Gym tracker and workout log built by a lifter, for lifters. Unlimited routines and workouts, your full history forever, no ads, no paywall spam. My mission is to deliver a workout log app that will help you make progress, build strength, and ensure hypertrophy, all that for free. I will never change a free feature to a paid one, spam the paywall, limit routines or workout logs, etc. (all the bad stuff other workout trackers do). What sets Strive apart: - Create unlimited workout routines, most trackers paywall this - Your full history, forever - every workout, set and chart since day one, no history limit. During a workout tap any exercise to see its history and your previous numbers - Your data stays yours - stored on your phone, backed up to iCloud, and you can create a manual backup anytime - Workout plans: 33 ready-made programs (nSuns, PHUL, Reddit PPL, 5x5, Arnold Split and more), a plan creator that builds a plan for you from a short survey, or your own plan with workouts assigned to days or in order - Plan summary - when a plan ends you get a progress analysis and recommendations - Automatic progression - turn it on in a routine and the app raises the weight or reps for the next workout, advanced rules are still there for the nerds - Automatic warmup sets, per exercise - RIR/RPE tracking with effective reps metric - Advanced charts, analyze routine, body part or exercise progress - Personal records and estimated 1RM for every exercise - Progress photos, compare them side by side - Measurements and body proportions, see how you compare to ideal ranges - Rest timer per exercise or per routine, visible on the lock screen - Home screen widgets and a personalizable dashboard, choose from many widgets in various sizes and have all the data at a glance - Plate calculator with your own plates and bars - Gear - assign straps, belts or sleeves to routines and never forget them again - Placeholder exercise - pick a category or body part and choose the actual exercise during the workout, based on how you feel or what's free at the gym - Custom keyboard to input workout data frictionlessly, copy values from the previous set, set a value for all sets, increment and decrement - Apple Health sync - import cardio and bodyweight, send your workouts to Health - Share workouts and routines with friends or followers, cardio share cards with your GPS route - PT report - send your coach a clean summary of your training - Mark workouts as deloads to better understand and analyze the data - Fully offline - I know some gyms have poor reception - Wrapped, see your year in review at the end of the year - Themes & theme creator - No ads, no selling your data, no tracking across apps Rest of the features that you would expect: - Exercise database with 335 exercises, animations and technique tips - Notes - All set types: warmup, dropset, myo reps etc. - Workout finish reminder - never again open the app to see that you have not saved the previous workout - Plan workout reminders - Dark mode I hope my app will help you achieve your goals, in general, just progress and get better. I promise to develop this app until it is your favorite gym log and workout tracker app. Remember, we all are gonna make it! Your gym bro, Artur. _________________________________________ Terms of Use: https://strive-workout.com/terms-conditions/ Privacy Policy: https://strive-workout.com/privacy-policy/
Burpees Buddy

Turn every burpee into a win with Burpees Buddy — your smart burpee counter, motion coach, goal tracker, and workout hype partner. Place your phone on a stable surface, step into view, and start moving. Burpees Buddy uses on-device body tracking to follow your movement, count completed reps, show your progress, and keep your workout flowing without tapping the screen after every burpee. Whether you are doing a quick home workout, a HIIT finisher, a cardio challenge, a bodyweight circuit, or a full burpee training session, Burpees Buddy helps you stay focused while the app handles the counting. WHY BURPEES? Burpees are a powerful full-body bodyweight exercise. One movement can challenge your legs, glutes, core, chest, shoulders, arms, balance, coordination, and cardiovascular fitness. They can help build stamina, improve work capacity, raise your heart rate, and make short workouts feel seriously effective. No gym. No equipment. Just space to move and the motivation to start. SMART BURPEE COUNTER No more losing count halfway through a hard set. Burpees Buddy watches for the main stages of a burpee — moving down, reaching the floor phase, and returning toward standing — so completed reps can be counted automatically. The app is designed to support different styles, including classic burpees, modified burpees, no-jump burpees, plank burpees, and push-up burpees. The experience focuses on meaningful movement rather than forcing every user into one identical form. LIVE MOTION COACH See a live body map and animated avatar respond to your movement. Watch your shoulders, arms, hips, knees, and legs move on screen while you train. SET REAL GOALS Create targets that match your fitness journey: • Session target • Daily burpee goal • Weekly burpee goal • Monthly burpee goal • Long-term target with a deadline See completed burpees, remaining reps, target percentage, days left, required daily pace, projected completion, current streak, longest streak, active days, and lifetime total. This is not just a rep counter. It is a burpee challenge tracker built to help you stay consistent. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Review your: • Total burpees • Workout time • Burpees per minute • Daily, weekly, and monthly totals • Best workout • Current and longest streak • Active workout days • Target status • Pace history • Lifetime progress Small sessions add up. Five burpees today can become fifty this week. One streak can become a habit. STAY MOTIVATED Choose your coaching style, enable voice counting, adjust haptics, select premium rep sounds, and get motivational cues while you move. Want calm energy? Choose steady coaching. Want gym-mode hype? Pick energetic motivation. Want pure focus? Use focused coaching. You control the vibe. SHARE THE WIN Create a premium workout poster with your rep count, workout time, pace, goals, streaks, progress, personal best, and challenge message. Share your burpee challenge with friends, post your progress, or save it as motivation for your next session. BUILT FOR HOME FITNESS, HIIT, AND BODYWEIGHT TRAINING Burpees Buddy is ideal for home workouts, HIIT training, cardio workouts, bodyweight fitness, conditioning circuits, fitness challenges, daily exercise goals, no-equipment workouts, quick workout routines, burpee competitions, and personal training motivation. PRIVACY-FIRST MOTION TRACKING Body movement is analyzed using on-device technology. The camera helps detect movement and count reps without requiring a wearable or manual tapping. READY TO START? Set your phone down. Step back. Press Start Workout. Own your reps. Train harder. Track smarter. Build your streak. Crush your burpee goals with Burpees Buddy.
