Statistics cover progress per exercise, records, volume, frequency and body weight, with automatic PR detection and dated progress photos. Trainer accounts can prescribe workouts to athletes, and you can import your history from Strong, Hevy, FitNotes, Jefit or Garmin FIT files. Multi-user with OIDC single sign-on and a native Android app. No telemetry and no accounts on external services; your data stays in your appdata folder.

Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.
