Coming soon
On the way
Confirmed features for upcoming updates. Development order is decided as we go, based on feedback and emerging priorities — it's not fixed.
Swipe navigation between routines and exercises
Gesture-based navigation to scroll between routines and between exercises within a routine — no buttons needed.
Planned
Improved search across the app
Better filtering, smarter results, and a more consistent search experience across exercises, plans, and notebook entries.
Planned
Training streak
Consecutive training days tracked automatically, showing your current streak and personal record. A daily reminder of your consistency.
Planned
Improved personal records
Expand the existing PR system with more variety — rep PRs, volume PRs, estimated 1RM milestones, and richer contextual information per record.
Planned
Notebook calendar with notes
Monthly calendar view in the notebook section. Tap a day to add free notes, tags, or link it to the logged session.
Planned
Expanded progress charts
New chart types (total volume, reps, frequency), period comparison, and a richer view of your progress over time.
Planned
Tracking graphs improvements
General improvements to progress graphs including better filters, more chart varieties, and clearer visual feedback on trends.
Planned
Workout timer on notification bar and lock screen
The workout timer stays visible even when the phone is locked or you're using another app. No need to reopen GymPal to check.
Planned
Quick routine builder — bulk editing
Build or edit an entire routine in a few steps without opening each exercise individually. Ideal for those who create new programs often.
Planned
Under evaluation
Confirmed ideas, timing TBD
Features we want to build, but that require more design work or depend on how the product evolves.
Body measurements tracking
Log body weight, circumferences and other measurements over time, with charts integrated in the progress section for a complete picture of physical changes.
Under evaluation
AI-assisted routine generator
Enter your goals, available days, equipment and experience level — the app suggests a tailored routine ready to use or customise.
Under evaluation
Light theme and accent colour picker
Light mode support alongside the current dark theme, with the option to choose a custom accent colour from a curated selection.
Under evaluation
Supersets
Perform two exercises back to back with no rest in between, then take a single recovery break before repeating.
Under evaluation
Exercise history details
For each exercise, quickly see past sets, reps, total volume, and other key numbers in one place.
Under evaluation
Routine tracking chart
A weekly grouped chart with one bar per routine day and total volume on the Y axis.
Under evaluation
Live workout insights
During training, get simple suggestions like increasing the load if your progress has been flat for a few weeks.

Future
On the radar — no timeline
Ambitious features or ones that depend on infrastructure not yet in place. Some are intended for a future premium plan.
Custom dashboard
Build your own home screen with the charts and data that matter most to you, arranged however you like.
Premium
Routine analysis
Automatic report on sets per muscle group, push/pull ratio, weekly volume distribution and imbalance alerts.
Premium
Notebook export
Export notes, sessions and data as PDF or CSV — useful for sharing with a coach or keeping a readable backup outside the app.
Premium
Cloud sync and optional account
Account to sync data across devices with automatic backup. Offline mode will always remain available without registration.
Future
Social features — share routines and progress
Share a routine with a friend or show your progress as a card on social media. Possible integrations with external platforms under consideration.
Future

Your feedback shapes the priorities.

We're in beta and every report — a bug, an idea, something that doesn't feel right — goes directly on the list. Write freely, no specific format needed.
