You train, but you can't tell if it's enough. GainBlocks makes it countable. Every muscle gets a weekly target in hard sets. Every hard set you log fills one block. Fill your board before Monday, on whatever days you train. A READY SESSION EVERY TIME Open the app and start the next session. GainBlocks builds your week from the days you train: full body, upper and lower, or push, pull and legs. Same lifts in the same order, with sets, weight and reps, so you can beat last time. NO FIXED DAYS TO FALL BEHIND ON A session is never tied to a weekday and there are no missed workouts. Just blocks still open. Train Tuesday and Saturday or five days straight; the board keeps score either way. A TARGET FOR EVERY MUSCLE Tell it how often you train and which muscles you want to bring up. GainBlocks sets a weekly number for chest, back, shoulders, arms, legs and abs, with extra work where you asked for it. ONE SET CAN FILL MORE THAN ONE ROW A bench press fills a chest block and adds half a block to shoulders and triceps. You see where your week is ahead and where it is behind. IT REMEMBERS YOUR NUMBERS Open an exercise and you see what you did last time and what to take today. Beat it and the next target moves up. LOCK IN BEFORE EVERY SET Hold to lock in, then give the set everything. Log your reps, say how much you had left, and the block lands. OR DO YOUR OWN THING Tap any muscle on the board and train that instead. It all counts. Short on time? Say how long you have and GainBlocks lines up the exercises that close the biggest gaps. RECORDS GET THEIR MOMENT A new best gets a plate slam and your number in yellow. No ads. No social feed. Your training data stays in your account. SUBSCRIPTION GainBlocks offers an auto-renewable subscription with a 7-day free trial.

The first pedal stroke into the morning. The climb that just won't end. And that one moment at the top, when everything clicks. Cycling is more than distance, speed and elevation – it's passion, and every ride tells its own story. That passion is exactly why Kavvamos exists. Not an app full of confusing numbers, but one that shows you right after the ride what it gave you – clearly and simply. So you stay motivated, keep improving and truly savour every ride. Kavvamos is your bike computer and your analysis hub for cycling data. You can record your ride directly with your iPhone – even without any extra hardware. The iPhone alone gives you the key ride data: distance, time, speed and route. Kavvamos gets even more meaningful with additional data sources: power meter, heart-rate strap, cadence sensor, Apple Health (e.g. data from your Apple Watch) or FIT files from other apps, bike computers and e-bike systems. Several recordings come together into one clear picture of your ride and your performance. You decide how to use Kavvamos: - as a simple bike computer right on your iPhone - as an analysis app for imported FIT files - as a central hub for data from sensors, Apple Health (e.g. Apple Watch data) and other tools If you don't have a separate power meter, you can also bring in power data from compatible e-bike apps or manufacturer tools, as long as they export a FIT file. Kavvamos brings your existing data together and shows you, in plain terms, what your ride means. And above all: simple. You understand your numbers instead of fighting through complicated tables. Every analysis is clearly laid out, and many metrics are briefly explained right in the app – ideal for beginners and ambitious riders alike. ACCURATE ELEVATION Elevation from your iPhone's barometer, using a method calibrated against several bike computers. If an imported ride has no elevation data of its own, a worldwide terrain model steps in as a fallback. PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS - Best-power curve (MMP) from 5 s to 60 min - Normalized Power, Intensity Factor, TSS, Variability Index - Critical Power and Wβ€² from your best efforts - Power zones Z1–Z7, Wβ€²bal over time, aerobic decoupling - Heart-rate zones, cadence over time, VAM - Efficiency factor and fitness trend (CTL/ATL/TSB) EXPLAINED CLEARLY Every analysis card has an info icon with a short, clear explanation. So you learn what the numbers mean as you go. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU Your rides are stored locally on your iPhone. No ad tracking, no forced cloud, no ads. For elevation, Kavvamos may load terrain data without transmitting your route or identity. Kavvamos reads Apple Health data only with your explicit consent and uses it solely to analyse your rides – never for advertising or tracking. IMPORT & EXPORT - Import FIT files – and fill in missing channels such as power, heart rate or cadence afterwards - Apple Health: heart rate, weight and workouts, for example from your Apple Watch - Export as FIT, GPX, Markdown report and period reports OVERVIEW Today screen, weekly overview, monthly calendar, personal records, streaks and weekly goals. Made for road, gravel and MTB – for everyone who wants not just to store their rides, but to truly understand them. KAVVAMOS PRO Try it free for 7 days, after which a subscription is required.
