You don't need a gym to get strong. BuildUp is a strength training tracker built for people who work out at home — whether you've got a full setup or just a pair of dumbbells and a backpack full of books. What makes it different: Tell the app what equipment you own — dumbbells, resistance bands, a pull-up bar, even household items like water jugs and towels — and it builds a complete training program around what you actually have. No guessing, no substituting exercises mid-workout. Features: • 130+ exercises with instructions, organized by muscle group and equipment • Smart workout generator that creates multi-day programs based on your gear • Track sets, reps, weight, and RPE for every exercise • Rest timer between sets with visual countdown • Progressive overload suggestions — the app tells you when you're ready to go heavier • Strength charts, volume tracking, and muscle group breakdowns • Weekly workout streaks to keep you consistent • 6 built-in programs: Beginner Full Body, Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, Bodyweight Only, Dumbbell Only, Home Gym • Create your own templates and organize them into folders • Import/export your data (Strong and Hevy compatible CSV) • Dark mode with a clean, focused interface Built for beginners, useful for everyone. BuildUp doesn't assume you know what you're doing — it suggests starting weights, explains every exercise, and nudges you forward without being pushy. But if you're experienced and just want a fast, clean tracker, it stays out of your way. No ads. No social feeds. Just you and your workout. Optional Premium adds the workout generator, full progress history, custom templates, and CSV export. Annual plan starts with a 7-day free trial — monthly is $3.99, annual is $29.99.
