BJJnotes Alternative - More Than Just a Digital Notebook for BJJ
Why BJJnotes Feels Like Homework (And MatTime Doesn't)
Tired of BJJnotes.app feeling like a boring digital notebook? MatTime turns your BJJ journey into an exciting, social, and motivating experience.
The Problem with BJJnotes.app
😴 It's Just a Digital Notebook
BJJnotes.app is literally just note-taking software with a BJJ theme. You write stuff down, and... that's it. No motivation, no community, no progress visualization.
- • Feels like doing homework after training
- • No visual progress tracking
- • Zero community features
- • Boring text-only interface
🤷♂️ Doesn't Solve the Real Problem
The hard part isn't taking notes—it's staying motivated for years. BJJnotes gives you a place to write but nothing to keep you coming back.
- • Most people stop using it after 2-3 weeks
- • No long-term journey visualization
- • Doesn't address motivation challenges
- • Can't connect with training partners
