	The Kilter Board product line combines physical equipment ownership with ongoing dependence on software services. While users and gyms own the physical wall and hardware, the system's core functionality—particularly LED lighting used to display climbing routes—relies on the associated mobile application and backend services. In practice, the density and arrangement of holds make independent use without guided lighting significantly limited, meaning the app is required for the standard intended use. Core features such as route selection, performance tracking, and access to the shared climb database also depend on these services, which requires an internet connection in addition to local Bluetooth connectivity.<ref name="support" />		The Kilter Board product line combines physical equipment ownership with ongoing dependence on software services.
