What changes for your club
Four things that eat up time in almost every rowing club.
| Topic | Before | With oarbit |
|---|---|---|
| Attendance | Before:Replies are scattered across several group chats. At the dock, nobody really knows who’s coming. | With oarbit:“I’m in” or “Can’t make it” with one tap. Coaches see right away who’s coming, along with the reply deadline. |
| Parents | Before:Parents ask one by one about departure times, meeting points and lifts. | With oarbit:Parents link to their child, reply on their behalf and see events, updates and carpools. |
| Training | Before:Plans in spreadsheets, data on the watch, attendance on paper. | With oarbit:Sessions and templates, groups, attendance and personal bests. Garmin watches and Concept2 send the data directly. |
| Updates | Before:Updates go to everyone and get overlooked. | With oarbit:Updates only go to the groups they’re meant for. Events can go straight into the calendar on your phone. |
For club boards and youth coordinators
Whether your club uses oarbit is your call. These three questions almost always come up.
Data protection (GDPR)
- Data export as a file, account deletion in the app
- Consent based on age, can be withdrawn any time
- Decline without giving a reason, so no health data
Training plans
- Sessions and templates, “Copy last week”
- Recurring events, up to a year ahead
- Attendance, erg tests and personal bests
Youth safety
Many people who use oarbit are under 18. That’s why these rules always apply and can’t be switched off.
Never just one adult
Anything involving minors is always visible to at least two adults. There are no direct messages.
Background check
Videos and feedback for minors only become possible once the club has recorded the coach’s enhanced criminal record check.
German law: § 72a SGB VIIIPhotos and videos
Visible to the people in them and to the coaches. Shared further only if everyone tagged agrees.
Help and reporting
The club’s contact person and helplines are always one tap away in the app. The person reported never sees the report.
No judging bodies
oarbit doesn’t ask for weight or gender. There are no diet tips, not even from the AI.
No ads, no tracking
We don’t sell data. You can export your data and delete your account right in the app.
