Kinoku

One app, one optional extra

The free plan
is the app.

Kinoku brings workouts, runs, steps, and your own activities together in one private app. Pro is the one optional extra for people who want more, so nothing basic sits behind a paywall, and Google Play handles billing and local prices.

The short answer

Choose in one minute

Kinoku Free Stats screen populated with fictional sample training data.

Stay Free if...

FREE

A complete training app with good defaults, not a teaser.

The optional extra

For people who want more depth, though the app works without it. Someone who logs every session, keeps every routine, and never opens Pro Analytics pays nothing at all.

The one optional extra

Pro

Deeper analysis, recovery signals, and the smart layer, if you want more than the basics.

No tricks

The free plan is a complete app.

Kinoku's core training record runs on your phone. That keeps the free plan useful from day one: real logging, planning, history, and runs without a server bill attached to every session.

  • +Zero ads, on every tier.
  • +Workouts, routines, history, and runs have no caps.
  • +No countdown clocks, no fake deadlines. Eligible new yearly customers can get a 14-day trial, and Google Play shows the renewal price before purchase.
  • +The app never blocks workout saving or interrupts the recap. After some workouts, Today may show one occasional, dismissible Pro discovery card.
  • +Want to try the paid layer? Train often and the Rewards system grants Pro time. No card.

How does this stay alive? People who want the deeper layer pay for it. That funds everything else.

The full promise, in writing →

A few notes

  • + Google Play handles billing and shows the price in your local currency.
  • + Pro leads with the yearly price, and monthly is a lighter option.
  • + Eligible new customers can start yearly Pro with a 14-day free trial. Google Play confirms eligibility before purchase.
  • + Pro also has a quiet one-time Lifetime buy, not the default pick.
