibration set finds your starting weight.
- Training plans with science-based exercises
- Exercises using the equipment you have available
- Muscle map showing the load for each exercise and for the whole plan
Apple Watch
Every bouldering session analysed
Start the session on your Apple Watch and just climb. Elevation, heart rate, energy and your grades end up neatly in your history.
- Measure more health data with the watch
- Control your workouts from your wrist
- Feel on your wrist when, for example, your rest is over
Training load
Do you know when enough is enough?
Training load compares your week with the four weeks before. Morning readiness puts HRV, resting heart rate and sleep into context – so you go hard when your body is ready.
- Training load with overload and underload zones
- Readiness score as a guide (if health data is recorded)
Community
Challenge your climbing partners
Share workouts in the feed, react to your friends’ sessions and challenge them to a duel: same exercise, same load. The winner takes the record.
- Publish your own hangboard workouts and inspire the community
- Train together with friends and link up afterwards
- Take on duels and rematches

Frequently asked questions
How much does Project Beta cost?
Project Beta is free – no ads and no in-app purchases.
Which hangboards are supported?
The hangboard workouts are tailored to popular fingerboards such as the Beastmaker 1000 and 2000. For every exercise the app shows you the matching hold on your board.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. All workouts run on iPhone and iPad. With Apple Watch you can additionally record bouldering sessions with elevation, heart rate and energy.
Is Project Beta available for Android?
The Android version is in testing and coming to Google Play soon. Write to us if you would like to test it early – until then Project Beta also runs in your browser.
Is hangboard training suitable for beginners?
The workouts adapt to your level. Finger training puts heavy strain on tendons and pulleys: warm up, only train when free of pain and progress slowly. Project Beta is not a medical device.
In which countries is the app available?
In the EU and EEA, Switzerland and the United Kingdom – in English, German and French.
