You know what needs to be done for your body, and an app shouldn't make it difficult FAST Tracking your progress should be fast. In fact, Strongify does it in a few taps only! Are you going to the gym to look at your workout app? We don't think so! That's why Strongify will remember the last weight and reps you entered, which makes adding a workout fast and convenient. Focus on the gains; we take care of the rest. STAY MOTIVATED Check your progress over time with our charts. Nothing is more motivating than seeing your own improvement. Every time you go to the gym, you will know how well you performed last time. Outperform yourself week after week. SHARE YOUR SUCCESSES Share your workout with your social networks. You can also directly add them to your Instagram Story! We think you should be proud of what you accomplish (especially if you broke your previous bench press max weight). Share that with style with our different cards: - Total volume lifted - Best set - Progress over time - Reps Only - Duration TIME-BASED EXERCISES You can also track your planks, stretching exercises, or yoga sessions. CALENDAR Another way to get motivated is to see how often you've worked out this week or month. We included a calendar that shows exactly that. You can quickly overview your past workouts and see exactly what exercises you performed on a specific day. THEMES Everyone has different tastes, we are totally fine if you don't like the default theme. That's why we included others. Prefer pink? Maybe black? We've got you covered!

OutRun is a private GPS tracking app that allows you to record and analyze your workouts. Despite its name, it supports not just running, but also cycling, walking, hiking and skating. What makes OutRun different from other apps is that you stay in full control of your data. Workouts are recorded locally and never leave your device unless you want them to. This approach protects them from data leaks and ensures they can never be sold. In addition, OutRun is built with a clean and modern look that feels at home on iOS. The app is free and does not contain any ads or tracking frameworks. Since OutRun is also open source, you do not even have to take my word for it: feel free to check the source code. KEY FEATURES - Keep full control over your data: everything stays on your device, without accounts, ads or tracking - Record your outdoor GPS workouts (Running, Walking, Hiking, Cycling and Skating) - Follow an active recording on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island with Live Activities - View detailed statistics, charts and maps of your routes - Browse your workouts in a calendar and edit them afterwards - Sync with Apple Health in both directions - Export and import your workouts as GPX files or JSON backups - Customize the recording process and units I hope you love OutRun as much as I loved building it. If you find anything I should improve upon, please let me know. Tim, the developer.
