Using the app

The essentials.

BJJ Chronicles is designed to stay simple before, during and after training.

Logging a session

Use Log training from Today and write or dictate naturally. The app identifies techniques, positions, outcomes, coaching cues and next actions before you save.

Planning the next one

Pin up to three techniques, cues or ideas on Today. A later journal entry can connect a recognised plan to the session where you worked on it.

Building your game

Add techniques with a category, position, development stage and the key cues you want to remember.

Tracking progress

Progress summarises mat time, live rounds and goals from the information already stored in your journal.

Membership

Start with 10 days of full access free, with no automatic charge. Continue with the limited £7.99 lifetime Founder Membership, £4.99 monthly or £49.99 annually. Apple processes every paid option.

Backing up your journal

Open Settings and choose Create full backup to save sessions, techniques, goals and next-session plans. You can restore that JSON backup later. A sessions-only CSV export is also available.

Do I need an account?

No. BJJ Chronicles works without registration or sign-in.

Will the 10-day trial charge me automatically?

No. The free trial ends after 10 days and does not become a paid subscription. You decide separately whether to start Founder Membership.

What are the paid membership options?

In the UK, Founder Membership is a £7.99 one-time purchase for lifetime access and is available to the first 1,000 members while the offer remains on sale. Monthly Membership is £4.99 per month and Annual Membership is £49.99 per year. Apple shows the applicable storefront price before you confirm.

How do I restore or cancel membership?

Use Restore Purchases in BJJ Chronicles Settings to restore a lifetime Founder purchase or active subscription with the Apple Account that bought it. Founder Membership has no renewal to cancel. Manage or cancel monthly and annual renewal from your Apple Account subscription settings. The device-based free trial is not restored to another device.

Does my journal sync to a developer server?

No. The current version stores your journal locally on your iPhone and does not use a developer-operated cloud service.

How does voice entry work?

Tap the microphone in Log training and grant microphone and speech-recognition permission. The app requires on-device recognition, does not save raw audio and adds the editable transcript to your journal text. You can always type instead.

How do automatic journal insights work?

BJJ Chronicles checks your narrative on your iPhone against its built-in BJJ vocabulary and your Technique Library. Identified tags and cues are suggestions from your own text; review the entry before saving.

How do I back up and restore my journal?

Create a full JSON backup from Settings. It contains sessions, techniques, goals and next-session plans. Choose Restore from backup to import it later; the app asks for confirmation because restoring replaces the current journal. iOS may also include app data in an encrypted device or iCloud Backup according to your Apple settings.

How do I remove my data?

Journal sessions and techniques can be removed individually. Settings also includes Delete all journal data, which removes all sessions, techniques, goals and next-session plans after confirmation. Copies may remain in exports or device backups you control.

Can I change my belt theme?

Yes. Open Settings and choose white, blue, purple, brown or black belt. The app remembers your selection on the device.

Is the app giving coaching or medical advice?

No. BJJ Chronicles helps you record and reflect on your own training. Use appropriate instruction, judgement and medical advice when needed.
