One private Android app for lifting, running and walking
Free, with lifts and runs in one history, for lifters on a program, runners chasing a race and walkers who love maps.
Lifters
At this hour the gym is chalk and iron, and Kinoku keeps the log of every set you lift in it.


Set-by-set lifters
You log each set with its weight, its reps and how hard it felt, as a rate of perceived exertion (RPE) or reps in reserve (RIR). Kinoku keeps the rest timer, the warmup sets and the plate math in the same place.
- FREEWorkout LoggingCore logging
- PROWorkout LoggingPer-exercise rest times
- FREEWarmup Generator
- FREEPlate CalculatorBar loading
- FREEMuscle MapTraining maps
Lifters on a program
You follow a plan such as 5/3/1, nSuns or GZCLP (a beginner barbell program), and Kinoku raises the weights as you go. All 25 program templates are free, and so is the builder for a plan of your own.
- FREEPeriodizationThe whole planning stack
- FREERoutines & Programs
- FREESmart TodayToday pick and Rotation Groups
- PROPeriodizationAdaptive layer
Powerlifters
You train the squat, the bench press and the deadlift for a meet. Pro adds the published strength scores that compare lifters across body weights, and the free plan keeps the history and trend of every lift.
- PROStrength Standards
- PROPlate CalculatorCustom plate inventory
- FREELift ProgressPer-lift label

Lifters over 40
Longevity Mode turns on at 40 once your birth date is set, or whenever you choose, and it frames the Kinoku Score and the Coach around long-term health. The numbers under it stay the same, and the free 8-week Longevity Foundations plan comes with it.

- PROMuscle MapRecovery guidance
Bar and bodyweight trainers
Seven free Skill Journeys lead toward moves like a first pull-up or a wall handstand. Kinoku works out the real load of each pull-up, push-up or dip from your body weight, and a follow-along video can sit on any routine you train at home.

- FREEScenesBuilt-in scenes
Where it stopsKinoku has no social feed, so nobody sees a lift unless you choose to share it yourself.
More on workout logging, the free programs, Skill Journeys and a plan from your own AI.
Hybrid athletes
Between the barbell and the road sits a week of squats, tempo runs and swims, and Kinoku reads it as one week rather than two apps.


Hybrid athletes
You lift and run in the same week, and sometimes you swim too. One Form curve on the Coach screen scores a squat session and a tempo run in the same units, and Smart Today names the workout you are due for next.

Week planners
You like the week mapped out before Monday comes. The free calendar holds as many plans as you want, as far ahead as you want, and Pro adds repeating schedules and drag-to-move.
- FREETraining CalendarUnlimited planning
- PROTraining CalendarFaster week moves
- PRORest Day TrackerScheduled-ahead + auto-detection

Plans from a coach
Your plan may come from a coach's sheet or from a chat with an AI assistant. Kinoku can read a photo of the sheet, or a file the assistant writes, into routines on your phone, and one prompt gets ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini to write that file for you.
- FREEPhoto Import
- FREEBackup & Import
- FREEExercise LibraryLibrary and custom moves
Where it stopsA swim or a spin class has no pace or heart rate for the curve to score, so Kinoku falls back on how long it lasted and how hard it felt.
More on the Form curve, the training calendar and a free hybrid training plan.
Runners
At dawn the park is quiet, and each run becomes a line of pace, splits and distance in the same record as your lifts.



Everyday runners
You want each run recorded well, with live pace, splits and voice cues. Kinoku also keeps your fastest 5K and 10K and the distance on each pair of shoes, all for free.
- FREEGPS Run Tracking
- FREERunning Progress
- FREEShoe Mileage Tracking
- FREERun StudioFull interactive screen
Runners chasing a race
You build your own interval workouts for free. Pro adds pace zones, race forecasts and a compare card that sets each run beside your similar past runs.

Watch wearers
The free Wear OS app tracks workouts, runs and steps from your wrist. Health Connect brings in your sleep, your resting heart rate and the runs that other apps saved.

- FREEHealth ConnectStandard signals
- PROSmart TodayRecovery body and easy day
Runners leaving Strava
You want years of runs without the feed that came with them. Kinoku reads the Strava archive ZIP on your phone, with no login and no link to Strava's servers.
- FREEStrava Import
- PRORoute Heatmap
- FREEShare Cards
Where it stopsKinoku has no cycling mode and does not pair with a Bluetooth chest strap, so heart rate comes from its watch app or, after the run, from Health Connect.
More on GPS runs, Kinoku and Strava and the Wear OS app.
Walkers
From the day you start a road, the kilometres you walk or run move a small marker along it, whichever streets you took. Only the distance travels, so the map never draws your route.
Behind this text is the Tōkaidō road as the app draws it, with sample progress: the marker has walked from Nihonbashi toward Hakone, whose print stays covered until it arrives.
Walkers who love maps
You may never log a workout, yet your everyday walks and steps carry you along Hadrian's Wall (135km), the Tōkaidō (492 km) or the Odyssey, whose 2,400 km is a distance chosen for the story. Most stops keep their print covered until you arrive, there is no deadline, and Pro adds a Sandstone Relief edition of Hadrian's Wall.
Runners who lift
Tracked runs and walks move the marker, and gym work can join if you switch it on. Every 2,000 kg you lift then counts as one kilometre, shown on its own line apart from the distance you covered on foot.
- FREEJourneysThree complete roads
- FREEGPS Run Tracking
- FREEWorkout LoggingCore logging
Where it stopsA road begins on the day you start it, so older walks stay in your history without moving the marker, and one road collects distance at a time.

People who want no account
Your training history has no Kinoku server to go to. The network paths the app does use are all named in the privacy policy. They include Android backup to your Google account, Play billing, map tiles and a promo check that may run when the app starts. For video links you save, the app fetches titles and thumbnails from YouTube or Vimeo. Weather and diagnostics stay off until you turn them on.
Private by choice
There is no account to make, and no Kinoku server holds your training history. Android Auto Backup, manual backup, export, and each network exception are explained plainly.
Android system backup can copy eligible main data to your Google account. Dedicated cycle records and configuration are excluded from future automatic cloud backup; they move only through manual Kinoku ZIP backup or device transfer you start.

Keepers of long logs
You have years of training in one log, and a backup of it is a lossless file you own. Kinoku shows each saved edit as a plain before-and-after and keeps deleted workouts for 30 days.
- FREEBackup & Import
- FREEChange History
- FREETrash & 30-day Undo
Cycle-aware trainers
Cycle tracking, forecasts and a trying-to-conceive mode are free, and after 3 full cycles Pro can compare your training with each phase. Kinoku is a tracker rather than a medical tool.
The cycle database stays separate and is excluded from Android's automatic cloud-backup path.
- FREECycle Tracking & FertilityTracking, predictions & fertility
- PROCycle Tracking & FertilityHealth Connect + correlations
Where it stopsTwo phones do not sync with each other, because there is no Kinoku account or server to keep them in step.

Numbers people
After dark, months of sets and runs turn into charts and data-art, and every one of them is drawn from your own training.


Numbers people
You like reading your own charts, and Pro Analytics adds strength scores, a 90-day Form Band and a check on how fast your training load is climbing. Until there is enough data, the free Kinoku Score shows a learning state instead of a made-up number.

After a session Kinoku suggests up to 6 share looks that fit what you did, and 8 of its card styles turn your numbers into generative data-art on every plan.

Whichever of these worlds sounds most like your week, Kinoku starts free, and Pro stays the one optional extra.
