How it works

Four things the app does to your eye

You start not being able to tell a throw-up from a piece. A few weeks of one minute a day and you are naming the parts.

01

Every wall is written

That mess of colour is a name, built out of parts that all have names of their own. Tap through a piece and the app tells you what you are looking at.

02

Four branches to open

From a one second tag to a whole car. Styles unlock one after another as you get them right, so you always know what to look at next.

03

The words come with it

Benching, buffing, layups, fat caps. Over a hundred terms come back on a schedule that catches you just before you forget them.

04

One piece a day

Three questions on the piece of the day, then any drill you want. Miss a day and a banked grace day covers you once a week.

Anatomy

Twelve parts. One piece.

This is the drill the app opens with. Pick a part and watch where it sits on the wall — the same twelve names hold for every piece you will ever stand in front of.

Part of a piece

Outline

The line that closes every letter. Cut last, it decides whether the word holds together or falls apart.

Nothing in the app is a photograph. Every piece is drawn on the spot, so the same style turns up on a brick wall, a shutter, a rooftop or the side of a subway car — and never looks the same twice.

The style tree

Nineteen styles, four branches

Each card locks until you have earned it, then stays in your dex with its tells, its confusions and the era it was born in.

Inside the app

Built like a field guide, run like a gym

Five tabs. Nothing to subscribe to, nothing to unlock with money — you unlock it by getting things right.

The timeline

Sixty years, six eras

Every style has a birthday. The timeline gives you the writers who moved each era, the events that turned it, and a chronology you have to put back in order.

The blackbook

Sixteen badges and a rank to climb

Your blackbook keeps the streak, the badges, the rank and every piece you parked to study later.

Contact
