## What is Kingtide?

The workout tracker for people whose bodies hurt. Log every set like any tracker. Then tell it what's sore, and every session is rebuilt around it. Bring the routine you already run, from a photo or a Strong or Hevy export, and it's in your week the same day.

Most workout apps assume nothing ever hurts. Kingtide is built for the opposite. Log a bad shoulder, a nagging knee, or a lower back that flares up, and every workout from then on is built around it. Not "see a professional and come back." A session you can actually do today.

LOG AN INJURY ONCE

Mark the area on a body map and say how it feels. Kingtide swaps the movements that aggravate it for ones that don't, and leaves the rest of your session alone. Mark it good again when it settles, and the plan walks you back.

YOUR ROUTINE, IN ONE IMPORT

Screenshots from Strong or Hevy, a CSV export, a whiteboard, a photo of paper. Kingtide reads it on your phone, keeps your days, your sets, your reps and your weights, and shows you what it read so you can fix anything before it becomes your week. Your leg day stays a leg day.

YOUR REHAB PLAN, FOLDED IN

Photograph the exercise sheet you were given, by a physio, a PT, a chiro or your doctor. Those exercises are built into your week, so you follow that guidance without dropping your training. Nothing is uploaded to do it.

A TRACKER THAT PAYS ATTENTION

The runner logs what you actually lifted, not what was planned. Recovered muscle goes up. Still-sore muscle holds the weight and adds a rep. Every number on the progress screen is read back off sessions you really did, so an empty week looks empty.

A PLAN THAT BENDS INSTEAD OF BREAKING

Short on time, or slept badly? Say so at check-in and today's session reshapes to fit. Training for a sport? Say which, and the week leads with what it asks for. A rough week changes your training instead of ending it.

YOUR INJURIES STAY ON THIS PHONE

The body map, your pain notes and the routine you imported live on your device, not on a server. Anonymous usage analytics and crash reports are the only things that ever leave, and Profile has a switch that turns those off too.

WHAT IT DOESN'T DO

No account. No sign-up. No email address.

Kingtide is not medical advice and is not a substitute for a doctor or a physical therapist. If something is genuinely injured, go and see one.

FREE AND PRO

Fourteen full workouts free. Your plan and your logged history stay yours either way. Kingtide Pro removes the session limit and keeps the plan adapting for as long as you train.

Kingtide Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, offered monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

### 5/5 — Skills

*2026-09-02*

I enjoyed the little demos of each exercises plus learning new workouts. I was frustrated with the repetition of asking me for  similar info at the beginnings of the workouts.

### 5/5 — Refreshing take on working out

*2026-09-01*

I’ve downloaded many workout apps, but none like this one. The videos and rehab options are useful, but what stands out is the most is the no-judgment approach. It encourages you to keep moving even if that means doing less or skipping certain things all together.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2026-08-31*

I’ve been really loving Kingtide. It makes it so much easier to stay consistent with my workouts and actually keep track of everything I’m doing. I especially love that it takes into account injuries, PT, and things my body has been dealing with instead of making me feel like I need to stop working out completely. It’s helped me stay accountable while also being more mindful of what my body needs. If you’re trying to get more consistent with your health and fitness I would definitely recommend giving this app a try!

### 5/5 — A Smarter Way to Stay Active

*2026-08-31*

I really like the approach Kingtide takes to fitness. Instead of feeling like you have to stop training completely when something hurts, the app helps you adapt your workouts and keep moving. It’s simple to use, practical, and takes a lot of the guesswork out of figuring out what you can safely work on. Great concept for anyone who wants to stay consistent with their fitness even when their body isn’t at 100%.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-10-10

New app icon: a barbell in the tide. The Add your name buttons are bigger and easier to tap.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-30

New: share cards. When a lift is back to full weight or you hit a new top set, tap Share this on the recap to post it, over your own gym photo if you like. You can share your week from the Today screen too.

Smarter weight increases. Reps now climb through a range before the weight goes up, and one tired set no longer lowers your next target.

Plus clearer camera prompts, and links on the add-your-routine screen that are easier to tap.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-26

New: Your body. One body shows what you trained lately and where you're training around pain. It's on your home screen now.

Setup is quicker. A lift you type is kept even if you don't pick a match, Start over clears your answers, and you can start Day 1 straight from your week.

Swipe left to remove an exercise, hold to move it. Each day has a weight slider. The recap shows where your sets went, and 45 or 60 minutes at check-in now trims the session.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-22

Log every set, and when something hurts the plan works around it. This update: a day you import keeps its own name, so your Pull Grip day stays Pull Grip. Plyometrics can go before lifting, with intervals as a cardio pick and four more jumps to draw on. The build screen says back what you told it, the body map reacts when you tap it, and every choice in setup gives a tick. Plus small fixes to the week screen on smaller phones.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-09-17

Onboarding is one screen shorter. The question about exercises from a physio is no longer a step you pass through. It is a link at the foot of the routine screen, so you open it only if you have a sheet to add.

Two reminders in the first week after you set up. Both are scheduled on your phone and nothing is sent from a server.

Swapping or adding a lift during a session now asks first when that lift is already in today's session, instead of running it twice.
