Strength training,
refined.
Logging that gets out of your way. Auto-progression that knows when to deload. A smart-coach tier that watches your recovery and actually moves the bar weight when you're cooked. Built solo, priced honest.

- Barbell Row+5 lb next95lb
Things no other lifting app does.
Not “first to rebrand a feature.” First to actually do the thing. Verified by going hands-on with every serious strength app we could find.
Moves the bar when you're cooked
Other apps show a readiness score. Hoyst is the first to actually drop your working weight 5–10% on the day, set by set, when sleep + soreness + RPE say you'll grind.
Programs that rewrite themselves
Every 4 weeks the coach reads your data and proposes specific sets/reps changes per lift. One tap mutates your templates. No copy-pasting from a spreadsheet.
Single-frame AI form check
No video pipeline, no 30-second upload. Snap one photo at lockout or the bottom. Get bar path, depth, and the single cue that fixes the most common error.
Cycle-aware progression in a strength app
Period-tracking apps adjust workouts. Strength apps don't. Hoyst is the first strength logger that scales intent across your cycle. Opt-in, fully private, off by default.
No ads. No bloat. Just lifting.
No ads. Ever.
Ads are UX poison in a workout app. Your set timer, your rest screen, your PR moment, none of it ever gets interrupted by a banner. Subscribe or use the free tier. That's the whole deal.
