Where it's headed

Roadmap.

An honest look at where Kinoku is headed, in broad strokes and with no dates. Only work that is already built, and coming in the next update, gets named feature by feature. For what has actually shipped, the place to look is the changelog.

In build

Now

The themes most of the work goes into right now.

Kinoku on iPhone

Kinoku runs on Android only today, and work on an iPhone version is starting now. The first iPhone release covers the core of the app: logging workouts, routines, programs, history and records, plus import from Strong and Hevy. GPS runs, Apple Watch and other features follow in later updates, and what is free on Android will be free on iPhone too. Android keeps getting updates while this is built.

Muscle figures you can inspect

The muscle figures are rough guides, and we are adding a source review for common gym moves. It will link the studies, show what they checked and leave gaps in plain sight. The review adds context for muscle roles; it does not prove each number.

A move for every exercise

Body view on the website gathers the stars into a human figure, and a card can play a hand-made sketch of a move. The first library covers gym moves, with the website ahead of the app port. Each sketch shows a move's shape without coaching form; exercises without a fit keep their muscle map. More moves and a choice of body type follow later.

Next up

Next

Where the work is headed next, in broad themes and with no dates.

Sharpening the everyday

The parts of Kinoku you touch every day should feel fast and calm. Today now leads with one answer instead of five cards competing for the slot, and you can edit a set without leaving the screen. What is left is speed as your history grows, and clearer words on the screens that still say too much.

Cardio that counts everywhere

Running and other cardio should count across the whole app, not only on their own screens. Swims, classes, rowing and mobility sessions now feed your training form. The part left is your body map, where a hard run still counts for nothing.

Intelligence that stays optional

More quiet help that spots things you might miss, always as a hint you can ignore. It adds to your training and never takes over. Any of it that needs a network stays off until you turn it on.

More ways to make it yours

Kinoku should look and work the way you want. Recently that meant a new free theme, a light and dark switch, and a bottom bar you pick yourself. Next comes more control over what each screen shows you, and over what Kinoku keeps on your device.

A simple food log

Kinoku has no food log today, and the first one will be simple and free. You log a meal by name with its calories and protein, save the meals you eat often, and log them again with one tap. You set your own daily goals, which can differ on training days and rest days, and charts show how your days add up next to your weight. It starts without a food database, so you enter the numbers yourself, and a food list or a barcode scan may come later.

Shipped

Recently shipped

Kinoku ships small updates often, and the changelog lists every one of them newest first, with the bigger wins called out at the top.

How this roadmap works

No dates

Kinoku is built by one person, so a date would be a guess. Things ship when they're ready and tested across themes, languages, and database upgrades.

Direction, not promises

This page shows where things are headed in broad strokes. The specifics get worked out closer to when they ship, and anything here can change or drop.

No voting

If you want something, tell me why, because the reason helps more than a vote.

Offline-first stays

Core tracking works offline and without a Kinoku account. Kinoku may contact Remote Config for promotional access when the app starts, and other network features connect when you use or enable them. No Kinoku server holds your training history; eligible app data may still enter Android system backup in your Google account.
