Novastra: Gym Workout Tracker

Novastra is a gym workout tracker for people who train seriously and don't want to fight an app between sets. Fourteen complete programs, free: the exercise selection and the set distribution come from the hypertrophy literature, and every program explains why it is built that way. Adopt one and your week is laid out. LOG A SET IN TWO TAPS Weight and reps come prefilled from last time. Tick the set and the rest timer starts on its own. PR marks, estimated 1RM, a stopwatch for planks and cardio, a plate calculator, supersets, and your own notes on every exercise. IT TELLS YOU WHEN TO ADD WEIGHT Finish every set at the top of your rep range and Novastra suggests the next jump: 2.5 kg on the bar, 2 kg per dumbbell, 5 lb in pounds. One tap to accept. Progressive overload without doing arithmetic between sets. COMPLETE PROGRAMS, NOT EMPTY TEMPLATES Upper/lower, push pull legs, full body in 2 or 3 days, a 5x5 strength plan... a program to start from zero at the gym, three glute and leg programs, 3-day calisthenics and dumbbell training at home. Each one explains WHY it is built that way, day by day, with its sets, reps and rests. Adopt it and your week is laid out. Change any of it: it's yours. 907 EXERCISES WITH REAL TECHNIQUE Every exercise carries a technique paragraph, and the 189 main lifts are written by hand, not generated: the bench angle, what you should feel, the classic mistake. 880 come with an animation, so you can see the movement before you do it. Filter the exercise library by muscle and by the equipment you actually have. THE MUSCLE MAP Every exercise lights the main muscle in red and the assisting ones in cyan on a real anatomical drawing. Then your whole week, muscle by muscle, so you can see what you are neglecting. YOUR PROGRESS, PROPERLY Weekly volume, sets per muscle group, the balance between them, personal records, a consistency map and your streak. A chart per exercise and per body measurement. No fluff, no invented scores. YOUR ACCOUNT, YOUR HISTORY Sign in with Google and your training log lives in your account. Change phones, sign in, and it is all there. You can train from a browser too, at novastra.fit, with the same account. Export everything to CSV or JSON whenever you like, and send your sessions to Health Connect so they show up in Google Fit or Samsung Health. A COMMUNITY WITHOUT THE POSING Ranks, collective challenges every two weeks and a league among the people you follow. You decide what is visible about you, including nothing at all. Share your own programs for other people to adopt, and browse theirs. WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED No ads. No advertising identifiers and no third-party trackers. The app does not ask for access to your contacts, location, or photo gallery. What *is* stored is simply what is needed for the app to work: your account and your workouts—linked to your account—so you can switch phones and export everything in CSV or JSON format whenever you like. None of this data is sold or shared. With Novastra Premium: Unlimited programs and routines, your complete progress, nutrition and advanced planning. Whether you train for hypertrophy or strength, at the gym or at home, Novastra keeps the plan and the log in one place. Free, for ages 16 and up.
