Other workout apps lock the essentials behind a subscription. Strive doesn’t. Here’s the side-by-side.

“Most clear and simple tracker I found. Switched from Jefit. Zero annoying features here, nice adjustable dashboard and widgets for tracking progress, easy exercise logging.”

“This app does EXACTLY what it says, it does it extremely well and it does it for free. The interface is simple and not cluttered. Genuinely super happy with it. Thanks!”

Sonia Izrar
★★★★★

“Great no nonsense workout log. I’ve spent years installing and uninstalling workout apps. I don’t need routines. I don’t need videos. I don’t need community. I just need to track my workouts.”

★★★★★

“Great gains since I committed to this app. Keeps me accountable when I would have given myself an excuse to quit early. Allows for variation when I’d otherwise get bored or equipment is unavailable.”

Peter Frey
★★★★★

“I love this tracker, it’s absolutely incredible. I’ve made so much progress using it by making and tweaking my program every though all the awesome free features. Can’t thank you enough for this app.”

“I tried out nearly every workout tracking app available before settling on this. It has all the functionality I was looking for, simple and minimal layout without ads or unnecessary info. 10/10 recommend.”

Why Strive exists

Artur Fijał, creator of Strive Workout Log

Built by a lifter, for lifters.

Hi, I’m Artur Fijał. I got tired of every workout app putting basic stuff behind a paywall — so I built Strive.

It’s been my side project for years, used by people in 100+ countries, and I keep improving it because I use it every day myself.

No VC money. No dark patterns. No ads. Just a tool I’d want to use.

Find a bug or want a feature? Write me from inside the app. I read every message.

FAQ

Common questions

Is the app really free?+
Yes. Unlimited routines, full workout history, advanced charts, bodyweight tracking, exercise sharing — all free, forever. No ads, no trial period, no tricks. Strive is freemium — there’s an optional Pro upgrade with advanced features, but the free version is a complete workout tracker.
Why does Strive offer so much for free?+
I wanted everyone to have access to a complete training tool that actually helps them progress — regardless of budget. Too many apps paywall the basics. Since I’m a solo developer, my costs are lower than a big company with employees.
Will free features stay free forever?+
Yes. What’s free today stays free. I may add new advanced features to Pro, but I will never move existing free features behind a paywall. No ads, no data selling. Ever.
What’s in Strive Pro?+
RPE & RIR tracking, effective reps, Apple Health & Health Connect sync, workout plans and schedules, custom themes and theme creator, home screen widgets, and unlimited routine import/export. Pricing is shown in the app in your local currency.
Does it work offline?+
Yes, fully. Your data is stored on your device so you can log and access workouts anywhere — basement gym, garage, outdoors, airplane. No internet connection needed.
Is my data stored locally or in the cloud?+
Locally, on your device. Your workout data never leaves your phone unless you explicitly export it. No account required, no cloud sync, no tracking. Standard Android and iOS backups include your app data — you can disable this in your system settings if you prefer. You can also manually create a full database backup from within the app.
Can I create custom exercises?+
Yes. The app comes with over 300 built-in exercises with animations and descriptions showing proper technique for all popular standard movements. You can also create your own custom exercises with custom name, muscle groups, and equipment.
Can I export my workout data?+
Yes. You can export your full workout history as a database file at any time. CSV and other export formats are planned for the future. Your data is yours — no vendor lock-in.
How can I track progressive overload with Strive?+
Every set shows your previous performance right next to the input fields — last weight, last reps. You see instantly what you did last time and can aim to beat it. Charts track your volume, 1RM estimates, effective reps and trends over time so you always know if you’re moving forward.
iOS or Android?+
Both. Strive is available on the App Store and Google Play.
Apple Watch or Wear OS app?+
Not right now. These are two additional projects to build and maintain, and I develop Strive in my free time. It’s on my radar but I can’t promise a timeline.
Who built Strive?+
I’m Artur Fijał — a developer from Poland. I build Strive in my free time because I got tired of every workout app putting basic stuff behind a paywall. I read every message users send through the app and every review in the app stores.
How can I support Strive?+
Tell your gym buddies about it, leave a review on the App Store or Google Play, or share your workouts on social media. Word of mouth is everything for a solo-developer app.
Can I get a discount on Pro?+
Follow me on social media — that’s where I announce promotions and deals. You can also earn Pro access by creating content. More details are available inside the app.
