A rowing screen you can read mid stroke
Why Oarca turns the phone sideways, counts the target down for you and keeps every outing together in one place.
On the water, a rower has a second at most to look at a screen. Small numbers, menus and buttons do not work there. Oarca started from that constraint: everything you need during a piece should be readable at a glance, and everything else can wait until you are back on land.
Turn the phone sideways
During a session the phone sits in landscape and becomes a dashboard. Metres, strokes, pace per 500m and stroke rate sit in large tiles, with the time left and the current interval right beside them. A progress bar shows how much of the piece is done, so you never have to stop to check.
Let the app hold the plan
Sometimes you just want to row, and Just Row is there for that. Other days have a plan: a single time, a single distance, a stroke count, constant or variable intervals, or a drill. Oarca counts the target down for you, so your attention stays on the boat rather than on arithmetic.
Read the session afterwards
Every finished session is saved with the route drawn on the map, next to total time, distance, strokes, average stroke rate and average pace. Splits break the outing into parts, which is where you see where the pace held and where it dropped.
On the water and on land
A heart rate strap shows your heart rate live while you row, and action cameras and smart eyewear join the same session. Indoors, Oarca connects to the PM5 monitor of a Concept2 ergometer, so winter training ends up in the same history as summer outings.
