Personal project
Climbing App
An app to log bouldering and rock climbing, guided by Mono, and its website for gyms, foundations and brands that want to join a collaborative platform.

All the project information lives on its website, fewiyo.github.io/escalada-plataforma: what the app is, what each gym, foundation or brand can and cannot do, how privacy is handled, the plans, the roadmap, how to install it and direct contact via WhatsApp. It is the entry point for anyone who wants to join, and it launched at an event with 17 climbing gyms.
It started as a personal climbing training app and is now an installable app to log every climbing day: bouldering by color, the way gyms grade it, and rock with the French scale. It is guided by Mono, a character who welcomes you, celebrates progress and gives reminders. You go straight in with both disciplines on, and each person turns off the one they don't use from their profile.
The core decision is that everything works offline and without accounts: data is stored on the phone and nobody else sees it. The technique module analyzes a video of your own climb with pose estimation over 33 body points, also on the phone. Usage is measured only with anonymous, cookie-free statistics, and the privacy policy was written with Chile's data protection law (Ley 21.719), in force from December 2026, in mind.
In October 2026 the project took a product leap: a proposal for climbing gyms, crag foundations and brands to have their own space in the app, presented at an event with 17 gyms. A simulator was built with profiles and dashboards for each, a health module with an emergency button and profiles for nurses and paramedics who climb, and an admin panel. There is a sales site with direct WhatsApp contact and a printed kit with QR codes.
Two design decisions worth telling. Nothing is competitive: no rankings or comparisons between people, only goals for the whole community. And sharing is off by default: each climber decides, gym by gym, whether to contribute their routes, and they are shared anonymously. The streak is also weekly rather than daily, because a daily streak pushes people to train injured.
