Cadence Move forward

Log the work.
See the pattern.

Paste in the routine that's already sitting in your notes app and start training. Lifting, running, yoga, pilates — whatever training means to you, it goes in one log.

Open Cadence Free · no account · works offline

No setup. Paste what you already have.

Most apps make you build your program again, one dropdown at a time. Yours is already written down somewhere. Paste the whole week in and Cadence turns it into routines — then shows you what it understood before saving anything.

Headings become separate routines. Shorthand like bench, RDL or 5k is matched to real exercises, and anything it doesn't recognise is kept exactly as you wrote it.

What it does

One log for all of it

Weight and reps, distance and time, a held plank, or just "45 minutes of pilates". Lifting, running, cycling, yoga — it all lands in the same history instead of three different apps.

Forgot to log it? Two taps.

Tap any past day in the calendar and fill it in — including the time you actually trained, not the time you finally remembered. Missing the logging shouldn't mean missing the record.

Never guess what you did last time

Every exercise shows your last session right above the boxes you're filling in, so you know the number to beat before you start. One tap copies it across.

Send a routine to anyone

Share it as plain text, straight into Messages or WhatsApp. They paste it in and get the whole routine — any phone, with or without Cadence, no account and nothing uploaded.

It notices things

Bench stuck at the same weight three sessions running? It says so, and suggests backing off rather than grinding. Most apps hand you a chart and leave the reading to you.

Not sure where to start?

Answer five questions and get a real week built for you — lifting, cardio, yoga or a mix — with notes on how to actually run it, not just a list of exercises.

Charts that answer real questions

Am I training as often as I think? Is it getting heavier? What time of day do I actually show up? A handful of answers rather than a wall of numbers.

Timers that match the work

Rest counts down between sets, loud enough to hear over music. For a plank, a 10k or a yoga class, the stopwatch counts up and writes the time straight in.

There is no server. That's the whole feature.

No email, no password, no free trial that turns into a subscription. Open it and start logging.

Your training is written to your own device and stays there. Not encrypted-and-uploaded, not anonymised-and-aggregated. Nothing leaves this device unless you send it yourself. Nobody can read your log, including me, because there is nowhere for it to go and nothing to log into.

There are no leaderboards and there won't be. Nobody can verify anybody's bench press, so a ranking only rewards whoever is loosest with the truth — and the point of this is the progress you can see in your own history, not a position on a table.

Apps get acquired, sunset and paywalled. Terms of service change. None of that reaches you here: there is no account to lock and no history to gate. Your log outlives the app.

The trade is real and worth saying out loud: you are the backup, and your log lives on one device. Export whenever you like — a restoreable file, or a spreadsheet you can open anywhere or send to a coach. Your training leaves in a format that will still open in twenty years.

Put it on your home screen

Cadence is a web app, so there's no app store and nothing to update.

Open it, then:

Android — Chrome

  1. Tap the three-dot menu ⋮ at the top right.
  2. Tap Install and add shortcut. Older versions of Chrome call this Add to Home screen.
  3. Confirm Install.

iPhone — Safari only

  1. Tap the Share icon. On newer iOS it sits behind the three-dot button ⋯ beside the address bar.
  2. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
  3. Leave Open as Web App switched on, then tap Add.

Chrome, Firefox and Edge on iPhone cannot do this — only Safari can. And with that toggle off you get a plain bookmark rather than an app: no full screen, no offline.

Installed, it opens full screen and runs without a signal — useful in a basement gym.

Open Cadence

Nothing to sign up for. Nothing to cancel. Close the tab and your log is still here.
