A pood is the old Russian unit of weight — the native language of kettlebells. A 16 kg bell is one pood; a 32 kg bell is two. Pood is the tracker for people who take kettlebell training seriously — whatever unit their bells are stamped in. Most kettlebell apps are workout-video libraries with a rep counter bolted on. Pood is the opposite: tracking first. Log sets one-handed mid-session, watch your volume build across months, and follow structured minimalist programs without the bloat. LOG WITHOUT FRICTION • Giant one-handed controls — your other hand is holding a bell • Reps, sets, left/right sides, and the exact bell you used • Rest timer with a quiet haptic pulse • Session summary with a clean shareable card SEE YOUR STRENGTH ADD UP • Cumulative poods lifted — lifetime training volume in the unit that started it all • Every number in your unit, totals included: kilograms, pounds, or poods, your choice • Volume trends, personal records, session density, streaks • Interactive charts you can scrub FOLLOW A PROGRAM, NOT A FEED • Daily Minimalist: the classic hundred swings and ten get-ups, free • Press Ladders, Two-Bell Builder, the 10,000 Swing Challenge, Snatch Foundations • Enroll once and the home screen knows your next session YOURS, LOCALLY • No account, no feed, no ads • Works fully offline — your data stays on your device • Saves finished workouts to Apple Health • Log in kg, lb, or poods — switch anytime, everything converts, always free The free tier is complete: unlimited logging, your full history, a full daily program, and core progress charts. Premium adds the complete analytics suite and every program — $3.99/month, $34.99/year with a 7-day free trial, or $89.99 once. Bought the unlock in Kettlebell Tracker v1? Premium is yours for good. Pood — the original unit of strength. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://pood.fit/privacy/

Overload was designed with one purpose in mind: to help you lift more. Stop forgetting previous sets, and keep track of your lifts and body weight exercises with a light-weight tool that doesn't get in the way. Add your workout group, add your workout, log your workout... that's it! We took the journal notes and spreadsheets we used to make and organized them digitally into Overload. And unlike your journal, the Overload app will let you know how you're doing compared to previous sets! Our goal was to create something simple that adapted to your workouts, and not the other way around. Disable/enable features and make the app work for you! Fully customizable, zero fluff. Lift. Log. Overload.
