# Wrist Dope

> Wrist Dope is a precision long-range ballistics calculator for Apple Watch and iPhone. It produces real-time firing solutions — elevation and windage holds, a full range card, and a live hit-probability estimate — from a true physics engine (4th-order Runge-Kutta point-mass solver with G1/G7 drag, spin drift, and Coriolis) driven by live sensors and weather. It works standalone on the watch, with no phone required in the field. Made by Musket Holdings, LLC.

## Key facts

- Platforms: Apple Watch (watchOS) and iPhone (iOS). Each works fully standalone; paired devices sync automatically.
- Engine: independent, clean-room point-mass solver — RK4 integration, G1 and G7 drag models, spin drift, Coriolis, and full atmosphere/density-altitude effects. Validated against published reference trajectories. Not a lookup table.
- Outputs: elevation and wind holds (switchable MIL or MOA), a complete scrollable range card from muzzle to max range, live hit probability, density altitude, and transonic-range warnings (rows past Mach 1.2 flagged as holds become unreliable).
- Inputs: live Apple Watch sensors plus Apple WeatherKit; point-and-lock wind direction via the compass; inclinometer angle compensation.
- Hands-free: Siri voice holds on watch and iPhone — "Hey Siri, Dope for 250" speaks the hold; wind and target can also be set by voice.
- Scope Level: a free anti-cant rifle level on both Apple Watch and iPhone — zeroed to the rifle, with visual, audible, and haptic cues. Pro can show the level beside Live Fire holds and derive the shot angle from it.
- Rifle-mounted use: iPhone landscape support (control rail on either side) and a keep-awake Live Fire display (iOS idle-timer off; always-on rendering on the watch). Mounting hardware is user-supplied.
- Terminal performance: an "ethical shot" check rates retained energy and impact velocity against the game you're after, alongside hit probability.
- Library: build guns and loads, search 150+ factory cartridges, set a reference zero with per-load offsets. Scan a factory ammo barcode on iPhone to auto-build a load (caliber, bullet, BC, velocity), or pick from a bullet catalog with factory BCs. Export/import profiles, and print/AirPrint or share a PDF dope card.
- Watch face: seven configurable complications (mini range card, elevation/wind holds with arrows, target, density altitude, active load).
- Hit probability: computed from rifle group size, velocity spread, and wind confidence against target size.
- Privacy: the app has no accounts, no servers, no analytics, no third-party trackers. All app data stays on device. (The website uses cookieless, aggregated Vercel Web Analytics — see https://wristdope.com/privacy.)
- Pricing: free to download on Apple Watch and iPhone — the full ballistic solver, Live Fire holds, range card, and hit probability; accuracy is never gated. Wrist Dope Pro is a one-time $39.99 (no subscription, no account, no recurring fee) and unlocks barcode ammo scanning, Siri holds, automatic environmentals, live complications, printable range cards, and unlimited rifle/load profiles. A free 7-day Pro trial is available — no credit card. Pro can be bought or restored directly on the Apple Watch — no phone required.

## FAQ

- Is there a ballistics calculator app for Apple Watch? Yes — Wrist Dope is a standalone long-range ballistics computer for Apple Watch, with a full companion app on iPhone.
- Does it work without a phone or signal? Yes — all calculations run on the watch; only live weather needs a connection (atmosphere can also be entered manually).
- MIL or MOA? Both — holds are switchable to match your scope.
- Which model? Point-mass RK4 with G1/G7 drag, spin drift, and Coriolis.
- Supported devices? Apple Watch Ultra and recent Series on current watchOS, plus iPhone on current iOS.

## Roadmap

- A web/MCP ballistics endpoint (so assistants and tools can run firing solutions via the Wrist Dope engine) is planned but not yet available.
