Does anyone here use any Open-Source Workout Trackers? I've been using hevy, but their high fees, the fact that they are a company that holds my health data and has made no commitments to open source, User privacy, or fair trade practices like user data import/export has me looking around. I wanted to see if anyone had reliable open source alternatives.

Tell me your workout tracking stories here! Tell me what you liked and what you disliked.

I think this is the only site they have. I use it with the subscription (I use wearos app) for two years or so, without any issues.

Subscription model is described in the app itsel, as far as I remember.

Once or twice I asked devs a question per email, they answered (not super fast though).

But I agree with you, gymrun.app looks ugly.

I think I found the privacy policy for gymrun.app - on a Google doc linked to from the Garmin connect listing of the app.

Here's the doc link

Thanks for sharing. I tried to read it and found nothing alarming there. I mean, gymrun can export to gdrive and Dropbox, to do so it will need to ask and use an access tokens for these services, to check a subscription status it needs to communicate with Google. probably, to deal with wearos and Garmin watches, to sync with Samsung health app few more permissions are needed.

And obviously, crash reporting needs some info about the device.

Ps: link to the privacy policy is provided in the app "page" in the Google play store as well.
