ControlPunch

ControlPunch is a mobile app (iOS/Android) for orienteers and clubs to set up realistic training courses without the usual admin hassle. Organizers place controls on a map, print QR codes (or use NFC tags), and participants “punch” at each control with their phone. The app records split times, route choices (via optional GPS), and auto-generates results, rankings, and simple post-race analysis. It also supports offline mode for forests with no signal and syncs when back online. The goal is not to replace official timing systems at major events, but to make weekly trainings, school sessions, and beginner courses easy to run and easy to join. Monetization is straightforward: free for individuals with limited courses, paid club plans for unlimited events, exports, and multi-coach management.
