Your whole crew. One app.
Catch is the app a rowing team runs on. It keeps your lineups, ergs, schedules and race day in one place. No more digging tomorrow's boating out of the group chat.
Connect your erg. Watch every stroke.
Pair your Concept2 over Bluetooth and the row comes alive as you pull. Split, rate, watts and the real force curve of every stroke, live on your phone. Nothing to type. Nothing to photograph after.
- Every stroke as it happens. Force curve, split, rate and pace, all live. You see the whole row and not just the summary at the end.
- Coach-hosted 2k days. The squad connects their ergs and streams onto one board. The coach watches every lane in real time.
- Replay it stroke by stroke. Scrub any piece back after and go through it with the athlete.
Can't pair over Bluetooth? ErgScan reads your monitor straight off a photo. But Live Connect is the real thing. Every stroke, live, and no squinting at a blurry screenshot after.
Everything you juggle, on one screen.
Coaching a crew is mostly logistics. Who's in which boat, who turned up, who's holding their splits, and how you get tomorrow's boating to twenty people who half-read their texts. Right now that lives in a group chat, a photo of the lineup whiteboard, an erg spreadsheet only you can edit, and a clipboard in your kit bag.
Catch pulls all of it into one place. A full desktop console for the real admin work, and the phone app for everyone else. Build a lineup and it flags a starboard rower sitting on port before you launch. Post the boating once and the whole squad has it. Run a 2k and watch every erg stream onto one board. Less chasing people down. More actual coaching.
Catch- Lineups that catch mistakesSeats and sides for every boat, with a flag before you launch. Not halfway to the start.
- Live erg board & leaderboardsThe squad's pieces streaming in live, then ranked. PBs, club records and CSV export.

- Clubs & multiple squadsDirectors run several teams under one club, with cross-squad logistics and oversight.
One app
Less admin. More strokes.
The boring parts of running a crew, handled on your phone at the boathouse. Practice starts on time and everyone knows which seat they're in.
Lineups
Build the boat by seat and side. 8+, 4+, 4x, 2x, 1x. Put a starboard rower on port and Catch flags it before you launch, not halfway to the start line.
Radio team comms
Squad channels, pinned lineups, coach announcements and DMs. No more scrolling past forty memes to find out what time you're boating.
Erg leaderboards & records
Everyone's 2k, ranked live. Medals for PBs, club records that stick, and CSV export for the coach who loves a spreadsheet anyway.
Schedule & RSVP
Practices, attendance, practice plans and wellness check-ins in one place. Know who's rowing before you rig, not after.
Regattas
Entries, race times and results, tracked crew by crew. Race day has enough chaos already. Your schedule shouldn't add to it.
ErgScan
Can't pair over Bluetooth? Snap a photo of the PM5 monitor and Catch reads your splits, rate and every interval straight into your log. No typing in the car park.
Video review
Upload a clip from the launch or the bank and mark it up with your coach. Real feedback on your technique, not just something shouted across the water.
Seat racing
Run proper seat races and track every swap. Let the numbers pick the fastest boat, not the loudest voice in the shed.
Wellness & availability
Quick check-ins on how bodies are holding up and who's around. Training loads and lineups match who's actually fit to row.
Rowing on your own recreational
Not on a team? Track your own erg sessions, PBs and goals. Catch works for one rower just as well as a whole squad.
Goals & progress
Set targets, log your training and watch the trend line climb. Every rower sees their own progress, season on season.
Built for the whole squad
Athletes, coxes and coaches each see what they need. And it's free for athletes, always. Your novices shouldn't need a subscription to see the lineup.
Here's what your crew actually sees.
The coach's console, the club overview, an athlete's home screen, a lineup, and a 2k mid-piece. Near enough what it all looks like on a normal week.
CatchCatchWhy Catch exists
Hello, my name is Liam. I'm a rower, like a lot of the people reading this. On a team that practices 5 or 6 days a week, you start to notice things. Not big flaws, just the small stuff. Data and logistics that aren't bad exactly, but could be a lot more organised and joined up.
I'm also a bit obsessed with this sport. The mechanics of it, the way a good crew moves. And I kept thinking the rowing part is hard enough on its own. The organising part shouldn't be. So I started building the app I wished my own team had.
Catch is that app. It's in development now and coming to iOS first, and it'll always be free for athletes on a team. And if you're not on a team, it's still free. You get most of the same features and attention to detail at the recreational level.

Rowing's a small world, and Catch is being built right inside it by someone who'll be on the water next to you. Join the waitlist and we'll email you the moment it hits iOS. One email. No drip campaign. Promise.
