Kinetic is the workout tracker built for lifters who care about progressive overload. Log sets, track weight and reps, and see exactly whether you're getting stronger โ session over session. Logging is free, for good: every set, every weigh-in, your whole history. Kinetic Pro adds workouts built for you, deep stats, more goals, and unlimited set video. YOUR PLAN, BUILT IN 60 SECONDS Answer six questions when you sign up โ what you're training for, how experienced you are, how many days a week, what you want to focus on โ and Kinetic builds you a real training plan. Rep ranges, rest times, working sets, and a monthly target, all set to what you actually want out of the gym. KNOW WHAT TO DO ON EVERY SET Every exercise card tells you the rep range to aim for and how long to rest, straight from your plan. Building muscle? 8โ10 reps on heavy sets, 3 minutes rest. Getting stronger? Heavy triples with longer rest. Losing fat? Higher reps, short rest. Tag a set heavy, medium, or light and the targets adjust instantly. A REST TIMER THAT ACTUALLY WORKS Check off a set and the rest clock starts itself at the length your plan calls for. Pocket your phone โ the timer keeps correct time and notifies you when it's time for the next set. No more guessing whether it's been 90 seconds or four minutes. LOG A SET IN ONE TAP Kinetic remembers your last session. Every set is prefilled from what you did before โ hit the checkmark to repeat it, or tap the previous numbers to copy them in. Plus and minus buttons step weight in real plate increments, so most sets never open the keyboard at all. SET GOALS AND ACTUALLY HIT THEM 50 push-ups a day. 25 pull-ups a week. 12 training days this month. Set a target and Kinetic scores it automatically from the sets you already log โ nothing to check off, nothing to maintain. Progress rings on your dashboard show exactly where you stand. FIND ANY EXERCISE INSTANTLY 280+ exercises across every muscle group, with smart search that understands shorthand โ type "db bench", "rdl", or "ohp" and Kinetic knows what you mean. Missing something? Create your own custom exercise in seconds. WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Basement gym? No problem. Kinetic keeps working offline and syncs your workout automatically when you're back online. Your data is never lost. PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD TRACKING Kinetic compares your current session against your last one and shows directional indicators for every set โ so you always know if you're progressing. FILM YOUR SETS Record a set with your phone and the clip stays attached to the set it belongs to. Check your depth, your bar path, or your lockout against the numbers you actually logged. Video is kept on your device. FOOD AND NUTRITION Log meals by weight, search a curated catalogue or millions of packaged products, or point the camera at a nutrition label and Kinetic reads the packet โ on your phone, with nothing uploaded. Type "3 eggs and 200g rice" and it logs all of it. PRIVATE AND SECURE Sign in with Apple. Your workouts sync privately to your own account โ and only yours. STATS & PERSONAL RECORDS Track total volume, workout streaks, muscle group breakdown, and all-time personal records with custom-built charts.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Kinetic at every 3 months against Kinect Performance's every 16 months. Kinect Performance's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
