Calisthenics skill tracker

Fifteen seconds is longer than you think.

Every other app counts sets, reps and weight, then asks you to squeeze a front lever into that shape. HoldLINE counts the hold. Fifteen clean seconds at bodyweight is a long time when nothing is moving, and the app tracks the number you actually hold.

Built by a calisthenics athlete with ten years on the bar, not by a product team that read about it.

Coming to the App Store. Android follows.

Press and hold.
Let's see what happens.

of 15.0s

Fifteen seconds, with nothing moving. Most people are sure they made it and let go at four.

The difference

Almost nothing on the market is built for calisthenics.

There is barely an app made for calisthenics athletes: one where you can track and measure the skills themselves, and still log the basic gym work when you decide to isolate a muscle. Everything else counts sets, reps and weight, which describes a bench press well and a planche not at all.

A typical gym app built for regular exercises

0 calisthenics skills with a ladderThey sit in a list next to the leg press, in no particular order.
0 stages to work throughAdding 2.5 kg is the only progression it understands.
No timer for a holdYou hold, you guess, you type it into the set notes and lose it.
Load and support become one numberA band that helps and a band that fights both end up as "assisted".
One metric that counts: weightFor a skill you hold, that curve stays flat and tells you nothing.
Nothing to compare over timeThe hold was never recorded as a number to begin with.
Goals and workouts you build yourselfThis part they do well, and there is no reason to pretend otherwise.

The Planche screen: hold timer, camera mode, grip, equipment and load

In your hand

The whole app is the set you are in.

Pick the skill, pick the stage, pick what you are holding onto. Floor, parallettes, p-bars or rings are not the same hold, and palms down is not palms up, so the app records which it was. Add weight or add a band, and it keeps those two apart instead of adding them up.

Then you press start, and the only thing left to do is hold still.

Who built this

Ten years of training, and I was still guessing.

Not about the training itself. About where I stood. Which progression I was on, what my last clean hold actually was, whether my form had improved or only my confidence.

I understood late how much that costs. In a sport where the form has to be exact and the progressions have to come in order, planning is half the job. The other half is tracking what happened, reading it, and adjusting the next session.

I am from Hungary. I trained in Austria, then Spain, and for the last two years in Copenhagen. Everywhere I looked for an app that could keep up with that, and everywhere I ended up with sets, reps and weight. So I built the one I was looking for.

That is the whole story. Let's grow together and level up.

Beta

Built by someone who has been on the bar for ten years.

HoldLINE comes out of training practice, not a product workshop. The fifteen second line, the band rules and the readiness check are how the progression actually works, written down. The beta opens to a small group first.
