Curling rewards practice like any other sport. You get better at draws, at hits, at one turn before the other. The difference is that the people playing are also the people keeping score, in gloves, on ice, with a broom in one hand. So the scoring happens on a scrap of paper, and a scrap of paper can tell you who won but not how you threw.

Hogline moves that to your wrist. Logging a stone takes three taps: draw or hit, in-turn or out-turn, and how it landed. Scoring an end takes two. Look down mid-game and you see the current end and the running score in yellow and red, the same as the board at the club.

When the game ends you get your shot percentage, split by shot type and by turn, plus every end with its result and accuracy. That part is why I built it. I knew my out-turn draws were bad. I had no way to prove it, and no way to tell whether they were getting better.

How it works

Logging a stone in Hogline: draw or hit, in-turn or out-turn, then rate the result
Draw or hit, in-turn or out-turn, then how it landed. The buttons are sized for a mitt, and a haptic confirms each log so you can look back up.
Scoring an end in Hogline: who scored, and how many
Between ends: who scored, and how many. Blank ends are one button.
Hogline match summary: shot success, split by shot type, and an end-by-end breakdown
Shot success scored in points, the way curlers already score it, then split by shot type and turn. A 65% draw game sitting next to a 100% hit game is a practice plan.

Works without a signal
Which matters, because most club ice sits in a basement. A full eight-end game barely touches the battery.
Version one is deliberately small. Undo, hammer stats, a Smart Stack widget, and an iOS companion for clubs and seasons are what I am working on next. If you curl and something is missing, support@hogline.app comes straight to me.
