Lyftr

Lyftr delivers a self-hosted workout and nutrition tracker that runs on a small VPS — no subscriptions, no vendor lock-in, no "export is a Pro feature" paywalls. The Go backend with Gin framework provides JWT authentication and a REST API while storing everything in a single SQLite database file you can back up with one copy command. The exercise library ships with 800+ movements auto-seeded on first run, letting you build reusable workout programs with target sets, reps, and weights from day one. Active workout mode provides a guided set-by-set flow through your session while Gym Mode offers a full-screen card layout showing one exercise at a time with an integrated rest timer for focused training. The React frontend built with TypeScript and Tailwind delivers a mobile-first interface featuring a dashboard with weekly session KPIs, daily calorie and protein tracking, 12-week consistency heatmap, volume trend charts, and muscle balance visualization with sparklines. Nutrition tracking connects to Open Food Facts for food search with camera-based barcode scanning, logging calories and macros across customizable meal sections. Bodyweight logging with trend graphs supports both lbs and kg units across all data. An Android APK connects to your self-hosted instance for native mobile access. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
