Roadmap highlighting key achievements, milestones, and future plans for the OpenLift project.
Nutrition Tracking & Recipe BuilderUpcoming
We plan to let every athlete log meals, get automatic calorie calculations, and build custom recipes as part of a full nutrition workflow.
Open-Source Launch Preparation BeginsUpcoming
We begin a gradual repository cleanup and standardization effort so we can complete the open-source launch by April.
Public Self-Hosting Build ReleasedUpcoming
We plan to release a public build for self-hosting enthusiasts.
Android Release Targeted for Google PlayUpcoming
After the New Year, we start work on the Android version and aim to publish it to the Google Play Store by the end of the month.
App Store Review Pending (EU DSA Compliance)
We are awaiting Apple’s review for EU DSA compliance approval. The app is live on the App Store, but the production environment is not yet functional.
First App Store Submission (iOS)
We submitted the first iOS build to the App Store.
Staging Server Live for Discord Feedback
We brought up our own server, deployed the current build, and opened access to our Discord group for feedback.
Training Library Expanded
We invested heavily in the exercise, workout, and program database, surpassing 1,400 exercises, 11 programs, and 50+ workout templates.
Workout Logging Refactor Completed
We delivered a full redesign of workout logging and a richer feedback submission flow, letting users share detailed input in the way that is easiest for them.
Advanced Workout & Exercise Analytics
We added comprehensive metrics to every exercise and workout, giving users a full view of their performance and current status.
Measurements & Goals Service Launched
We shipped a new service for daily body measurements and goal tracking, including formulas that automatically calculate a wide range of body metrics.
Progression Playbook v2 Released
We automated progression logic so users can choose when and how to progress, including deload rules. We also added a large library of playbooks covering core scenarios like Progressive Overload, plus advanced templates like GZCL and 5/3/1 that now work with any program.
Permissions & Roles Added
We introduced permissions and roles so each user can have granular access to every feature.
MongoDB + Isar Migration Completed
We completed the full migration to MongoDB and Isar, then shifted focus back to shipping new features.
Backend & Mobile Refactor Initiated
Strong progress on the mobile app surfaced growing limitations with the SQL database. We kicked off a backend rewrite to MongoDB and began a deep Flutter refactor, migrating the app from Hive to Isar.
Web App Retired, Flutter Rewrite Initiated
The web app had grown too large and cumbersome, and even after fixes it would have faced long-term scalability issues. We retired the frontend and began a full rewrite in Flutter.
