What's new with Often

Often 1.0

We're in TestFlight.

Often started from a simple frustration of mine: most fitness apps are designed for people who want guidance. As a result, they we're too rigid. They try to coach you through every decision.

I'm the type of person who watches YouTube videos, observes what other people are doing, researches different approaches, and then builds my own routines around my own goals. I genuinely enjoy the process of creating and refining my own training.

So I created Often to support that experience: a workspace for building and planning workouts quickly, without all the unnecessary tips, recommendations, and coaching prompts.

Our goal is simple: create the fastest and most flexible workout builder for people who prefer to coach themselves.

We're still early, but we're excited to share what we're building. Here's a look at where Often is today.
