Joti

Read full description

Joti is a flexible, fast workout tracker built for every kind of training — from heavy barbell sessions in the gym to simple dumbbell or bodyweight workouts at home, to guided shadow‑boxing rounds you can follow along with. Log your training with the exact equipment you use, track your progress over time, and stay consistent with a clean, intuitive interface designed for real people who actually train. TRACK YOUR WORKOUTS Record sets, reps, weight, and notes for every exercise — including warmup, drop, and failure sets. Plan and log supersets and giant sets, and set a starting weight on planned workouts so you're ready to go. Review your full training history and see how your strength and consistency improve over time, with muscle radar and heatmap charts to show exactly where your training is landing. GUIDED ROUNDS Train striking with live, voice‑guided rounds. Joti calls out punches, kicks, elbows, knees, and footwork across timed rounds so you can shadow‑box along — no partner or coach needed. Go fully randomised for combinations you can't predict, start from a pre‑built template, or define exactly what you want, round by round. Choose your style — Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, or Traditional Martial Arts — set your pace, and let the app keep time while you move. TRACK YOUR BODY Log body measurements over time and capture before‑and‑after photos, then compare them side‑by‑side or with a wipe slider to see your progress at a glance. Sync logged weight and body fat percentage with Apple Health so everything stays in one place. TRAIN WITH YOUR HEALTH DATA Connect Apple Health to read your step count and heart rate, see progress against your daily step goal, and get a more accurate estimate of energy expenditure for every session. See live heart rate right on screen while you train, with rest timers that adjust to your heart‑rate recovery. APPLE WATCH Check your workout at a glance from your wrist. REAL EQUIPMENT, REAL NUMBERS Add your actual barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, and plates — Joti remembers what you have and calculates true loadable weight. A built‑in plate calculator, with a clearer breakdown of exactly what it's showing you, ensures you always know exactly what goes on the bar. BUILD YOUR OWN SETUP Use the built‑in exercise library or create custom exercises and equipment that match your gym or home setup. Ask AI to suggest exercises or complete workouts and expand your training options instantly. Search by workout type to find exactly the session you're after. WORKOUT TEMPLATES Create reusable templates so you can start sessions quickly, and organise everything into folders once your library grows. No more rebuilding your routine every time — just tap and train. STAY CONSISTENT Get reminder notifications for planned workouts, see your full exercise list before and during a session, and sign up in seconds with Sign in with Apple — your email verifies automatically, no code needed. AI‑POWERED INSIGHTS Get smart, personalized insights into your training patterns, progress trends, and areas to focus on next — now shaped by how you're feeling: a quick pre‑workout check‑in, post‑workout effort rating, and recent sleep all feed into each insight. CONNECT YOUR FAVOURITE AI ASSISTANT Sign in to Joti from Claude, ChatGPT, or other compatible AI tools and let them work with your real training data — pull your stats and history, build or duplicate a workout, and manage your training calendar, all through natural conversation. Every AI‑made change is logged, badged, and one‑tap undoable. DESIGNED FOR REAL TRAINING A fast, mobile‑first interface for logging between sets, not fighting slow menus.
