GAINS - Fitness Tracker

The free tier is the base of the app, and it does not cap routines, days or log entries. You record sets, reps, weight and RPE, use a built-in rest timer, and see your full history. Nutrition works at the same level: a USDA database of more than 380,000 foods, quick-add for recent meals, and a dashboard for calories, protein, carbs and fat. The company says tracking costs it nothing to run, which is why it stays free.

Pro generates training and nutrition plans from your profile. The AI workout generator builds periodized programs around your goals, equipment, schedule and experience level, and the meal planner builds daily plans that match your diet preference, allergies, budget and macro targets. Each is capped at five a month on fair use, and the app says a plan takes about 60 seconds to produce. This is the main reason to pay.

The coach is a chat assistant that carries context from your logged workouts, meals and progress. You can tell it what you ate and it logs the food with full macros, or ask about a stalled lift and get advice tied to your actual numbers. It also runs weekly performance summaries and recovery-aware suggestions that use sleep and HRV data to adjust intensity. Pro gives 15 coach messages a day.

Point your camera at a nutrition label or a plate of food, and the AI reads it and logs the macros. The company lists plate and label scanning as unlimited on Pro, which matters if you log many meals a day and do not want to type each one. An AI document scanner also handles photos, PDFs and messy text, turning an unstructured program into something trackable.

Two features respond to what happens mid-session. Smart exercise swaps suggest alternatives when equipment is taken. They pick moves that hit the same muscle with the gear you have, and they are unlimited on Pro. Auto plan adaptation reads your performance and adjusts the coming sessions. Free users still get smart weight memory, where the previous session's weights auto-fill the next one.

GAINS offers two ways to bring in a program you already follow. The free path is a local text parser: paste a cleanly formatted workout and it detects days, exercises, sets and reps without using AI or a server. The Pro path is the AI document scanner, which reads photos, PDFs and handwriting. The split matters because the free parser covers most well-formatted programs at no cost.

The app turns history into charts and habits. You get automatic PR detection on every lift, volume trends and a body-weight sparkline. A week-at-a-glance overview pulls the numbers together. Streaks, XP, levels and badges push consistency, and progress photos stay local and private on your device. Post-workout share cards let you post your stats, and a recovery score rounds out the picture. None of this needs Pro.
