BetterBullet

BetterBullet answers a question no other chess tool asks: not whether the moves were good, but whether the clock was spent in the right places. It ingests every 1+0 game from a Lichess or Chess.com account and plots the pacing curve - seconds per move across the opening, middlegame, and scramble - against benchmarks for the rating band and for the top 1%. For a bullet player who keeps losing won positions, that chart is a more useful diagnosis than another accuracy percentage, because in 1+0 the losing move is usually the one that took four seconds rather than the one that was objectively second-best.

The report goes past pacing into phase-by-phase strength, opening ROI, win and loss habits, and tilt patterns after a loss. Analysis runs locally in the browser, so no account and no game upload to a third-party server is required to see it work, and the entire demo report is browseable before any payment. That is an unusually honest way to sell a $29 one-time product in a category where the norm is a subscription behind a signup wall.

The limits are narrow scope and youth. It is 1+0 only: nothing here transfers to blitz, rapid, or classical, so a player who mostly plays 3+0 should skip it entirely. The training drills that would turn the diagnosis into practice are still listed as coming soon, which means today the product is a report rather than a trainer - it tells a player what to fix without providing the reps to fix it. And it is a solo-developer project launched in 2026, so long-term maintenance is unproven and the $29 founding price is a bet on that continuing. For a dedicated bullet specialist above roughly 1600 who already knows the openings and suspects time management is the leak, it is worth the one-time cost. For anyone else, the free demo report is the whole product worth having.
