Frame

Frame is a training journal for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), built on a hard truth: you forget most of what you’re taught within days. Log a session in thirty seconds by voice, and Frame holds every technique, brings it back just before you’d forget it, and shows you — in plain data — that you’re actually improving. Built for anyone who’s felt stuck at their belt, so they have a reason to keep turning up.

Built against the forgetting curve

A single session throws four or five details at you — the grip, the angle, the small correction that made the sweep finally work — and within a week almost all of them are gone. Frame is built around that decay rather than despite it.

Everything you log comes back to you on a schedule: a few days later, then a week, then a month, timed to land just before you’d lose it. There’s nothing to revise and no flashcards to sit down with — the app works out what’s about to fade and puts it in front of you. Retention is the product, and it’s the one thing a notebook has never done.

The log you’ll actually keep

Everyone knows they should keep a training journal. Almost nobody does, because writing one up after an hour of getting choked is the last thing you want to do.

Frame removes the friction: talk for thirty seconds — “started in closed guard, hit a scissor sweep to mount, got swept, tapped to an armbar” — and it transcribes on-device, turns it into a structured session, and hands back a weekly read on your game. Nothing typed, nothing uploaded.

The progress you can’t feel

Frame runs offline-first and keeps your training history yours — saved the instant you log it, private, exportable, never sold. It’s hundreds of hours on the mat; it doesn’t belong on someone else’s server.

The goal underneath every decision is simple and hard: make the progress you can’t feel visible, so the people who’d otherwise quit have a reason to come back for the next stripe — not more features, but more people still on the mat a year from now.
