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.

Everything lives on your phone. Your training history is private - it isn't uploaded anywhere, and it works exactly the same in the basement of a gym with no signal. LOG A SESSION • Weight and reps, or duration for timed work • Buttons to nudge weight and reps without opening the keyboard • Personal records marked automatically as you hit them • Rest timer with a default you set once, plus per-exercise overrides • Running volume total for each exercise as you go • Swipe between days to backfill a session you forgot SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING • Chart estimated 1RM, total volume, or max weight for any exercise • One month through to all time • Drag across the chart to read any single point • Full history per exercise, with an estimated 1RM for every set MOVE FASTER • Save a session as a template and load it again next week • Search a built-in exercise library by muscle group • Add your own custom exercises • Pounds or kilos YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • Export everything to CSV whenever you want • Import it back, or open it in a spreadsheet • Nothing leaves the device unless you send it somewhere NO CATCH There are no ads, no subscriptions, no locked features and no account to create. There's a tip jar in Settings if you'd like to buy me a coffee — it unlocks nothing, because there's nothing to unlock. Built by one person who wanted a lifting log that didn't steal my data.
