Finger training, twice a day.

The no-hang

Train your fingers. Keep your feet down.

A no-hang trains the grip you climb on without hanging from a board. You hold a small edge with a weight clipped under it and lift the weight off the floor. You choose the load to the kilo, and the edge fits in your bag.

  1. Clip on a weight

    A kettlebell, a plate or a bag of water, hung under a portable lifting edge.

  2. Lift it off the floor

    Half crimp or open hand. Hold it for a few seconds, and set it down on the chime.

  3. Then the other hand

    Left, a short change, then right. A few sets, a few minutes, and you’re done.

Works with any portable lifting edge or block. On a fixed hangboard, switch to both hands.

Timer

One hand at a time. Eyes off the screen.

Left, a short change, then right, for every set. You keep your eyes on the edge; the phone tells you when to lift and when to set it down.

  • Sets, hands, rest and the change between them
  • Numbers big enough to read from the floor
  • A short countdown before the first set

Lock screen

Lock the phone. It keeps counting.

The session runs as a Live Activity on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island: the phase, the set, the hand and the seconds left.

Live Activity
The home screen after the first session: session 2 of 2 opens in 5 hours 59 minutes.
Opens on its own
Session 1 of 2

Twice a day

Two sessions. Six hours apart.

A session takes a few minutes, so two fit around a working day: one before work, one after. When the first is done, the second opens six hours later, and the home screen says exactly when.

  • A countdown to the next session
  • A streak for the days you show up
  • Done for today means done
Logging a session: weight 20 kg, effort 5 of 10, discomfort 0, and an optional note.
Effort, 1 to 10

Log

Write down how it felt.

After each session: the weight you used, how hard it was and whether anything hurt. It takes a few seconds and builds the record you train from.

  • Weight, effort and discomfort, plus a note
  • Synced to your other devices through iCloud
  • With Pro, a small next step after a run of easy sessions

Also in Ichidan

  • iCloud sync

    Your log follows you to a new phone. It lives in your own private iCloud, not on a server of ours.

  • Nothing collected

    No account, no analytics, no ads. The App Store label says Data Not Collected, and it means it.

  • Set it up once

    Edge, grip, weight, sets and timings. The setup is saved and every session starts from it.

  • Widget Pro

    What is next, on the home screen: the session, or when it opens.

  • Reminder Pro

    One notification when the second session opens. Never more than that.

  • Full history Pro

    Every session you have logged, not only the last 14 days.
