About this app

Most fitness apps count things. Kaive tells you what the numbers mean.

Connect your heart rate strap, your smart trainer, your bike computer and your watch. Log a lift, a run, a ride or a swim. Then get a straight answer about how it went and what to do next, from a coach that knows your last six months.

A COACHING STAFF, NOT A CHATBOT

Kaive gives you specialist coaches instead of one generic assistant. A strength coach for the barbell. An endurance coach for long efforts. Coaches for running, cycling, swimming, triathlon, HYROX and more.

They share one picture of you. Your strength coach knows you raced on Sunday. Your endurance coach knows your knee has been sore. Ask about a session and you get an answer that fits your week, not a textbook.

CONNECT WHAT YOU ALREADY OWN

Bluetooth heart rate straps, chest and armband.
Smart trainers, including Wahoo KICKR, with control and power.
Power meters, cadence and speed sensors.
Bike computers including Hammerhead and Garmin.
Watches from Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Coros, Amazfit and more.
Health Connect.
Strava.
STATSports Apex GPS.

Upload a FIT, GPX or TCX file from anything else and Kaive reads it.

UNDERSTAND EVERY SESSION

Kaive breaks a session down properly. Time in zones. Pacing across splits. Whether you faded. Where the effort actually went. Power curves, elevation, lap-by-lap detail and a map of where you ran or rode.

Then it says what that means for tomorrow.

TRAINING LOAD YOU CAN READ

Fitness, Fatigue and Form. Three curves that show whether you are building, holding or digging a hole. The same model the pros use, in plain words, with an explanation of what each one is telling you.

READINESS THAT USES REAL SIGNALS

Sleep, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, breathing rate and blood oxygen. Kaive combines them into one honest number, and tells you which part is driving it.

STRENGTH TRAINING THAT PROGRESSES

Build a session or let a coach build one. Track every set, rep and kilo. See volume by muscle group on a body map. Personal records tracked automatically. Log sets with your voice while your hands are chalked.

STRUCTURED WORKOUTS AND INDOOR RIDING

Follow an interval session with your trainer controlling the resistance. Ride a real route indoors with the gradient under your wheels. Cancel the other subscription.

FOOD WITHOUT THE FAFF

Scan a barcode. Search a database of real foods, including US and UK entries. Build recipes and meal plans. Kaive tells you whether you ate enough to support what you asked your body to do.

PLANS THAT SURVIVE REAL LIFE

Training plans for 5K to marathon, sportives, triathlon, HYROX and general strength. Miss a session and Kaive reschedules rather than scolds. It knows about your five-a-side on Tuesday and your fast until noon.

RACE PREDICTIONS THAT ARE HONEST

Kaive predicts race times from what you have actually run, as a range rather than a false-precision number, and refuses to guess a marathon time from a parkrun.

EVERYTHING ELSE

Sleep, steps, water, fasting, supplements, injury tracking, progress photos, body measurements, benchmarks against real standards, challenges, badges and a trophy cabinet.

WHAT KAIVE WILL NOT DO

No adverts. No selling your data. No shaming you for a missed week. No made-up precision.

TRY IT PROPERLY

Thirty days, everything unlocked, no card. Long enough to run a training block and see whether it actually helps.

Kaive is a product of ElCapStudios, Ireland.

Kaive rhymes with wave, derived from the Finnish kaivaa meaning to dig-in/excavate.
