Kufu puts calisthenics skills and weight training in the same session, not in two different apps. Pull day opens with pull-ups, chest day carries dips, and your handstand has a tree to climb.
Free to start · 7-day Pro trial
Gym apps treat a pull-up as one more row in the log. Calisthenics apps stop at the bar. Kufu programs both halves as equals, so the skill work happens fresh, and the lifting happens after it.
Handstands, levers, L-sit and muscle-ups, as skill blocks at the top of the session, plus pull-ups and dips as main lifts.
Barbell and dumbbell work in five-week cycles, with progressive overload, RPE and deload detection.
Not HYROX. In Kufu, "hybrid" means a calisthenics base combined with weight training, not running plus sleds.
Every exercise can be swapped, removed or reordered. Warm-up and cooldown included.
Every skill is a tree of small steps. A node opens only when you pass its challenge: a timed hold, clean reps, landings out of attempts. Nothing else opens it.
Practising a node logs a real workout, on the iPhone or the Watch.
The coach knows your trees and tells you when a hold you already did in practice is ready to count.
Start from a plan grouped by what it is: Hybrid Push / Pull / Legs and Skills & Lifts, calisthenics-only like Bar & Floor for training without a gym, or gym splits. Or build your own sessions and name them what you call them.
Photograph what you're eating and Kufu lists what's on the plate, with protein and calories for each item. Fix anything that looks off, then log it. Or just type "chicken, rice, broccoli".
Each one is a switch. Turn off what you don't track and it's gone, from the app and from the coach.
The coach reads your log, your plan and your skill trees, so its answers are about your training, not training in general.

On iPhones with Apple Intelligence the coach runs on Apple's own models, on device or on Private Cloud Compute, and every reply says which one answered.
Log a set in one screen: the next set is filled in, the Digital Crown changes the weight. Start on either device, finish on either.
The whole rest on your Lock Screen: the exercise, what to load and how long you have. Skip during a rest, Done to log the set.
Protein and water on the Home Screen, logged with a tap, plus Siri and Shortcuts for logging water, weight and protein.

No. In Kufu, "hybrid" means calisthenics combined with weight training: skill work like handstands and levers, bodyweight strength like pull-ups and dips, and barbell and dumbbell lifts, in the same plan.
No. The calisthenics-only plans need little or nothing. Bar & Floor runs on a pull-up bar and the floor, which makes it good for travel. The hybrid and gym plans assume barbells and dumbbells.
No. The handstand tree starts with a 60-second wall plank hold and builds from there, one challenge at a time. Every node comes with drills to practise for it.
No. Everything works on the iPhone alone. With a Watch you can run the whole workout from your wrist, and a workout started on either device shows up on the other.
Training is free: plans, logging, skill trees, the Watch app, Live Activity and widgets, plus 10 coach messages and 3 AI food scans a week. Pro adds unlimited coach and scans, the cycle and deload logic, exercise rotation, gut health insights and data export. Pro has a 7-day free trial.
Your training, food and body data stays on your iPhone and, if you turn it on, in your own iCloud. There's no Kufu account. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence the coach runs on Apple's models. Otherwise, coach messages and food photos are sent to Google's Gemini through Kufu's server, with no account or identifier attached. Details are in the privacy policy.
No. Kufu is for iPhone and Apple Watch, and it also runs on iPad.
Free to start. Pull day opens with pull-ups.
