A little clarity goes a long way.

LiftBud is a strength training tracker from Bud Apps. It connects Programs, Routines, workout logging, History and Progress through your Bud account. Your personal training history is the starting point; coaching products are planned for later.

LiftBud Android is in internal alpha, with access limited to existing internal-alpha distribution. There is no public Google Play download, iOS release or announced public launch date.

Yes. The Web Portal uses the same Bud account and saved training data as LiftBud Android. Sign in with your existing method; you do not need a second account. The portal remains in review, and Facebook sign-in is limited to eligible accounts while its provider app is in development.

The expanded review build includes program planning, active workout logging, the Exercise Library, searchable History, Progress comparisons, Bud AI proposals, Social, messages and account settings. Secure browser access still needs validation before release. The workspace requires an online connection to Bud Core.

The Android candidate supports cached views and queues supported training and Social edits for later synchronization. What you can read depends on what the device has already saved. Some actions require a connection, and synchronization is still being stabilized. A pending local edit is not yet a confirmed server record. The web portal does not offer an offline editing mode.

A disconnected device can show older information until it reconnects, including content whose visibility has changed. Local pending edits may need attention before they can be saved to the server. Independent copies of shared Programs can remain after the source changes. See the Privacy Policy for the storage and sharing details.

The Android implementation includes Bud relationships, posts, comments, likes, direct messages and shared Programs. Shared public Programs can be discovered by other signed-in users and copied independently, including planning notes and targets. Public-post discovery and Saved are supported by the current backend. The expanded web workspace includes these interfaces alongside messages, using the same Bud account.

The portal uses completed sessions and completed sets. Planned targets and unfinished sets are not counted as performed training. Checked zero-load sets count toward sets and reps. Recorded load multiplied by reps gives volume. One-rep-max estimates use the Epley formula; neither volume nor these estimates measure health or training quality.

The web integrations are implemented but await approved provider configuration and browser access. This review build does not offer active provider buttons when they are unconfigured. Email and password use the same Bud account system, but also need a working browser connection.

If you already have a verified private contact for the project, use that channel. A dedicated public support and privacy contact has not yet been confirmed. Do not put passwords, account details, health information or privacy requests in public issue threads.
