Oarca is the rowing app for the individual athlete. Pick a training, row, and watch pace, strokes, and heart rate live on a landscape phone.
Live performance
Turn the phone sideways and the screen becomes a dashboard you can read mid stroke. Metres, strokes, pace per 500m and stroke rate sit in large tiles, with the time left and the interval you are on right beside them. A progress bar shows how much of the piece is done, so you never have to stop to check.

- Pace per 500m

Training types
Pick Just Row when you simply want to get on the water, or set a target before you push off. Choose a single time, a single distance or a stroke count, build constant or variable intervals, or follow a drill. Oarca counts the target down for you, so your attention stays on the boat.

History
Every finished session is saved with the route you rowed, drawn on the map. Next to it you get the summary: total time, distance, strokes, average stroke rate and average pace. Splits break the session into parts, so you can see where you held your pace and where it dropped.

Devices
Pair a heart rate strap to follow your heart rate live while you row. Action cameras and smart eyewear connect to the same session, so everything from one outing stays together in one place. Indoors, connect the PM5 monitor of a Concept2 ergometer and row with the same app.
