Announcing OpenLift – The Open Source Fitness Tracker
We are thrilled to introduce OpenLift – an open-source fitness tracking application built to help you track your workouts, monitor your progress, and stay motivated on your fitness journey!
Why OpenLift?
OpenLift is not just another fitness app — it's an open-source project designed with flexibility and control in mind. Most fitness apps lock you into subscriptions, limited features, and rigid data structures. With OpenLift, you have complete control over your data, your tracking methods, and your setup.
✅ Self-Hosting Made Easy
OpenLift is designed for self-hosting using Docker, making it easy to deploy and run on your own hardware. This ensures that you own your data — no third-party servers involved.
🏋️♂️ Workout Tracking
Track your workouts effortlessly:
- Record weights, reps, and intensity levels.
- Add notes to track progress or reminders.
- View historical data to monitor improvements over time.
🖼️ Image Upload Support
Attach images to your workouts — whether it’s progress photos, workout form analysis, or just inspiration. OpenLift allows you to store and retrieve these images securely.
🔐 Secure & Private
OpenLift supports authentication using JWT, ensuring secure access to your data. Sensitive information is encrypted, and you have complete control over permissions.
🌐 Web-Based Interface
Built with React and Fastify, OpenLift provides a clean and intuitive web interface accessible from any device.
📊 Performance Tracking & Analytics
Detailed stats and progress charts help you measure improvements and stay motivated.
Built for the Community, by the Community
OpenLift is 100% open source. The project is hosted on GitHub, and we welcome contributions from the community! Whether you want to add a new feature, fix a bug, or improve the documentation — we’d love to have you involved.
