Hello PH community! I’m Chris, a climber, runner, product designer, and the solo maker of Sloper - Climb Tracker. I’m really excited to finally share it here and would love your support and feedback. Why did I build Sloper? Honestly, I was just frustrated with the existing climbing apps on the market. They were almost always clunky or poorly designed with confusing features and convoluted flows. At the same time, I was using running apps that gave me 10 years of clean, usable data I could look back on and measure my progress. That’s when I decided: climbing deserves the same. I wanted a clean, minimalist climbing app that provides exactly what you need to track your climbs in a super easy, streamlined way. How does it work? 📈 Log your climbs and sessions in just a few taps 🧩 Track long-term projects across multiple sessions with notes & photos 🎯 See helpful stats like grade pyramids, result breakdowns, and personal bests 🏆 Compete with friends on leaderboards ❤️ Sync heart rate data from Apple Health for training insights The free version gives you climb logging, project lists, and leaderboards. Premium unlocks advanced analytics, detailed project views, and Apple Health integration. Product Hunt exclusive 🎁 For the launch, Product Hunt users can try Premium free for a month with the code PH2025 (valid until Oct 31, 2025 - use this link to sign-up: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ct...) What’s next? I want Sloper to become the go-to place for climbers to track and celebrate their progress. A Sloper / WatchOS companion app is in the works and more analytic charts and insights are on the way! While I'm working to continually improve Sloper in the background, I’d love your feedback on what's available today (support@sloperapp.com). For all the climbers out there: What's the one thing you wish you had better insights on as it relates to your climbing progress? See you all on the wall! Cheers, Chris

Friend of the founder here - I’ve known Chris for a long time and I’d say among his many great attributes, there are two things that stand out: he’s an amazing designer and an avid climber.

Sloper is an example of what happens when a real community member builds for their community. It’s thoughtful, sleek, and extremely user focused.

If you like climbing or just want to support pure builders who love their craft, you’ve gotta check this out.

I'm a user of Sloper and love it. I've checked out a variety of climbing apps, and Sloper is the best app on the market to track your climbs, visualize your progress, and keep up with your climbing friends. One of the things I love most: Chris iterates at a crazy pace based on user feedback...so it's literally getting better every week. Super clean design and experience all around.

@tyler_finkelstein it's been fun seeing you on the leaderboards! And many thanks for all the ideas and inspiration to keep polishing new features.

Interface is super slick and easy to use during sessions. Analytics are great for tracking progress and planning workouts. You can definitely feel the founder's background as a designer + climber in the app.

Congrats on the launch!
