Hi, I showed the app to my gf for some stretching exercises suggestions. During my showcase of the app, she thought the exercises color on the calendar looked weird with the app theme that I chose. And indeed I agreed it looks somewhat weird. Why ? The app theme choice is restricted while workout colors are from a color picker which gives in my opinion too much liberty. At lest the end result is cheap if you don't take time custom picking the neat perfect color that matches your current UI color choice. I'd like to suggest creating custom palettes that encapsulate both. For example, a pastelle color palette. And the UI and workout parts would be selected from a pre-defined list. Another one would be retro, vaporware, forest, modern... The idea would be to somewhat restrict the user choice and yet make him feel like the app is more polished with a simple color set that matches. The user could still define or change each one independently like this is the case today of course. I provided a screenshot of what made my gf suggest it, and how it is implemented in an app called Daylio which I think looks great with a simple customization scheme.

When selecting a variation or custom exercise, please keep the default video or include a button to use the original exercise video.

Currently, to master an exercise, you need to reach 30 reps or 60 seconds of hold in one session. For some exercises this is fine, for others it does not make sense; we need to tweak the mastery values so that it's a good goal for every exercise. Since the mastery value will always be different, we'll need to show that value somewhere. I think there are two relevant spots: in the exercise datasheet, on the button that shows how close we are to mastery (and that we click to access the detailed history of that exercise); during a workout Session, in the "Total" section, showing how much more we need to do to master the exercise, or whether it's already mastered. This is the part that will require the most effort in terms of UX/UI design. Note: also take that occasion to use Time instead of Repetitions for exercises where it makes sense (such as a lot of the high reps cardio exercises).

I'm at a desk eight hours a day and like to break up the sitting when I can with quick stretches and movements that I can do while working or without a lot of space in an office environment, like calf raises. Would be great to be able to filter everything for this, or barring that, to be able to ask coach Kal for that type of routine.

Sometimes life gets in the way of regular training and when you get back to it, your level is not what it used to be. With the new Experience profile graphs (coming soon), if you're away from training for a while, that will automatically regress your level. But if you have a sudden drop in your abilities, for example due to an injury, there is no way to ask the app to adapt to that. Besides adapting to your reduced abilities, it could be useful to look back on your injury track record, see how long it took you to recover, identify patterns more easily, ...

It would be great to have the option to set certain parameters for ring‑based exercises, including the mark of the rings. This would work similarly to how the app already lets you select band strength, step height, weight, and other variables. Ideally, the chosen mark would influence the difficulty rating of the exercise. For example, an incline push‑up performed with the rings at mark 8 should register as more difficult than the same exercise at mark 7. Of course, there are other factors that affect difficulty, such as distance from the rings and body angle, but being able to log the mark would already make progression more accurate and intentional. This would make it much easier to track improvements and work towards specific progressions in a structured way.

90° hold, Planche Push-up, Maltese, and some different ring skills like Rings Maltese, Zanetti Press, Victorians, Azaryan Cross, Inverted Cross, etc...

Please add a grouping feature for routines, (folders, sections or tags), that I can add my routines into. I’d like to create and name a folder, then add routines into that folder. By default the folder would be collapsed and opened by pressing on the folder/section. Alternatively I could add tags inside the routine, and have those tags appear in the sorting drop down menu in the Routines section. I have routines for calisthenics skills, weights, etc (and routines I do with specific people) and would love to easily group and view those routines.

It would be handy to get timer notifications to a watch. I don’t use headphones at the gym and have my phone on silent, but it’s a bit hard to see the timer sometimes when you’re folded in half. The phone haptics are ok but I often miss those too. Not looking for any other features just a buzz in the wrist when the timer is done. Possible?

Hi Louis, I'm a long-time Calistree user from Brazil (@handstand_project) and I'd like to pitch a feature that I believe could benefit a lot of your users. Here's how I use the app today. I run a long-term rehab and skill project (handstand, front lever) with documented shoulder and hip issues, and Calistree is my single source of truth — every session, every load, every note. On top of that, I use Claude (Anthropic's AI assistant) as a training advisor: it tracks load progressions across weeks, watches for recurring pain signals in my notes, enforces progression criteria (e.g., two clean sessions before adding weight), and maintains a longitudinal training log. The friction is the bridge between the two: today it's manual PDF exports, one session at a time. The PDFs lose structure (custom exercise labels, units), and doing a monthly trend review means feeding a stack of files into the AI by hand. The idea: a Calistree MCP server. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard — created by Anthropic and since adopted across the industry, including OpenAI and Google — that lets apps expose data to AI assistants in a structured way. A read-only server with a handful of endpoints would already cover the core use case: list workouts by date range exercise history (sets, reps, load, notes) for a given exercise personal records and streaks With that in place, any user could connect their training history to their AI of choice and ask things like "how has my bench progressed over the last 8 weeks?" or "flag every exercise where my reps dropped at the same load." For self-coached athletes and coaches alike, that turns Calistree into the data layer of their whole training stack — which I'd expect to be a real differentiator and a retention driver, since the value of the logged history compounds over time. I'd be happy to beta test and share my workflow in detail if that's useful. Thanks for the great app, Rodrigo B. Uehara @handstand_project
