Choose your par time, the random start delay and how many repetitions the series should have.
A loud, sharp start signal after an unpredictable delay — exactly like a match timer.
The microphone catches the shot and the clock stops. Your hands stay on the gun.
A dark, glare-free display with oversized numbers and controls you can hit with a thumb while the other hand holds the gun.
Every range is loud in a different way, and every caliber sounds different. Instead of guessing a threshold, DryFire measures it.
Two seconds of quiet. The app measures the actual noise level where you are standing.
From the background and your shots the app computes a threshold that sits safely above the noise and below your quietest shot. It is saved per firearm.
Dry practice against the par beep is what makes range time cheap. The library is structured, not a random list.
Every series is saved, so you can see whether last month actually moved anything.
Every session with your own rating and notes.
Training-day streak, percentage inside par and an activity heatmap.
Your times for a single drill over time — the real proof of progress.
Every feature is included: timer, shot detection, all 30 drills, statistics and training plans. No trial, no locked features, no account.
DryFire has no servers, so there is nowhere for your data to go. It works on a plane, in a basement range, anywhere.
No. The click of a firing pin is too quiet for a phone microphone to catch reliably — it gets missed, or confused with racking the slide. DryFire times live shots. For dry practice you run the par beep and rate each repetition yourself with one tap.
Splits are measured shot to shot and are accurate. First-shot time carries a small constant offset from your phone's audio output latency, so absolute values can differ slightly from a hardware timer — the trend and your progress remain valid.
Usually yes — raise the detection sensitivity and calibrate with that firearm. The quieter the shot and the louder the range, the more the calibration matters.
They can. Calibration sets the threshold above the ambient level, but a phone microphone hears the whole line. Keep the phone close to your position and lower the sensitivity on a busy range.
Never. Everything runs on the device, including detection and statistics.
If Android Auto Backup is enabled on your phone, your app data is included in your own Google Drive backup and restored after a reinstall. It is managed by Google in your account — the developer has no access to it.

Free, offline, and it fits in the pocket you already carry to the range.
