STATIK is the training tracker built specifically for calisthenics athletes chasing static-strength skills. Whether you're working toward your first planche, dialing in a clean front lever, or chasing iron cross on rings, Statik gives you the data and structure to progress with intent. No bloat, no ads, no random programming — just the metrics that actually matter for static-strength training. —— BUILT FOR THESE SKILLS —— • Planche (tuck, advanced tuck, straddle, full, maltese) • Front lever (tuck, advanced, straddle, full, victorian) • Back lever (tuck, advanced, straddle, full) • Handstand (wall, free, straddle one-arm, full one-arm) • Iron cross, inverted cross, maltese on rings • Manna, L-sit, V-sit, straddle L • Human flag, dragon flag, hefesto • One-arm pull-up, muscle-up, dynamic skills • Static holds for any progression in the calisthenics canon —— PRECISION SET LOGGING —— Log every set with the metrics calisthenics needs: • Reps or hold-time (seconds) per set • Form score (1–10) — how clean was the rep • RPE — how hard did it feel • Added weight or resistance band • Grip type (overhand, underhand, false grip, neutral) Switch any exercise between rep-based and time-based with one tap. Log a 12-second tuck planche or a 5×5 muscle-up — same flow, same speed. —— INTELLIGENT PROGRESSION —— Statik tracks your performance across each skill family — planche, lever, handstand — and recognizes when you've consistently hit thresholds for the next progression. PRs are detected automatically. No guesswork, no random programming. Your data tells you when you're ready. —— ATHLETE PROFILE RADAR —— See your strength distribution across pulling, pushing, core, and isometric holds in a single glance. Spot weaknesses. Balance your training. Understand the athlete you're building. —— DEEP, HONEST ANALYTICS —— • PR history charts per skill • Volume tracking by week and month • RPE trends — see effort drop as strength rises • Stagnation detection — know when to deload before it costs you • Form × RPE quality pill — the two-axis readout no other tracker gives you Statik captures data competitors don't — form score, effort, grip type — and turns it into insight you can train on. —— FAST DURING WORKOUTS —— Designed mobile-first for one-handed use mid-set. Minimal taps. Auto-fill from last session. Sticky rest timer. Haptic feedback when you log. Premium dark theme. Built to disappear when you're working and surface insight when you're done. —— SKILL LIBRARY —— Hundreds of static and dynamic calisthenics skills, organized by family and progression order. Search, favorite, and pick what you're working on. Clear, technical, no fluff. —— REUSABLE TEMPLATES —— Build session templates for skill days, push days, pull days, or full programs. Pre-fill skills, grips, metric types, targets, and load. —— WHAT STATIK IS NOT —— We don't track you. There are no ads, no third-party analytics SDKs, no behavioral profiling, no cross-context tracking, no data resale. Your training data stays yours — encrypted, private, and deletable in one tap. —— SIGN IN —— Sign in with Apple supported. Email + password also available. No phone number required, no social account required. —— COMING SOON —— Live Activity for active workouts. Offline mode. Apple Watch companion. Auto-progression celebrations. We ship simple, stable, and mobile-first — feature by feature, not all at once. Built by athletes for athletes. Train with intent.
