Which one is for you

Pick by what you want from a journal.

No app is right for everyone who trains. Here's an honest way to choose.

  • You want something you can use today

    Every app above is out now, and Afterclass isn't. A notebook works too, if you'll keep it.

  • You want stats and charts of your rolls

    BJJBuddy and Grappling AI are built around them. Afterclass deliberately has no tap counts or performance scores.

  • You'd rather type, or study a set curriculum

    BJJ Notes has manual logging and spaced repetition; BJJ Recall has flashcards by belt level.

  • You want to remember what your coach showed you, and actually try it live

    That's what Afterclass is being built for: talk after class, recall out loud, one plan for the next roll.
