An AI coach and intelligent training system, in your pocket. For people who invest in their health. If you take your training seriously and want something that adapts completely to your own training data — not a generic routine — Actus is built for you. Actus builds your multi-week strength program from peer-reviewed exercise science — ACSM, NSCA, Schoenfeld — around your goals, experience, equipment, and the time you have. From there your plan keeps adapting as you train: Actus picks up on pain, long breaks from the gym, and your progress, then suggests new exercises and adjustments so you always have help moving toward your goals. Your AI Coach, on call Ask the AI Coach anything. It knows your full training history and can change your schedule, swap exercises, adjust sets, reps, weight, rest, and RPE, rename sessions, and undo your last change — all through plain conversation, so you keep making progress toward your goals. Every change is shown to you first and waits for your confirmation before it commits. What you get • Open the app and your next session is already there — week, day, exercise, sets, target reps. • Log a set, skip an exercise, or report pain, and the plan responds in seconds. • Apple Health integration — completed workouts written to Apple Health; body mass read once at onboarding so your plan is calibrated to you. What's free, what's Premium Free: the full training plan, three completed workouts, ten AI Coach messages. Premium: unlimited workouts and unlimited Coach. Monthly or yearly. Cancel anytime. Subscriptions Actus Premium Monthly — $9.99/month Actus Premium Yearly — $79.99/year (save 33%) Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.

Your workout is ready today, your way, and it adjusts every week based on the effort you logged. Orkadu brings together what usually lives scattered: the training plan, the load log, your latest lab results, check-in measurements, what you report each morning, and your progress over months. FOUR WAYS TO START TRAINING Generate a plan with AI from your profile, build one from scratch, start from a ready template, or import the plan your personal trainer wrote (PDF or photo). You choose. The library has 800+ exercises with visual demos. TRAINING THAT ADJUSTS EVERY WEEK After each gym or home session you mark how it went: light, right, heavy or failed. Next week's loads change because of it. That is the autoregulation no spreadsheet does on its own, whether you lift for strength, size, or to leave the couch safely. CAN I PUSH TODAY? The home screen answers before you ask: today's readiness and this week's load come from the sessions you logged, with the real duration of each one. Missing data? The app says so. It does not make things up. THE FIVE-TAP JOURNAL Every morning: sleep, stress, pain, alcohol, water. Fifteen seconds. It is what no watch measures, and it sits next to the numbers your watch does measure. KADU TALKS TO YOUR DATA Kadu is Orkadu's assistant. Ask about today's workout, the knee that bothers you, or the load that will not go up: it answers with your numbers in hand and suggests the next step. Every week it writes your report with what changed, from facts already in the app. AI READS YOUR LABS, AND YOUR TRAINING TAKES IT INTO ACCOUNT Upload the lab PDF (or a photo of the sheet). Markers become visual reference rulers, you follow each one over time, and your training accounts for what the labs showed. Labs are optional: without them, your plan still comes from your profile. LOGGING WITHOUT FRICTION Log workout, set and load in a few taps, with session time counted for you. Running, walking and cycling take distance, and pace is calculated. Check in with weight, measurements and progress photos: the side-by-side comparison shows what the daily mirror hides. PROFILE, CHALLENGES AND COMMUNITIES You decide whether you show up. The profile is optional: nickname, level and achievements. Never labs, weight, measurements or photos. Invite your training partners to a challenge scored by sessions, or join a community, by invite or open, with a consistency ranking. You agree on what is at stake; the app keeps score, the settling is yours, outside the app. Every post and every member has two-tap reporting and blocking, and moderation responds within 24 hours. For adults 18+. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Health data encrypted (AES-256). Photos have location stripped before storage. Export or delete everything whenever you want, right in the app. 7 DAYS FREE Try everything for 7 days. Then subscribe in the app, billed by the App Store. Orkadu never sees your card. Cancel anytime in your iPhone Settings. IMPORTANT Orkadu is an informational tracking tool.
