Read full descriptionHide full description
Ranik is the calisthenics fitness test — a clear, honest benchmark of where you actually stand. Run one guided test across the six pillars of bodyweight strength: push, pull, legs, core, static holds and mobility. Ranik turns your numbers into a Level from 1 to 10 and a radar profile that shows your real strengths and weak links at a glance. THE TEST • A short guided benchmark: max push-ups, pull-ups, rows, squats, hanging knee raises, dead hang, L-sit, handstand hold and more • Simple in-app inputs — tap to count reps, a stopwatch for holds • Your Level, your radar profile, and a shareable score-card HONEST BY DESIGN • Every standard is tied to a named, citable source • Percentiles are framed as estimates relative to our reference standards — never a fake ranking against everyone • A performance benchmark, not a health assessment TRAIN YOUR LEVEL • Weekly programs matched to your result, built on progressions (incline → standard → decline → archer push-ups, and so on) • Re-test every few weeks and watch your radar grow BUILT RIGHT • No ads, ever • No account, no sign-up — open it and test • Works offline; all data stays on your device Ranik is in early access — every program is unlocked right now. Ranik offers general fitness benchmarking and training guidance and is not a medical product.

The clearest difference is ads: Ranik at none against BarBase's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
