About

Recomp

Read full description

Recomp is a body composition tracker built for people who train — not people who want an AI to train them. Track your waist, weight, body fat, meals, workouts, and mood. See how your habits correlate with your body's response over time. No AI deciding what you should eat. No cloud storing your data. Just your numbers, your patterns, your progress. WHAT MAKES RECOMP DIFFERENT Most fitness apps use AI as a black box — telling you what to do without explaining why. Recomp takes the opposite approach: it shows you the signal in your own data and lets you make the decisions. Body recomposition tracking — see your waist drop while your weight stays flat Correlation detection — the app finds patterns between your habits and your body's response HealthKit integration — overlay exercise minutes and active energy on your progress charts Simple workout logging — log a session in seconds, not minutes Meal adherence tracking — no calorie counting, just on-plan or off-plan Mood tracking — because stress affects your body too YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No accounts. No cloud sync. No analytics. No ads. No tracking. Recomp makes zero network requests. Your health data never leaves your iPhone. Built for experienced lifters who know what they're doing and just need a clean, honest tool to track the process. Real data. No hallucinations.
