Liftlog

The best FOSS app to track workouts

Simple and flexible. I have a few ideas to add (assisted repetitions, move your body weight to the general settings, etc.). But overall - this app fits the niche of a paper notepad for trainings very well.

Pros:

• Beautiful design (Material You) and animations
• Intuitive
• Stats and graphs of past workouts
• Works offline
• No account requested

Cons:

• In the feature section there's "privacy-focused" property, but the app includes a Sentry tracker (source: Exodus) without an opt-out option.
• Not available in F-Droid or other privacy oriented stores.
• As stated in the github repo, the AI planner (a paid feature) uses OpenAI which has free models (GPT-4o mini).

Other personal considerations:

• To install it in GrapheneOS, I had to disable "Hardened memory allocator" to prevent the app from crashing.
• I personally don't like the feed page, where users can post workouts and follow others, but maybe someone else will appreciate this feature

Overall it's a app that gets the job done and for the majority of people it a great alternative to all the proprietary ones (which btw most require an email just to use them!). However, it doesn't align with my needs and values.

All I needed was a workout app that allowed me to track my lifting progress and share workouts with my workout partner. This app does that. It's not $30 a month; it does it for free.
