Looking for a
Strong app alternative?
Strong is a brilliant logger. But if you don't actually want to log every set, every weight, every rest, you've been using a tool built for someone else. Baseline picks the workout, runs it, and never asks you to type anything.
A logger only works
if you log.
Strong is the gold standard for tracking gym workouts. But it has one assumption: that you already have a program, that you're doing it consistently, and that you enjoy the data entry between sets. If any of those are false, Strong becomes another empty grid you feel bad about.
It's not a coach. It's a spreadsheet that knows about exercises. Useful if you're a serious lifter. Overkill if you just want to move your body daily.
The session is already built.
Press start.
Baseline isn't a logger. It's a daily session. You don't bring a program, because the program is the app. You don't enter sets, because the system already knows what it gave you. You don't decide what to do today, because today's session is on the home screen the moment you open it.
Bodyweight only. Under 20 minutes. Mobility, strength, and breathwork blended into one. Reads Apple Health activity, so if you had a hard gym day it gives you mobility instead.
Nothing to log.
Today's session is on the home screen.
Press start. Follow the guide. The system already knows what's next.

Today's bodyweight session is already chosen. No program to bring.

A 3D guide walks you through every movement. Nothing to type.

Built-in breathwork. Warm up, cool down, or reset.
Strong vs Baseline.
When Strong is the better choice.
If you train at a gym three or more times a week and you want a clean, fast, well designed logger to track progressive overload, Strong is excellent. There is nothing better at what it does.
Baseline is for the other person. The one who downloaded Strong, logged six sessions, then opened it once a month. If logging is a chore, the answer isn't a better logger. It's an app that doesn't need one.
Strong vs Baseline.
Is Baseline a good Strong app alternative?
If you want a daily workout without logging every set, Baseline is a Strong app alternative designed around that. The session is built for you, there is nothing to log, and it includes mobility and breathwork that Strong doesn't cover.
Do I need to bring my own program to Baseline?
No. Strong requires you to bring your own program and log every set. Baseline builds today's session for you. You press start and follow the guide.
Does Baseline include mobility and breathwork?
Yes. Every Baseline session blends mobility, bodyweight strength, and breathwork in under 20 minutes. Strong is a workout logger with no mobility or breathwork content.
