I didn't really like the other fitness tracking apps out there, plus most of them are subscription based. Like, come on I'm not paying 10 bucks a month so I can log my workouts in a glorified spreadsheet. I vibe coded this for personal use but figured other people might find it useful. Simple, good at what it does, and visually pretty. This is my solution to tracking my climbing journey :) Features: - Log a session in one tap — open the calendar, tap the day, choose a type. - Build your own day types with custom colors — Gym, Outdoor, Lead, Board, Rest, whatever fits your use case. - Add tags to any type — track specific gyms, crags, or projects in a more detailed view in the stats page. - Log variety days — combine multiple types on a single day with a long press. - See your year at a glance — a clean donut chart breaks down your sessions. - Write session notes — jot how a session felt or what you sent. - A little celebration — a confetti burst when you log a session.
