What is it?

wger is a free workout and fitness manager that lets you plan training routines with automatic weight progression rules, log diet plans, body weight and custom measurements, and keep a photo gallery of your progress.

Nutrition tracking uses a food database from Open Food Facts for calorie logging. The project also includes a built-in exercise catalogue that users can browse and contribute to, plus basic multi-user features for gym management.

You can self-host it with Docker Compose, use the REST API for integrations, or use the official Android, iOS, F-Droid and Flathub apps. Translations are handled by the community through Weblate.
