Features
All features of the nocardio.fit app – explained.
Getting started
nocardio is a strength-training tracker that runs in the browser on any device. Here's how to begin:
- Sign in with Google – done, no lengthy account setup.
- Pick a training plan (a ready-made template) or create your own.
- Start a workout and log your sets.
- Follow your progress in Statistics and Weight.
Training & plans
Creating plans
A plan consists of training days, and each day of exercises. For every exercise you set:
- The number of sets and the target rep range.
- Optionally a starting weight and the rest time per set.
- Optional notes (e.g. technique cues).
One plan is »active«. From the active plan, the dashboard automatically suggests your next training day – based on what you trained most recently (the days rotate).
Templates
Templates are ready-made training plans by nocardio – matched to your (optionally provided) gender. You can preview a template and adopt it as your own plan. After that it's yours and fully editable.
Running a workout
- Tap »Start workout« on the dashboard – the upcoming day opens.
- Enter reps and weight for each set and mark the set as done.
- The next set is pre-filled automatically with the values of the completed set.
- Weight 0 means body weight (e.g. pull-ups).
- The rest timer starts automatically – add +30 s or skip it.
- When finished, tap »Finish workout« for a summary.
Workouts also work offline: your entries are stored locally and sync automatically once you're back online.
Sharing
You can share both a finished workout and a whole training plan.
Share a workout: after finishing a workout, tap »Share«. nocardio creates an image with your key stats (volume, sets, duration) that you can post directly to Instagram, WhatsApp, X & co.
Share a plan via QR: open a plan and tap »Share plan«. You get a QR code and a link. Whoever scans the code or opens the link sees a preview and can adopt the plan as their own with one tap.
The plan is fully contained in the link itself – no data is stored on a server or sent to third parties.
Body-weight tracker
Log your body weight per day. The horizontal day strip shows your entries at a glance – tap a day to see its value.
Avg this week = average of all entries in the current week (Mon–Sun)
The trend next to it is the difference from last week's average – so you see the direction instead of single-day fluctuations.
For 7 days the chart shows individual daily values; for longer ranges it shows the weekly average – which smooths the curve and makes the trend clearer.
Statistics
At the top you choose the period: 7 days, 30 days, 1 year or a custom range. All values refer to this selection. Each metric has an info button (i) with a short explanation.
The overview metrics:
- Workouts: completed sessions in the period.
- Sets: number of all recorded sets.
- Avg duration: average workout length (from start to finish).
Volume = sum of (weight × reps) across all sets
Volume measures your total training load. If it rises over time, you're making progress.
Volume trend: your volume over time, bucketed by day, week or month (depending on the range), with a trend versus the equally long previous period.
Muscle groups: the share of your sets per muscle group as % bars – shows how balanced your training is.
Consistency shows how regularly you train:
- Workouts per week in the period.
- Longest streak: the most consecutive days with a workout.
- Active weeks: weeks in which you trained at least once.
Personal records: per exercise your best weight and best estimated 1RM. Tap an exercise to see its history.
Estimated 1RM = weight × (1 + reps / 30) (Epley formula)
1RM is the weight you could theoretically lift exactly once. It lets you fairly compare sets with different rep counts (e.g. 100 kg × 5 vs. 80 kg × 10).
Dashboard stats
The dashboard shows – matched to your upcoming training day – the progress of exactly that day:
- Bars: the volume of your recent workouts on that day.
- Avg volume and avg duration of that day.
- The number of your previous workouts on that day.
There's also a quick overview (on by default, can be turned off in your profile): volume this week, workouts in the last 30 days, trend versus last week, and your muscle split as a chart.
While there's no data yet, you'll see a preview – the real values appear after your first workout.
Appearance & language
In your profile you choose between light and dark and an accent color. The language (German/English) follows your device first and can be switched anytime.
