Hybrid Native is a local-first training log for athletes who train across strength, running, and HYROX-style conditioning. You bring the program. Hybrid Native keeps the logbook fast, private, and complete. It is an instrument, not a coach. Strength logging: exercise picker, barbell and sled plate math, rest timer, PRs by absolute load, and Brzycki estimates. Log a normal strength set in under 30 seconds once your exercise is selected. Running: steady-state and intervals, distance, duration, pace, shoes with mileage, VDOT-derived pace ranges, and mixed mile/kilometer history handled correctly. Import a supported Apple Health run in under 60 seconds. HYROX: station-friendly logging for sled, sandbag, row, ski, and burpees, plus race planning, run-compromised projections, station splits, and pace tools from your own logged volume. Body: body measurements and an anatomical muscle loading map that shows where tension is accumulating from recent logged work. Apple ecosystem: Apple Health workout import, Apple Watch companion controls for active workouts, user-controlled backup/export files, Home Screen widget, and Polish language support. Data ownership: core training data is stored locally on device in SQLite. Backup, export, restore, and import are user initiated. No required account, no app cloud, no social feed, no advertising tracker. What it is not: not a coach, not a plan engine, not a recommendation system, not a subscription. For athletes who already know how to train and want a log that keeps up.
