I can’t really see the similarities to be honest, looked it up and find the Musklr heatmap for example much nicer, with actual human anatomy.

It also does not have Apple Watch integration and a few other critical features

I get that, for Musklr I made signing in optional, social features completely optional. Works great offline. Caches animations and saves everything locally. So can set the app in flight mode. Just use an Apple Watch if you want. And everything will still work.

I have been working on this app for a while, trying to create a good UI and good integration with Apple Watch.

As well as live activity, haptic feedback, animations, fast local database with search that is super fast (it’s actually really fast with fussy matching algorithm so even if you type the exercise wrong it will find it instantly)

And if you have any feedback I’ll make sure to fix it!

Hi, I’m the creator of Musklr. Thanks for the feedback. I’ll look into creating something like this, but might not be the implement first. Have a few more thinks in the backlog :)

But I’ll put it in the backlog and work!

Hi, I’m the creator of Musklr. I created this app because of the same frustrations with poorly created workout apps.

I know there are tons of apps like this out there, but I’m honestly testing and testing and polishing this app very consistently. Trying to create a really smooth experience.

I’ll appreciate your feedback, I just launched the app 3 days ago and the website is not even finished yet!

If you just have the name of an exercise and type in the amount of kg and reps. That’s just a TODO app++. Easily created with Claude in an afternoon

This app however, with thousands of exercises, each exercise mapped to the correct muscle group and equipment. Well tested integration with Apple Watch. Social features, like posts, follows, likes, public and private accounts. That’s not made that easily with AI.

Finish a set in Musklr and a full screen rest timer takes over. A big countdown ring, a dark scrim, nothing else competing for your attention. Tap anywhere and the timer gets out of your way. Until version 1.180 it faded out. Now the ring shrinks, flies to the corner and lands in the little timer slot in the stats bar, as one continuous motion.
