Open source
Free apps you can read, change and keep
We think software should be free: free to use, to read, to change and to share. Plenty of paid apps and suites can be replaced by open tools that do the same job without a subscription. These two apps started as tools for our own training. They are now open source under the GPL, for anyone to use.
Free to use and change

The apps
BaseMile
A Zone 2 running coach that builds your aerobic base, one easy run at a time.
BaseMile covers the cardio days of the Foundational Fitness week: Long, Medium and Brief runs, coached by heart rate so easy days stay easy, then turned into trends that show your aerobic base growing week by week.
- Long, Medium and Brief runs, with targets from your own heart rate and a MAF ceiling on easy days
- Live heart rate from any standard Bluetooth strap, tested with the Garmin HRM-Dual
- A voice coach that runs on the phone and speaks up when you drift out of zone
- Route maps, pace, MAF trends and training load after every run, with no account and your data kept on the phone

PlateClimb
The Foundational Fitness week from Huberman's Protocols, as a free workout app that runs offline.
PlateClimb runs one 12 week plan built on the weekly structure Andrew Huberman describes in Protocols: legs, torso, and shoulders and arms days between long, medium and intense cardio. Log your sets and it fills in the weights for next time. Your workouts stay on the phone.
- Two six and five week blocks, heavier then higher reps, followed by a week off
- Sets, reps, rest and effort targets for every lift, with swaps when a machine is taken
- Weights filled in from your last session, with a photo and a video link for each exercise
- No account and no server: your workouts stay on your phone
