A training log that tells you the truth.

Why it exists

Most training apps are built to keep you opening them. Streaks that forgive a missed day, numbers that only go up, a nudge every evening. That is a good way to build a habit of using an app, and a poor way to build a habit of training.

This one is built the other way round. If you missed a day, the streak says so. If you logged a session three days late, it is marked as logged late and does not count toward the weekly reward, because logging as you train is the habit worth having. If you lifted in pounds on Monday and kilos on Thursday, the weekly total converts them properly rather than adding two different numbers together.

What it refuses to do

These are not aspirations. Each one is a decision already in the code, and you can check every one of them from inside the app.

• No ads, and no advertising identifier There is no ad network in the app and nothing that reads an advertising ID. That is not a plan for later — there is no ad SDK to switch on.
• Nothing estimated is presented as measured A backdated workout is marked as backdated. An unreadable answer on a coaching form is sent as blank rather than guessed at, because a coach reading “about 80ish” as 80 is worse than reading nothing and asking.
• Your data leaves whenever you want Export the whole history as a CSV. Delete your account and everything in it from inside the app, immediately, without emailing anyone for permission.
• Suggestions you can argue with The load suggestions are a readable rule — add reps, then weight, with a brake when you report a hard set and a deload when you stall. It is called AI in the app and the code says out loud that it is a heuristic. A suggestion about what to put over your own chest should be one you can disagree with.
• Free stays free Logging, the full catalogue, streaks, charts and the leaderboard cost nothing and are not a trial. Paid plans have only ever added things, never fenced off something that was already free.

Who builds it

Citadel Fitness is an independent project, not a company with a support department. Mail sent to it reaches the person who writes the code, which is why the support page promises a reply within seven days rather than a ticket number.

That is also the honest limit. Form check and nutrition coaching are answered by a person, so they have caps and waiting times built in rather than bolted on. Valhalla has limited places for the same reason: an hour is an hour.

Where it is up to

The app is live and free. The paid plans are built, priced and not yet on sale — the pricing page shows what they will cost, published in advance so nothing about them is a surprise later.

What it collects and why is set out in the privacy policy, and the agreement itself in the terms. Both are written to be read rather than to be clicked past.
