ricBod

A private training log for one person.

ricBod is a personal iOS strength-and-conditioning app. It is not sold, not published to the App Store, and has exactly one user — its developer.

Personal use only

What the app does

ricBod plans and records lifting sessions and cardio work. It tracks per-muscle training volume, estimates recovery, prescribes the next session's loads, and keeps a history of personal records. Everything lives on the device.

Workout logging — sets, reps, load, RPE, rest timers, session notes
Cardio logging — rowing, cycling, running, elliptical, with time/distance entry
A per-muscle recovery model that drives the next workout's prescription
Imports from Apple Health and Garmin

Why it wants Oura access

Recovery is currently inferred from training load alone. Oura supplies the missing half: sleep quality, readiness, HRV, and resting heart rate. Those readings feed the same recovery model that decides whether to push or back off on a given day.

Data flows one direction only — ricBod reads from Oura. It never writes to your Oura account and never posts anything on your behalf.

Scopes requested

personal: Basic profile needed to associate readings with the account
daily: Daily sleep, readiness, and activity summaries
heartrate: Resting heart rate and HRV trends

Oura data is fetched directly from Oura's API to the device. There is no ricBod server, no backend, and no third party sitting between the two.
