July 27, 2026 🚀 I just launched Don't Over Train — a free workout tracker focused on recovery

Hi everyone! 👋

Today I'm launching Don't Over Train, a free workout tracker built for people who want to train smarter—not just harder.

Most workout apps focus on logging exercises, but very few help you answer a simple question:

"Is this muscle group actually ready to train again?"

That's the problem I wanted to solve.

Version 1 includes:

✅ Quick workout logging

✅ Muscle group recovery tracking

✅ Exercise history

✅ No account required (Guest Mode)

✅ Google Sign-In for cloud sync

✅ Installable as a PWA

✅ Completely free

I'm a designer by profession, and this is one of the first products I've built from idea to launch. There are still many features I want to add, and I'm looking for honest feedback from the Indie Hackers community.

I'd love to know:

• What feature is missing?

• What would make you use this every week?

• Any UX or design improvements?

Thanks for checking it out! 🚀

    I like that you’re framing the product around recovery rather than just another workout log. It changes the question from “What did I train today?” to “What should I train next?”, which feels much more actionable.

    Have you found users naturally trust the recovery recommendations, or do they still rely mostly on how they feel before deciding whether to train a muscle group?

    The interesting part of Don't Over Train is shifting fitness from tracking workouts to understanding readiness.

    How are you thinking about proving that recovery awareness actually improves consistency and long-term adherence compared with traditional workout logging apps?

About

I built Don't Over Train because I realized that many people track their workouts but almost nobody tracks their recovery. As a gym enthusiast, I often found myself wondering whether a muscle group was actually ready to
