## What is Hello, Planks!?

Version 3
At its core, it’s more than a stopwatch: It’s your personal plank-warrior timer, with a big, bold start/stop button front and centre ...counting every second as you power through the burn. And forget the screen dimming after 30 seconds: this timer stays awake for the long haul, just like you.

Every plank you crush is logged with motivating stats and progress tracking. Earn shiny crowns as you unlock achievements, and watch your planks turn into bars on your journey to greatness. Hold longer than your average? Your bar gets darker and stronger. Shorter plank? It still counts, ...because it’s still progress.

Your mission: stack those longer, darker lines at the top and level up over time.

And that’s just the beginning…

Remember: the only bad plank is the one that didn’t happen.

Summary:
More than a stopwatch—this is your plank timer, logbook, and progress tracker in one.

TLDR;
• Build consistency, beat your average, and watch your streak grow—one plank at a time.
• Big, simple start/stop timer (with screen-awake support)
• Automatic plank history with stats
• Achievement crowns to celebrate milestones
• Clean bar charts that show your progress at a glance (longer = darker)

Build consistency, beat your average, and watch your streak grow—one plank at a time.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.5 — 2026-02-08

Version 3.5 — Full send to Strava.
Every plank you survive can now be uploaded to Strava—because if it burned, it earned a spot on the timeline. One plank at a time, your consistency becomes visible proof.

### 3.4 — 2026-01-26

Version 3.2 includes new achievements, minor bug fixes and UI improvements.

### 3.1 — 2026-01-13

Version 3.1

v3.1 just landed — and it’s looking sharp. New UI, new graphics, and a swipeable banner so you can choose your hero image like the legend you are. We’ve also added a new chart that pits this month against the last three (because progress is even sweeter when you can see it). Need to clean up a log? Long-press to delete a plank. And yes… copy & paste has officially stopped being weird.

### 3.0 — 2025-12-20

This is a complete rewrite in Swift, native to iOS, so everything is much snappier.

### 2.0 — 2024-10-23

Complete rewrite. Out with Flutter and Dart, if you must know, and in with Maui and .NET.
