About
SendLog is a feature-rich climbing journal app built exclusively for rock climbers who want a powerful, privacy-focused way to track their progress. Developed by Robert Ruzitschka, the app lets climbers record every send with detailed metadata including route name, climbing area, date, difficulty grade, personal star rating, send type (redpoint, pinkpoint, onsight), and personal notes. Beyond basic logging, SendLog includes a dedicated project tracker to manage active climbs, record attempts and high points, update project status, and convert projects to completed sends. A separate training log tracks gym sessions and consistency over time. Climbers can attach photos to routes, record multilingual voice notes (English, German, French, Spanish), and generate shareable achievement cards for social media. SendLog delivers rich analytics including total routes climbed, average ratings, top climbing areas, grade distribution charts, and a calendar heatmap of climbing frequency. It supports Sport, Multi-Pitch, and Boulder route types with dedicated filtering. Data is stored locally by default, with optional cloud sync via Sign in with Apple. Export and import via CSV/ZIP is also supported for full data portability. SendLog is completely free with no ads or in-app purchases, making it ideal for climbers of all levels — from gym beginners to seasoned outdoor trad climbers seeking a serious logbook solution.
