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/

Built is the best way to track your strength training workouts. Our streamlined approach focuses on the three pillars of progressive overload: weight, reps, and time. By focusing on tracking your progress instead of complex diagrams that show you how to do a pushup, you can spend more time working out and less time clicking around. WHAT USERS SAY "Best app for tracking workouts and progress. I used to hit plateaus because I wasn't tracking reps and weight, now it's super easy for me to see what I did last week in order to progressively overload on each exercise." - Kevin R. "I've tried every workout app on the market and none of them are simple enough. I ended up going back to using a weightlifting journal with a pencil and paper. Finally I found Built and it's exactly what I wanted. It has the simplicity of a journal but it let's me track in a few clicks and spend more energy exercising." - Emma S. "When I'm in the gym, I just want to exercise. I've been working out for a decade and I don't want an app that teaches me what a squat is. I just want to enter what weights I do and move on. For that, Built is Perfect." - Adam R. FEATURES • Log your sets in 3 clicks or less with our sleek well-designed forms • No made up metrics. Just what matters. • Create an unlimited amount of exercises and routines • Beautiful pre-built visualizations that just focus on what's important: did you lift more weight and do more than last time? • The routine builder makes it easier to group exercises together • Easily answer questions like "When did I deadlift last?" or "What day of the week do I workout most?" or "When's the last time I skipped leg day?" with our calendar history views • Dark mode HOW IT WORKS Just press the big blue button on any screen and it will do what you want! It's that easy. Built includes a subscription that gives you all access to unlimited tracking, visualizations, and history. There are no ads on Built.
