Log a set, close the app. That's it. Sportiary is a workout log for the pull-up bar, the dip bars and the floor of your room. Open it, type "20 push-ups", close. Five seconds, no onboarding, no goal picker, no paywall. I built it because I was tired of fitness apps where the "+1 set" button sits behind three screens. I just needed somewhere to type in how many pull-ups I did, or how long I held the plank. No meal plans, no step counter, no database of a thousand exercises. Just the 20 that matter: push-ups, pull-ups, dips, abs, squats, lunges, burpees, supermans, wall sits, handstands, three plank variations, running and cycling. Plus the gym basics: bench press, deadlift, barbell squat, overhead press and barbell row. HOW IT WORKS Open the app → pick push-ups → tap a preset number or type your own → close. No mandatory timers, no plans, no setup screens. WHAT'S INSIDE • Sets by reps, by time (seconds), by distance (meters) or by weight (kg Ɨ reps) • Workout calendar — your whole history, day by day • Personal records for every exercise • Day streaks — one missed day a week is frozen and doesn't break the streak • 77 achievements in six categories, 20 of them secret • Weekly activity chart, so you can see where the load dropped • iCloud sync: new phone, same history • Reminders and 12 Home Screen icons to choose from • 12 languages, switchable inside the app • Free. No workout limit, no ads, no subscriptions, no sign-up Sportiary won't teach you how to train and won't send you motivational quotes. It just remembers every set, so next week you can do a little more than this week.
