I made this because too many workout apps seemed to expect a full performance review every time I exercised. Some days I want detailed stats. Most days I just want to mark that I worked out and get on with my life. That's what I made this for. If you exercised, log the day and what you did. If you missed a day, that's fine. Open the calendar again tomorrow. Tap a day to log an exercise or two and see how close you are to your yearly goal. As you log more, the app starts suggesting the activities you usually do, so most days take a couple of taps. If you already track workouts on your Apple Watch or in another app, they can show up here on their own. Turn on Apple Health in settings and the days you exercised appear in the calendar, counting toward your yearly goal, without retyping anything. It only reads from Health, and everything still stays on your iPhone. It's simple, but it still covers the basics. Open a logged day to review or edit it, add another exercise, jot down a short note, or delete it if you tapped the wrong day. You can log one exercise or several in the same session, and activities from your own history show up as soon as you start typing. The suggestions adapt to you. Your most common activity for that weekday is filled in automatically, familiar exercises sit underneath, and anything you haven't done in a few months drifts down the list. Mostly the calendar just lets you see how you're doing. If streaks keep you going, they're right there. If they don't, ignore them. The idea isn't to be perfect, it's to make it easy to keep track and easy to come back. I originally built it because my employer helped pay for workouts and wanted to see what I'd been doing. They no longer check, but I kept using it. Turns out it's just satisfying to watch the streaks build up on a quiet calendar. Everything stays deliberately simple: • Tap any day to log a workout in seconds • View and edit logged workouts instead of deleting them by accident • Log several exercises for the same day • Add a short note when you want the context • Get weekday suggestions based on what you usually do • Have your most common exercise filled in automatically • Autocomplete from your own history • Bring in workouts from Apple Health and Apple Watch automatically • Choose which Apple Health workout types count, and turn off the ones that aren't exercise to you • Let suggestions shift as your routine changes • Set a yearly goal from 1 to 365 workouts • See your progress fill a circular ring • Spot your rhythm and streaks in the calendar • Browse a clean month view and jump back to the current month anytime • Find today and your logged days at a glance • Generate a plain annual summary and share it • No account, no feed, no complicated setup • Your data stays on your iPhone It's a small exercise log from a solo developer who wanted a simpler, kinder way to keep track. No hype, and no pressure to turn into someone else.

A pood is the old Russian unit of weight — the native language of kettlebells. A 16 kg bell is one pood; a 32 kg bell is two. Pood is the tracker for people who take kettlebell training seriously — whatever unit their bells are stamped in. Most kettlebell apps are workout-video libraries with a rep counter bolted on. Pood is the opposite: tracking first. Log sets one-handed mid-session, watch your volume build across months, and follow structured minimalist programs without the bloat. LOG WITHOUT FRICTION • Giant one-handed controls — your other hand is holding a bell • Reps, sets, left/right sides, and the exact bell you used • Rest timer with a quiet haptic pulse • Session summary with a clean shareable card SEE YOUR STRENGTH ADD UP • Cumulative poods lifted — lifetime training volume in the unit that started it all • Every number in your unit, totals included: kilograms, pounds, or poods, your choice • Volume trends, personal records, session density, streaks • Interactive charts you can scrub FOLLOW A PROGRAM, NOT A FEED • Daily Minimalist: the classic hundred swings and ten get-ups, free • Press Ladders, Two-Bell Builder, the 10,000 Swing Challenge, Snatch Foundations • Enroll once and the home screen knows your next session YOURS, LOCALLY • No account, no feed, no ads • Works fully offline — your data stays on your device • Saves finished workouts to Apple Health • Log in kg, lb, or poods — switch anytime, everything converts, always free The free tier is complete: unlimited logging, your full history, a full daily program, and core progress charts. Premium adds the complete analytics suite and every program — $3.99/month, $34.99/year with a 7-day free trial, or $89.99 once. Bought the unlock in Kettlebell Tracker v1? Premium is yours for good. Pood — the original unit of strength. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://pood.fit/privacy/
