## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.5 — 2026-10-07

Runs count for more
• Start a run from the Today tab. A Run or Ride day opens the GPS screen in one tap.
• Kobu saves what you actually ran: your real distance and your kilometre splits. It no longer saves only the planned distance.
• Trends now shows your weekly distance and your best efforts, including your fastest 5 km.
• Runs and rides now count toward muscle recovery, and they now show in the weekly load bars.
• Runs from Apple Health that do not match a planned day are saved as their own session. They no longer disappear.
• Cardio days now show their distance instead of sets.

A cleaner exercise library
• 90 new exercise demos, for example Overhead Press variations, upright rows, shrugs, curls and stretches.
• We removed 145 repeated exercises. "Dumbbell Fly" and "Dumbbell Flyes" are now one exercise. You can still search for every old name, and the list shows "Also called" under the exercise.
• Your saved workouts and history keep their exercise names and their demos.

Fixes and improvements
• General stability and performance improvements.

### 2.4 — 2026-09-23

Run with Kobu
• Start a run or a ride from the Today tab. Kobu tracks distance and pace with GPS, speaks each kilometre, and shows the run on your Lock Screen.
• New "Start an activity" button on Today: run, ride, row, other cardio, or an empty workout, on any day.
• Add a run, ride or row day to any routine, not only the Hybrid split.
• Rows and cardio sessions now save to Apple Health as the right activity.

Train for your sport
• Tell Kobu your sport: track and field, swimming, rowing, cycling, or a team sport. Change it any time in Preferences → Training.
• Log a practice session (a track session, a swim, or a match) with its duration and effort. It counts toward your weekly training load.
• New sport programmes: a gym week built around your sport, with separate plans for sprinters, distance runners and throwers.
• Practice days show on Today and on Apple Watch.

Lifting
• Olympic lifts have their own Power section in the exercise picker, and the load chart gives them the weight they deserve.
• 26 new exercise demos.

### 2.2 — 2026-08-31

Removed Duplicate exercises
Added leaderboard

### 2.1 — 2026-08-30

• New name and a new mark on your home screen
• Same app and same data — nothing to move, nothing to sign in to
• Today tab: recovery, training load, sleep, and muscle freshness on one screen
• Start today's session with one tap

Lift. Run. Progress.
