24 alternatives to Strength Journeys
I built Strength Journeys, a free open-source dashboard that turns your Google Sheet lifting log into visual insights. I've been working on this for about 3 years - teaching myself React (Next.js) and Javascript. It’s designed for long-term barbell lifters and strength nerds who already track workouts in spreadsheets. All processing happens in the browser—no backend, no login, no data lock-in. It has an openAI API "talk to your data" and a lifting coach feature. Feedback very welcome—especially if you lift or track data in Google Sheets! I personally am a 51 year old garage powerlifter. The…

Proxima▲77Despite there being lots of information out there on how to train in the gym, I still get asked by beginners the same fundamental questions. I decided to build a tool that would allow them to create their own programs in a matter of seconds. I plan soon to create another tool that will rate the quality of these AI built workouts to help improve the programs over time.

I made a weightlifting tracker app specifically for coders. In weightlifting, progressive overload is one of the most important parts of gaining muscle. You should constantly increase weights, reps, use different set schemes, and that will make your muscles grow. There're many weightlifting programs, using various overloading schemes - linear increasing of weights, some periodic ladder-up increase, switching to different set schemes in case of failures, etc. You can implement all of that in Liftosaur. It works this way: each exercise may define a bunch of variables, that could be changed…

Hi HN, I'm an indie dev who built this to settle a long-running argument with my teenage son about who lifts more at the gym. I wanted a workout tracker to kept our data side-by-side on a leaderboard, and let us swap training plans without texting screenshots back and forth. Nothing I tried did all three without a subscription wall, so I wrote my own. Most of the app is free, it covers the full workout experience and progress tracking with 80+ exercises. The one-time purchase unlocks multiple plans, custom movements, and the social/sharing features, mainly to pay for the infra. The…

I've been working on an open source iOS and Android app for keeping track of the weight you lift at the gym. You can select a plan from a list of included ones, or create your own. I made LiftLog after trying numerous apps and finding either that they were really cumbersome to use, or only usable with a subscription. LiftLog stores everything locally on device and loads quickly. LiftLog is entirely open source and licensed under the AGPL.

I've just launched this little iOS app as an alternative to Apple Fitness, which is cluttered and chaotic when it comes to visualizing basic workout stats and metrics. The idea is to focus on a clean, minimalistic design and only show high-level metrics that are actually useful, e.g. how often did I work out this week/month/year, cardio vs strength vs mobility, surf session count in February, etc. It's free and offline. Also, no signup, no ads, no data sharing, no social feeds, and no notifications. Just open it and get a quick glance at the state of your workout game within 2s.…
