About this app

Master your marksmanship with PlinkPal – the only app that combines a pro-grade Shot Timer, Laser Training system, and Dry Fire coach in your pocket.

Whether you are a competitive shooter (USPSA, IDPA, IPSC), a Law Enforcement Officer (LEO), or a CCW holder, PlinkPal turns your device into a smart shooting range.

🔥 WHY CHOOSE PLINKPAL? Most apps require you to buy expensive sensors or proprietary hardware. PlinkPal is different. We use advanced audio algorithms and your phone’s accelerometer to detect shots with precision.

No Hardware Required: Just use your phone or Wear OS smartwatch.

All-in-One: Stop juggling separate apps for live fire and dry fire.

Cost Effective: For less than the cost of one box of ammo, get a training tool that lasts forever.

CORE FEATURES:

🎯 Live Fire Acoustic Shot Timer Ditch the bulky belt timer. PlinkPal is accurate, reliable, and always with you.

Precision Logging: Tracks draw time, split times, and total elapsed time.

Adjustable Sensitivity: Works for everything from airsoft to large caliber firearms.

Solo or Coach Mode: Perfect for timing yourself or running a squad at the range.

🏠 Laser Academy & Dry Fire Training Train comfortably at home and save money on ammo.

Laser Training: Compatible with any generic laser cartridge. PlinkPal detects the laser dot on your target for real-time accuracy scoring.

Smart Drills: Challenge yourself with built-in drills like "Seek and Hit," "Dot Torture," and reaction tests.

Par Timer: Set custom par times to push your speed during dry fire practice.

⌚ Exclusive: Wear OS Smartwatch Integration The ultimate solution for crowded indoor ranges.

Recoil Detection: When the range is too loud for an audio timer, pair your Wear OS watch. PlinkPal uses the watch’s motion sensors to detect the recoil of your gun, logging shots accurately even when the shooter next to you is mag-dumping.

Remote Control: Start and stop your timer right from your wrist.

📊 Advanced Analytics, Scoring & Sharing

Share Your Sessions: Easily export detailed session reports to share with your instructor for feedback, or post your best split times and targets to social media to challenge your friends.

Hit Factor Scoring: Automatically calculates your Hit Factor (HF) for USPSA/IPSC style scoring.

Loadouts: Track performance across different firearms (e.g., your concealed carry pistol vs. competition rifle).

Visual Charts: See your split times drop and accuracy rise over weeks of training.

Leaderboards: Compare your scores with the PlinkPal community.

WHO IS PLINKPAL FOR?

Beginners: Learn trigger control and sight alignment safely at home before hitting the range.

Competitors: Practice your classifiers, improve your draw-to-first-shot, and analyze splits.

Instructors: A portable, easy-to-use tool to objectively measure student progress and review student logs remotely.

100% Offline Capable Train in remote outdoor ranges or underground bunkers. PlinkPal requires no internet connection to run core features. Data syncs when you're back online.

absolutley pointless. the app barely works at all, and sadly registers finger snaps but not gun fire... thats the whole point so its utterly useless unless your only using for dry fire. and they want $60 for it... yeah complete waste of money

Hi Karl, sorry for your frustration! It sounds like you either used dry fire mode at the range or calibration was incorrect. To fix this, switch to live fire and use the auto-calibration button after your session or adjust the calibtrion maully in the edit split section. Please reach out if you need more help.

This was the perfect free little dry fire timer app. Disappointing that recently they have moved to a subscription only model. I understand everyone needs to make a living, but 8 dollars a month? Nah. Just gonna buy a shot timer.

We hear your disappointment, it was a tough decision. The annual plan is $4.99 a month and with a single dry fire session of 50 rounds a month the app practically pays for itself, saving you more on ammo than you’ve paid for the app. We also believe the added features and ongoing updates offer great value over traditional shot timers.
