Kinoku is a private training app for lifters, runners, and hybrid athletes.
Your sets, runs, body metrics, and cycle data all live on your phone. There is no account to make. No cloud holds your history. Backup and export are built in.
WHAT YOU CAN TRACK
- Strength: sets, reps, weight, RPE, RIR, supersets, drop sets, rest-pause, failure sets.
- GPS: runs, walks, and rides with pace, splits, heart rate, elevation, and weather.
- Swim: pool sessions with laps and stroke notes.
- Mobility and flow work: balance, flexibility, and core.
- Cycle: periods, symptoms, and phase-aware training notes. This data never leaves your phone.
- Body: weight, body comp, and custom metrics.
- Steps, sleep, and HRV (via Health Connect).
- Progress photos with a locked private gallery.
WHY IT IS DIFFERENT
A real free tier. The free app is a full app, not a teaser. Unlimited routines and history. 1,300+ exercises plus your own. 17 themes. Wear OS and Health Connect. No ads. Most other fitness apps charge for some of this.
A whole-athlete app. Kinoku covers all of it in one app, with more added over time.
Helpful, not bossy. The Kinoku Coach finds patterns in your data. It backs up your call. It does not take over.
PRO ADDS DEPTH
Run Analytics, Zone Training, a route heatmap, and a fitness score from your runs. A training calendar with planned workouts and active programs. Smart Today notes that read your recent days. Quick Log by text and voice. Circuit and HIIT mode. Custom Scenes. Volume Landmarks, the training-volume targets per muscle. Unlimited custom metrics. A recovery-colored body figure on Today. Four extra themes.
ELITE ADDS THE FULL ANALYTICS LAYER
A 6-tab Elite Analytics Hub with Training Load, Race Predictions, and Strength Standards. Readiness from sleep, HRV, and training load. Auto set tuning and weight tips. Tomorrow's Focus, Smart Fatigue Swap, and cycle-linked training notes. Unlimited programs and custom plans. Two more themes.
PRIVACY, FOR REAL
Reproductive-health data sits in its own on-device database. It never goes to Google Drive, Health Connect, share cards, or exports.
Diagnostics are off by default. Turn them on in Settings if you want to help. Crash reports only, no personal data.
Kinoku ships with no tracking SDKs and no advertising SDKs. No data is sold to anyone, ever.
WEAR OS
Start workouts, track sets, and run with GPS from your watch. It works without your phone and syncs back when paired. Heart-rate aware. Tile and complication included.
8 LANGUAGES
English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, and Korean.
Free forever, with no ads and no time limit. Pro and Elite are optional, with monthly, annual, and lifetime options. The yearly Pro and Elite plans start with a 14-day free trial. You can cancel anytime before it ends.
Built by one person. I use the app every day. If something is broken or you want something added, tell me at feedback@kinoku.app.
