For iPhone

Every arrow counted. Every session understood.

Archer's Journal is a training log for archers who want more than a score sheet. Record each end as you shoot it, note how you felt, and watch the patterns behind your average come out.

Sessions list showing outdoor training and competition entries with date, duration, venue, score, average and arrow count.

Built around how a session actually runs

Start the timer, shoot, score. The app follows the rhythm of a real practice or competition instead of asking you to fill in a form afterwards.

Live session timer

Start, end, and resume a session with a running clock. Adjust the start and end times afterwards if you forgot to tap.

End-by-end scoring

Tap the value, move to the next arrow. The scorecard shows every end in real target colours, with X kept separate from a plain ten.

Training and competition

Indoor or outdoor, practice or competition. Each combination brings sensible defaults — 3 arrows over 20 ends indoors, 6 over 12 outdoors.

Mood, effort, energy

Tag an end as focused, rushed, tired or confident, then rate how demanding the session felt and how much you had left at the end.

Loose arrows and notes

Count warm-up arrows without polluting your scored average, and keep notes on the session or on a single end.

The charts answer real questions

Pick a window — 30 days, 90 days, a year, or everything — and every number recalculates against it, including the change versus the period before. Filter to indoor or outdoor so you are never comparing an 18 metre round to a field course.

  • ProgressAverage, gold percentage and consistency, each with its movement against the previous period.
  • TrendPer-session average over time — built to show direction rather than the wiggle.
  • ConsistencyArrow variation inside an end and end variation across a session, as a spread band.
  • Score DistributionHow often you shot each value, with X counted on its own.
  • Mood, Effort & FatigueWhat you average when focused versus rushed, whether effort is paying off, and the end position where your form starts to go.
Insights screen filtered to indoor over one year, showing an 8.20 average up 0.55, 56% gold up 18%, consistency of 1.29, and a per-session trend chart.

Your journal is nobody else's business

There is no account to create, because there is no server to create it on. Your sessions live on your iPhone and sync through your own private iCloud database — which means we cannot read them, and neither can anyone else.

  • No analytics, crash reporting, ad networks, or third-party SDKs of any kind
  • iCloud sync uses your private CloudKit database, tied to your Apple Account
  • Export your whole journal to a file whenever you want, and import it back
  • Delete a session, or the app, and it is gone — nothing is retained elsewhere
