Gainly - Workout Planner & Calorie Tracker Train hard and eat with intention. Gainly brings your workouts and your nutrition into a single app, so you see the whole picture of your progress instead of half of it. Whether you are lifting for the first time or chasing a new personal record, Gainly gives you the tools to plan, log and improve. NEW - LOG A MEAL IN SECONDS Snap a photo of your plate and Gainly reads it for you, estimating calories, protein, carbs and fat. No barcodes to hunt down, no endless food database to search. Photo or words: Take a picture of your meal, pick one from your library, or simply describe what you ate in your own words. Item by item: See every component of the meal with its own weight and macros, not just one lump total. Refine the estimate: Answer a couple of quick questions about portion size and preparation, and the numbers update to match. You have the final say: Edit any value by hand before it is logged. Daily calorie target: Set your own daily calorie limit and see what is left as you log. Gainly can suggest a starting number from your height, weight, target weight and activity level, and you can change it to anything you like. Meal history: Every meal you log is saved with its photo, so you can look back at exactly what a good week looked like. KEY FEATURES Customizable Workouts: Create personalized workout templates or use templates shared by friends via share code. Choose from hundreds of predefined exercises to tailor your routine. Quick Workouts: Start a workout on the go. Add exercises and sets, adjust reps and weight values, and complete or skip sets as needed. Training Plan: Plan your week with ease. Assign default or custom templates to specific days, set rest days, and see your training and your calories together on the main screen calendar. Detailed Insights: Track your progress with detailed insights on weight, measurements and exercise performance. Gainly records your reps, weight and other metrics to provide comprehensive analytics. Goals and Levels: Set and achieve your fitness goals with Gainly's level system. Define your current level and set goals for each exercise. Track your progress and strive to reach the next level. Progress Tracking: Monitor your performance with graphs and charts. Gain insights into your progress for specific exercises, such as bench press, and see how far you have come. Community and Sharing: Connect with friends, share your workout templates, and motivate each other to stay on track. User-Friendly Interface: Gainly's intuitive design ensures that you can easily navigate through the app and access all its powerful features. WHY CHOOSE GAINLY? Gainly is a tracker, not a coach. It does not tell you what to eat and it does not promise you a result. What it gives you is an honest record of what you lifted and what you ate, in one place, so your decisions are based on real numbers instead of guesswork. Cutting, bulking or maintaining, the picture is yours to read. GAINLY PRO Gainly is free to use, with 3 AI meal scans a day, 3 workout templates and 1 active goal. Gainly PRO lifts the limits: unlimited meal scans and logs, unlimited templates, unlimited goals, and advanced statistics and insights. Download Gainly and start keeping track.
