Before you switch

Fitness apps are personal — the best one is the one you’ll actually open. Check whether the app exports your data in standard formats so you’re never locked in. Self-hosted or offline-first options keep your health data private, which matters more than most people think.

Like every project on OpenShelf, wger is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
