What Strand does

Built for the way you actually train.

Most apps handle one discipline well and ignore the rest. Strand is built for the athletes doing all of it in the same week.

Hybrid training

Train for race day.

Race sims, compromised running, EMOMs, AMRAPs and circuits you build yourself. Strand turns your station bests into a predicted race finish time.

Live split timer

Every split. Timed.

Tap Next at each station and Strand records every split, live on your Lock Screen too. Station PBs light up as you beat them.

Readiness

Know when to push.

A daily readiness score from your sleep, HRV and resting heart rate, measured against your own 30-day baseline.

Runs and watch data

Every run, decoded.

GPS route, pace and km splits with audio cues and a live Lock Screen view. Runs from Apple Watch, Garmin and more come in through Apple Health or Health Connect, with time in every heart-rate zone.

Gym log

Log every lift.

180+ exercises, routines in folders, sets you tick off live, and personal records spotted for you.

Nutrition

Fuel your training.

Search 240,000+ foods or scan a barcode and it logs itself. Save meals and recipes, and set your own macro split.

Questions, answered.

What is Strand?
Strand is a training log and fitness app for hybrid athletes. Gym sessions, GPS runs, swims, hybrid circuits and nutrition all live in one app instead of being split across separate tools, so your training reads as one picture.
What's new in Strand 1.0.2?
Version 1.0.2 (October 2026) adds hybrid training with race sims, compromised running, EMOM, AMRAP and your own circuits, run live with a split timer that records every split. It also adds a daily readiness score from your watch data, heart-rate zones on every session, Home Screen widgets on iPhone, a food database of 240,000+ foods, recipes and saved meals, routines in folders, a community hub, profiles with private accounts and finding friends from your contacts.
Who is Strand for?
People who train across more than one discipline in the same week. If you lift and run, lift and swim, train for a hybrid fitness race, or do all of it, most apps only handle one part properly. Strand is built for the overlap.
Can Strand time a hybrid race simulation?
Yes. Pick a race sim, EMOM, AMRAP or one of your own circuits and run it live. Tap Next at each station and Strand records every split, shows the timer on your Lock Screen, and highlights station PBs. Afterwards it predicts your race finish time from your station bests. Strand is not affiliated with HYROX or any race organiser. Read our guide to timing a race sim.
What is the readiness score?
Each day Strand gives you a readiness score from your sleep, heart rate variability (HRV) and resting heart rate, compared with your own 30-day baseline. It needs a watch or ring that writes those measurements to Apple Health or Health Connect.
Does Strand track runs with GPS?
Yes. Start a run and Strand tracks distance, pace and time with GPS, even with your phone locked. Set a distance or time goal, get audio cues every kilometre, and follow the run live on your Lock Screen: a Live Activity on iPhone and a live notification on Android. Afterwards every run has its route map, km splits, heart rate and calories. Treadmill mode covers indoor runs.
Can I scan food barcodes to count calories?
Yes. Scan a barcode and the food logs itself with calories and macros filled in, or search a database of more than 240,000 foods. You can save meals, build recipes, set your own macro split and track protein, carbs and fat alongside your training.
Does Strand sync with Apple Watch, Garmin or Whoop?
Yes, through your phone's health app. Connect Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android and Strand imports the runs, swims and gym sessions your watch records, including Apple Watch, Garmin and WHOOP, with heart rate, heart-rate zones and calories. On iPhone, sessions you record in Strand also save back to Apple Health. There is no direct Strava integration, and Strand is not affiliated with any of these brands.
Does Strand have widgets?
On iPhone, yes: Strand has Home Screen widgets that show your training at a glance. Widgets are not available on Android yet.
What does Strand cost?
Starter is free and covers gym, run, swim and hybrid logging, GPS run tracking, the live split timer, food search and barcode scanning, automatic personal records, full training history, water tracking, Repeat last, friends, the feed and the weekly leaderboard. Plus is £7.99 a month or £49.99 a year and adds progress charts for every exercise and photo posts. Pro is £12.99 a month or £99.99 a year and adds the race predictor, 90-day recovery trends, the trophy cabinet, a monthly recap, the weekly report, training load warnings and insights. Pro starts with a 7-day free trial on iPhone and Android. Prices are shown in your local currency in the app.
Is Strand on iPhone and Android?
Both. Strand is available on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android. Download it free and upgrade to Plus or Pro whenever you are ready.
What is a hybrid training app?
A hybrid training app tracks strength and endurance training together, so lifting, running and swimming sit in one log instead of separate apps. That matters because the sessions affect each other: a heavy leg day changes how your next run should go. Strand is built around that overlap. Read more in our guide to hybrid training.
Can I sign up with Google or Apple?
Yes. You can create a Strand account with Google, with Apple, or with an email and password, either in the app or on this website. It is the same account everywhere.
