WorkoutBuddy is a fast, offline-first Android workout log that automatically calculates progressive overload, suggests weight & rep targets, and visualizes muscle fatigue—all with zero ads, subscriptions, or mandatory accounts.

Hi Product Hunt community, I built WorkoutBuddy because I got frustrated with existing gym tracking apps. Most apps on the market either feel bloated with unnecessary social feeds, lock basic features like rest timers and progressive overload tracking behind monthly subscriptions, or force you to create an account just to log a bench press set. The problem I wanted to solve was simple: tracking progressive overload in the gym should be effortless, private, and smart. You shouldn't have to carry a physical notebook or do mental math between sets to calculate what weight to lift next. When I started developing WorkoutBuddy natively for Android using Jetpack Compose and Room, my original plan was just to build a lightweight logging tool. But as I tested it during my own workouts, my approach evolved. I realized that a great workout tracker should do three things automatically: 1. Calculate recommended weights and reps based on past performance and experience level so you never stall on progressive overload. 2. Provide background rest and hold timers that trigger clear notification chimes without interrupting your workout flow. 3. Show visual feedback, like a Muscle Impact Map and real-time PR detection, to keep training engaging and informative. WorkoutBuddy is 100% offline and private. There are no accounts to create, no ads, and no monthly subscriptions. All your data stays locally on your device. I would love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or thoughts on how to make WorkoutBuddy even better for your training.
