Share a simple checkmark summary of your week for free. Kinetic Pro adds detailed messages, week files and report links, with the training details you choose to include. CONNECT YOUR OWN AI (KINETIC PRO) Kinetic works with any AI app that supports MCP connectors. Your AI can read only the training and nutrition data you choose, suggest training plans and meal plans for your review, and if you allow it log meals and add to your shopping list. Stored encrypted, and you can revoke access anytime. Training plans and meal plans always need your approval. Meal logging and shopping-list additions can apply automatically only if you allow it for that connection, with Undo available. Optional notifications tell you when your AI has something ready to review. Notification messages never contain your data.

Follow live heart rate and zone guidance during running, walking, cycling, rowing, Stair Master, HIIT, strength and custom workouts. Use Apple Watch or a compatible Bluetooth heart-rate monitor.

Create strength workouts, log sets, reps and load, use rest timers, and track your progress. Kinetic Pro also includes the AI Workout Builder. APPLE WATCH Start, track and finish workouts from your wrist. Follow plans already synced to your watch, even without your phone nearby, and sync completed details back when connectivity returns. See live BPM, zones, calories and distance, with complications for quick access. FUEL YOUR TRAINING Log meals and follow daily calories and macros. With Kinetic Pro, scan a meal or nutrition label for an AI nutrition estimate, and create meal plans and shopping lists. Estimates are not medical or nutritional advice. YOGA, PILATES AND RECOVERY Choose guided sessions or timers for yoga, Pilates and stretching, alongside breathing and rest days in your training week. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Review workout history, training trends and personal records. Follow daily steps and activity totals, set a step target, and track optional body-weight progress through Apple Health.
