A workout doesn't have to be a job, a personality, or a contest. When you were a kid, it was just fun: you saw a log in the woods and wondered if you could lift it, grabbed the dog and went for a hike, or raced to the park. That's what STRONK is built on. It doesn't care whether you lift 100 pounds or 1,000; walk a mile or ruck a marathon. You showed up, probably had fun, and hopefully did something worth telling your friends about. That's it. $4.99. ONCE. The going rate for a ruck tracker is $4.99 a month. This is $4.99, one time. Not a month. Not a year. Not ever again. Try everything free for 14 days; if you're in, it's one small payment, shareable with your family, yours forever. That's not a launch price. That's the point. (The tools underneath are real, though. Aggressively real.) LIFT Log sets fast, from your phone or your wrist, in type you can read from the bench without your glasses. Your last session sits next to this one, so you always know what you're trying to beat. No judgment when you don't. Supersets, because your time matters. Rest timers set to YOUR rest — 30 seconds or 5 minutes. STRONK doesn't lecture. RUCK Your other app calls a 35-lb ruck a walk. STRONK counts your body weight PLUS the weight on your back — and the formula is written out in plain English inside the app, so you can check our work. GPS routes, per-mile splits, elevation and heart rate, incline-aware treadmill rucks, and the weather you suffered through, on the record ("SWAMP MODE" is a real designation, earned). RUCK BUDDIES Tag which dogs came along (you know they're coming). They carried nothing. They get full credit anyway — name, photo, and all, right on the summary. Their pictures never leave your phone. RECEIPTS Every workout ends in a stat worth sharing: "1.5 WOOLLY MAMMOTHS." "741 CORGIS." "6.7 OSCAR STATUETTES, CARRIED A MILE." Lifetime totals that only go up. A calendar with no streaks and no guilt — just proof you showed up. History logs every exercise, set, rep, and mile (or kilometer) for posterity. NOTHING GETS LOST A finished workout is finished. It survives force-quits, dead batteries, and fat fingers. A save that fails says so instead of shrugging. The number on your wrist is the number in your history. Losing a session you actually did is the worst thing a tracker can do to you, and we build like we believe that. WHAT STRONK WILL NEVER DO No subscriptions. No ads. No streaks. No pep talks. No sweaty models. No fire emojis. APPLE STUFF, DONE PROPERLY Full Apple Watch app. Live Activities. HealthKit in and out — workouts, calories, routes, heart rate. Weather via WeatherKit. Photos picked privately, stored on-device. VoiceOver throughout. No account. No tracking. Your data is yours. And if you find the beta toggle in Settings... that's DASH. Race ya to the mailbox. Built in Minnesota by one guy, his wife, and two supervisory dogs. The feedback email is in Settings — it goes to an actual human, and fixes ship faster than you'd think.

About

Rucking Tracker

Features
Read full description

Loadline is a rucking tracker built around one number: what is on your back. Every other fitness app treats a loaded march as a walk. Loadline uses the Pandolf load-carriage equation, the standard for military load research, so calories reflect your body weight, your pack weight, your speed, the grade and the ground. A 35 lb ruck up a gravel hill is not a stroll, and your numbers should say so. • The load gauge. Your current pack as a share of body weight, always on screen, with the 10–20 % band most people train in marked on the rail. • The load ladder. Where you are and what the next step up weighs, so progression is a decision rather than a guess. • Presets and gear. Build packs from plates, rucksacks and water; pick one and Start. • Live tracking from iPhone or Apple Watch, with auto-pause that waits for you to actually stop, mile or kilometre splits, a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island, and spoken splits if you want them. • A route you can move. Every ruck ends with an interactive Apple Maps route, an elevation strip and a summary built for a glance. • Apple Health. Each ruck is saved as a Hiking workout with Loadline's calories and your pack weight in the workout's metadata, so Health and your rings see the load. • Import a GPX file or an existing Health workout and log the weight after the fact. • Weekly recap, standards to project your pace against, a share card with an optional privacy zone, CSV export. Local-first. No account, no analytics, no tracking. Your routes never leave your phone unless you share them. Calories are estimates. Loadline is not medical advice. Start near 10 % of body weight and add load slowly. Loadline Pro is an auto-renewable subscription billed through your Apple Account; the yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Manage or cancel it in Settings. Terms of Use: https://synap1e.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://synap1e.com/loadline/privacy
