PlateClimb
Not claimedPlateClimb is a free 12 week strength program that lives entirely on your phone
By Gabriel Ghoussoub · Health and fitnessWhy we expect it: A thoughtful, privacy-first strength program with clear structure, open-source transparency, and a strong value proposition for fitness newcomers.
In short
PlateClimb is a free 12 week strength program that runs entirely on the phone, with no account, server, or tracking. It suits people who want a structured lifting plan with pre-filled weights, rest timers, and form videos for each exercise. What stands out is that all data stays on the device and the source code is published under the GNU GPL v3 or later.
