Features

All features of the nocardio.fit app – explained.

Getting started

nocardio is a strength-training tracker that runs in the browser on any device. Here's how to begin:

  • Sign in with Google – done, no lengthy account setup.
  • Pick a training plan (a ready-made template) or create your own.
  • Start a workout and log your sets.
  • Follow your progress in Statistics and Weight.

Training & plans

Creating plans

A plan consists of training days, and each day of exercises. For every exercise you set:

  • The number of sets and the target rep range.
  • Optionally a starting weight and the rest time per set.
  • Optional notes (e.g. technique cues).

One plan is »active«. From the active plan, the dashboard automatically suggests your next training day – based on what you trained most recently (the days rotate).

Templates

Templates are ready-made training plans by nocardio – matched to your (optionally provided) gender. You can preview a template and adopt it as your own plan. After that it's yours and fully editable.

Running a workout

  • Tap »Start workout« on the dashboard – the upcoming day opens.
  • Enter reps and weight for each set and mark the set as done.
  • The next set is pre-filled automatically with the values of the completed set.
  • Weight 0 means body weight (e.g. pull-ups).
  • The rest timer starts automatically – add +30 s or skip it.
  • When finished, tap »Finish workout« for a summary.

Workouts also work offline: your entries are stored locally and sync automatically once you're back online.

Sharing

You can share both a finished workout and a whole training plan.

Share a workout: after finishing a workout, tap »Share«. nocardio creates an image with your key stats (volume, sets, duration) that you can post directly to Instagram, WhatsApp, X & co.

Share a plan via QR: open a plan and tap »Share plan«. You get a QR code and a link. Whoever scans the code or opens the link sees a preview and can adopt the plan as their own with one tap.

The plan is fully contained in the link itself – no data is stored on a server or sent to third parties.

Body-weight tracker

Log your body weight per day. The horizontal day strip shows your entries at a glance – tap a day to see its value.

Avg this week = average of all entries in the current week (Mon–Sun)

The trend next to it is the difference from last week's average – so you see the direction instead of single-day fluctuations.

For 7 days the chart shows individual daily values; for longer ranges it shows the weekly average – which smooths the curve and makes the trend clearer.

Statistics

At the top you choose the period: 7 days, 30 days, 1 year or a custom range. All values refer to this selection. Each metric has an info button (i) with a short explanation.

The overview metrics:

  • Workouts: completed sessions in the period.
  • Sets: number of all recorded sets.
  • Avg duration: average workout length (from start to finish).

Volume = sum of (weight × reps) across all sets

Volume measures your total training load. If it rises over time, you're making progress.

Volume trend: your volume over time, bucketed by day, week or month (depending on the range), with a trend versus the equally long previous period.

Muscle groups: the share of your sets per muscle group as % bars – shows how balanced your training is.

Consistency shows how regularly you train:

  • Workouts per week in the period.
  • Longest streak: the most consecutive days with a workout.
  • Active weeks: weeks in which you trained at least once.

Personal records: per exercise your best weight and best estimated 1RM. Tap an exercise to see its history.

Estimated 1RM = weight × (1 + reps / 30) (Epley formula)

1RM is the weight you could theoretically lift exactly once. It lets you fairly compare sets with different rep counts (e.g. 100 kg × 5 vs. 80 kg × 10).

Dashboard stats

The dashboard shows – matched to your upcoming training day – the progress of exactly that day:

  • Bars: the volume of your recent workouts on that day.
  • Avg volume and avg duration of that day.
  • The number of your previous workouts on that day.

There's also a quick overview (on by default, can be turned off in your profile): volume this week, workouts in the last 30 days, trend versus last week, and your muscle split as a chart.

While there's no data yet, you'll see a preview – the real values appear after your first workout.

Appearance & language

In your profile you choose between light and dark and an accent color. The language (German/English) follows your device first and can be switched anytime.

Install & offline

nocardio runs right in the browser and can be installed as an app on your home screen – no app store. Once loaded, your workout keeps working without internet.
