# Freeform Mode
> Explore flexible, self-paced training sessions with customizable intensity and depth
Freeform sessions give you extended, flexible practice time designed for playful exploration and self-directed learning. Unlike structured modes, Freeform lets you choose the pace, depth, and rhythm that feel right while you work toward a target average reps per minute (RPM).
On the latest beta firmware, the Freeform dial is replaced by Speed Mode. Behavior is the same: you aim to keep your RPM in the target zone. See Software 2.0.0 Beta Preview for details.
## What you control
You set a target average RPM. How you achieve that average is up to you. Your reps can vary in:
* **Speed** — Alternate bursts of speed with slower, controlled movement
* **Depth** — Practice deeper movements or stay shallow to focus on technique
* **Rhythm** — Mix steady patterns with free play to build comfort and confidence
Using the vibrator attachment? It provides real-time haptic feedback when you’re on track. If feedback isn’t responding, make sure your device is paired and calibrated before starting.
## Recommended session length
The default suggested duration for Freeform sessions is **20 minutes**. This window gives you time to warm up, explore variations, and build endurance.
* New to Freeform? Start with 10–15 minutes and a modest RPM target.
* Experienced trainer? Try 25–40 minutes with progressive RPM targets.
## Start a Freeform session
In the dashboard, go to Deepthroat Trainer → Templates. Create a new template or edit an existing one.
You see your template name and segment list in the editor.
Choose Add Segment → Freeform. Set the target **RPM**, choose a **duration** (20 minutes is the default), and select the **toy** you’ll use.
If you haven’t calibrated depth on this toy, do that first in a structured mode (e.g., Repetition) so measurements are accurate.
Save your template and mark it Active so it’s used by your device.
Back on Templates, your updated template shows as Active.
Start the session from your device. Maintain your chosen pace and depth while keeping your average near the RPM target. If you enabled Hands‑Free Mode in your template (Ultra), segments will advance automatically. See DTT FAQs for details.
Use your breath to steady rhythm. If your RPM is drifting high, slow your exhale; if it’s low, shorten the pause between reps.
End your session from the device when done. Your results upload to the dashboard where you can review scores and trends.
On the dashboard, you can see session duration, RPM tracking, and your score. For how points work on leaderboards, see Points.
## Scoring and feedback
* On beta firmware, Freeform uses the unified scoring model: `Score = Time in Zone ÷ Active Time`.
* Haptic feedback (vibrator attachment) confirms when you’re in the target zone.
* Your leaderboard points reflect session performance and duration. See Points for the current breakdown.
If you’re on Production firmware, visuals may differ slightly from the beta screenshots, but the training workflow and goals are the same.
## Technique ideas to try
* Pyramid sets: Increase RPM for 2–3 minutes, then step back down.
* Depth ladders: Stay slow but progressively deepen every few reps.
* Interval play: 60 seconds fast, 60 seconds slow; repeat.
* Recovery blocks: Insert 30–60 second low‑RPM blocks to maintain form.
- Freeform is designed for long‑form, playful practice.
- You set an average RPM target; speed, depth, and rhythm can vary.
- The vibrator attachment mirrors your performance with real‑time feedback when you’re in the zone.
- The dashboard’s default Freeform duration is 20 minutes; adjust to your level.
* **Can’t hold target RPM**: Lower the target by 10–15% or shorten the session by 5 minutes. Focus on smooth rhythm before adding speed or depth.
* **No haptic feedback**: Confirm the device is paired and the attachment is connected. Start a short Repetition segment to verify calibration, then return to Freeform.
* **Data didn’t upload**: Connect to Wi‑Fi and power‑cycle the device. The device replays the last downloaded settings offline; your next online session will sync results.
Listen to your body. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness, or nausea. Take frequent breaks, hydrate, and never “push through” discomfort. Longer sessions demand more recovery time.
Build timing and accuracy with structured reps.
Focus on sustained depth and pacing over time.
