Wodder vs. Strong
Strong is a great logbook.Wodder is a coach.
Strong tracks your lifts. Wodder tracks your training — every pillar, by voice, with a plain-English read on what you're skipping. If you only lift, Strong is great. If you train like an athlete, read on.
Free forever. No card required.
The core difference
Tap, or talk.
Strong asks for your phone between every set. Wodder asks for your voice — live during the workout, or in a sentence at the end. The difference is where your attention lives while you're training.
Strong
Phone in your hand, between every set.
You open the app, load the routine, tap through each set. The log is accurate — but your workout runs on the app's clock, not yours.
Wodder
Phone in your pocket. Wodder listens.
Lift the way you want. Speak live during the workout, or hand over the whole session in a sentence at the end. Wodder reads the weights, reps, pillars, and mileage — and draws the chart.
The Wodder loop
See it. Plan it.Tap through it.
Strong begins at the first set. Wodder begins a week earlier — with a read on where your body is, what it needs, and what the session should look like before you ever pick up the bar.
Credit where it's due
What Strong does well.
Strong has been around a long time. We'd rather tell you what it does well than pretend it doesn't.
Library
Bigger exercise catalog
A decade of lifters has filled it out. Wodder's still catching up on the long tail.
Plate math
Bar-loading calculator
Tap a number, see which plates to load. Useful if you want your phone on the bench.
Apple Watch
First-class Watch app
Log sets from your wrist. We're building this. Strong ships it today.
Why most lifters switch
What Wodder does that Strong can't.
Voice logging
Your phone stays in your pocket.
Speak live while you train, or hand over the whole session in one sentence at the end. No routine-loading, no drop-downs, no tapping between warm-ups and working sets.
Balance detection
It tells you what you're not training.
Strong shows you your bench progression. Wodder shows you that you haven't pulled in three weeks — and suggests the workout that fixes it.
Five pillars
Lifts, cardio, mobility. One app.
Strong is a lift tracker. Wodder tracks push, pull, legs, cardio, and mobility in a single feed — and auto-imports your runs from Garmin.
Coaches and programs
A whole ecosystem, not a spreadsheet.
Find a coach. Enroll in a program. Join a team. Strong keeps your numbers — Wodder connects you to the people and plans behind them.
Side by side
Every row, including the ones we lose.
Shaded rows mark points where Strong still wins. If those are the features you care about most, Strong is the right app.

If you're coming from Strong
Switching takes one sentence.

Pillars fill in as you log. Balance insight activates at five workouts. The first week does the heavy lifting — quietly.
Try Wodder for a week.
If you go back to Strong, we'll understand. Most people don't.
