Strong Alternative
Strong's tracker, with a coach.
And a web app.
The Strong app alternative for lifters who want a clean tracker plus periodised programming. Same speed of logging, now on mobile and desktop, with unlimited routines for free and AI coaching layered on when you want it.
The Strong user who switches
Strong is beloved for a reason. The iOS UI is as fast as any set-entry interface ever built. If you lift, you log, you stop, Strong is a near-perfect app for that loop.
The switchers tend to be people who have outgrown the loop. They have been lifting for a while, they want to add running or cycling, they want something that writes the next program instead of copying a PDF into Strong's routine builder, or they want to log on desktop during planning time. That is where Pelaris earns the switch.
Our goal is not to be Strong plus bloat. It is to be Strong's tracking experience with an optional coach, an optional body analysis module, and an optional methodology-driven program you can turn on when you are ready.

Clean log, richer layers
The tracker stays out of the way. The coach, methodology, and body analysis are separate tabs you visit when you want them.
