Everything Badger does

This is the full map. You will not need most of it to start, and nothing here is required to log a workout. Skim for anything that sounds useful, then follow the link to learn how it works. If you are brand new, the starting guides are a gentler place to begin.

Logging a workout

• Set logging - weight, reps, duration, and distance, with the right fields for each exercise type.
• Warm-up and working sets - mark any set as a warm-up so it stays out of your records.
• Rest timer - starts on its own after a set, with custom durations, sound, and vibration.
• Workout notification - Android: your current exercise, next target, and rest countdown on the lock screen while you train.
• Supersets - group exercises you alternate between, with automatic advancing.
• RPE and RIR - record how hard each set felt, if you want that detail.
• Compact set recorder - collapse the set details down to weight, reps, and done.
• Per-set comments - jot a form cue or note an odd rep on a single set.
• Plan vs last - your target and last session's numbers, right above the recorder.
• Missed vs skipped - a short set still counts; a skipped one doesn't.
• Repeat last set - copy your previous set in one tap.
• Skip a set - mark a planned set as skipped without deleting it.
• Workout notes - a comment for the whole session.
• Resume a workout - reopen today's finished session and add more.
• Hands-free flow - keep the screen on, auto-select the next set, and auto-advance between exercises.

Exercises

• Over 360 built-in exercises - across eight categories, including machine, cable, and unilateral variants.
• A-Z exercise index - the whole library in one alphabetical list, with a letter strip to jump down it.
• Search and filter - by name, category chip, muscle group, or equipment type, in any combination.
• Custom exercises - add anything that is not in the library.
• Exercise types - weight and reps, bodyweight, timed, distance, and combinations.
• Favorites and avoided - flag the lifts you love and the ones you never want to see.
• Linked exercises - tie variants together so they share PR history.
• Manage categories - create, rename, recolor, and reorder the categories that group the library.
• Per-exercise settings - default increment, rest, bar weight, tempo, and notes.

Routines and programs

• Build routines - multi-day programs with set and rep targets per exercise.
• Built-in programs - StrongLifts 5x5, Starting Strength, GZCLP, 5/3/1 BBB, PPL, Upper/Lower, and Full Body.
• Predefined sets - your targets are filled in the moment you start a session.
• Schedule or rotation - pin days to weekdays, or rotate through them in order for any number of days.
• Starting weights - pull from your last session or from the routine plan.
• Exercise alternatives - pre-set swaps for when a machine is taken.
• Rep ranges - set a target of "8-10" instead of a single number.
• Double progression - work up through the range, then add weight.
• Progressive overload - suggests a weight bump after a run of solid sessions.
• Auto-progress weights - write the heavier loads you hit back into the plan.
• Deload weeks - detect a due-for-lighter week and reduce weights and sets; start or end one manually, or skip a single workout.
• Routine folders - group related routines together.
• Routine from past workouts - turn sessions you already logged into a reusable routine.
• Routine notes - program-level context on the routine itself; travels with a shared routine.

Tracking and progress

• Personal records - PRs are detected and tracked for every exercise type: heaviest, most reps, farthest, or best time.
• Progress graphs - estimated 1RM, max weight, and volume over time.
• Estimated 1RM - calculated from your logged weight and reps.
• Volume landmarks - sets per muscle group against research-based MEV and MRV zones.
• Training heatmap - a GitHub-style view of how often you train.
• Muscle balance warnings - flags a muscle group that is getting too little work.
• Plateau detection - spots an exercise that has stopped progressing.
• Per-exercise history - every session for a single movement in one place.
• Editable history - fix any past set or piece of equipment after the fact.
• Training notes - a private page for your goals, injuries, and training context.

Equipment and gyms

• Multiple gyms - track where each workout happened.
• Machines and attachments - log the exact equipment you used.
• Grip types - overhand, underhand, neutral, wide, close, hammer.
• Per-machine notes - seat heights and setup cues that stick to the machine.
• Equipment photos - snap a machine or attachment so you recognize it on the floor.
• Machine-scoped PRs - keep records separate per machine.
• Weight config - logging unit and step size per machine, including non-uniform stacks.
• Per-gym plate inventory - the plates a given gym actually has.

Calculators and tools

• Plate calculator - which plates to load for a target weight, per gym.
• Warm-up calculator - warm-up sets worked out from your working weight.
• Use this load - write an achievable plate total straight back into the weight field.

History

• List and calendar views - browse past workouts either way.
• Filter by category - narrow history to one kind of training.
• Copy a workout - replicate a past session onto today.
• Log a past workout - backdate a session you forgot to record.
• Share as an image - post a workout summary card.

Your data

• Import - bring history from FitNotes, Strong, Hevy, or Stronglifts.
• Export to CSV - your full per-set history as a spreadsheet.
• Backup and restore - a local database snapshot you control.
• Cloud backup - optional automatic backup to your own Google Drive.
• Share setups - send routines, gyms, and machines to someone as a .badger file.
• Move to a new phone - carry your history across devices.
• Workout reminders - scheduled notifications based on your training days.
• Themes and accent - dark, light, or system, with a custom accent color.
• Home-screen widget - Android: your week strip, last entry, and next routine day on the home screen.

Everything stays on your device. Badger has no account and no required sign-in, and nothing leaves your phone unless you export, share, or turn on cloud backup yourself.
