Does anyone here use any Open-Source Workout Trackers? I've been using hevy, but their high fees, the fact that they are a company that holds my health data and has made no commitments to open source, User privacy, or fair trade practices like user data import/export has me looking around. I wanted to see if anyone had reliable open source alternatives.

Tell me your workout tracking stories here! Tell me what you liked and what you disliked.

Fast and Fit seems nice, if lacking a bit in the UI department; I'll see if I can slowly incorporate it into my workouts.

Yes indeed, it was my almost only issue with the app in the begginning.

Also thanks for mentioning a fat caliper.

I initially only used the measurements of my scale, but about 6months ago I thought about giving it a go. I don't think I do it right (cuz otherwize I'd probably have waaay too little body fat and I'm not that extremely lean), but at least I think I do it consistently (I pay more attention to the mm than the result of the formulas it uses to calculate fat). It's an issue with the pressure applied, it's probably better to get a doctor teach you how to do it.

About gadgetbridge, it's ok, use whatever suits you, I ~don't use smartwatch so I don't know much on this.

(Q) Can it handle supplements though?

Yes, you can even add custom foods, either based on other foods or completely custom. The 2 protein powders I've used from ON exist on the (openfood?) database. Plus, it has many fields for macro and micro nutrients (note that many foods may not have all their nutrients or they may be a bit off.

My pleasure to help! I wanted to write these long ago haha😁
