MOTIVATION ISN'T A TRAINING STRATEGY. If you're serious about getting stronger, you measure it. Progression turns every set into data that makes you stronger – logged in seconds, clearly visualized, no clutter. Motivation gets you training. Data gets you further.

How it works: • Build your own training plan – or pick a program • Log every set in seconds • Get automatic suggestions for when to increase the weight • Track your progress in clear charts Everything you need: • Templates for recurring workouts • Built-in rest timer • Full training history & personal records PROGRESSION PRO The core features are free for your first workouts – just get started.

TrekDex

TrekDex turns hiking into something you can actually finish. Browse thousands of parks, preserves, and wilderness areas, each with every trail mapped from open data. Pick one and TrekDex tracks which trails you've completed — so "hike the whole park" becomes a real, visible goal. RECORD YOUR HIKES Start a recording and TrekDex follows your route with GPS, on the map and in the background, then saves the path, distance, and elevation. TRACK EVERY TRAIL Completion is tracked per trail and per area. Finish a trail and it's marked done; watch an area climb toward 100%. Your progress lives on your device, no account required. SEE THE TERRAIN BEFORE YOU GO Every trail carries an elevation profile and a gain-based difficulty rating, and parking is shown for the trail you're eyeing so you know where to start. STATS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Distance, elevation, streaks, and badges — built from your real recordings. BUILT FOR THE OUTDOORS Works offline once an area is loaded. Imperial or metric. A clean map with only the pins that matter. TrekDex is free. An optional tip jar says thanks. It unlocks nothing. Trail data © OpenStreetMap contributors.
