New in version 2.6.0
- A session can be removed from the journal, XP included.
- Hold a + or - button and it repeats, faster over time.
- Turning off animations in Android now applies at once.
- Tablets and foldables keep one readable column.
- Bigger tap targets and stronger contrast.
- Installed by hand? Bati can tell you when a new
version is out. Off by default.
- A restore first saves a copy of your current data.
Train like a hero, build like a king.
Bati turns strength training into a dark-fantasy RPG. A workout is a quest. Reps land as damage on a boss. The muscles you actually work raise the buildings of a village that grows out of what you lifted, not out of what you bought.
SPORT FIRST, RPG SECOND
The training logic leads and the game amplifies it. Nothing decorative gets between you and your next set: large tap targets, high-contrast text, and a screen designed for one hand in a noisy gym.
WHAT YOU GET
• Quests: guided sessions with targets that adapt to your level
• Adventures: multi-session campaigns with a story between steps
• Boss fights: reps become damage; weaknesses and criticals make the numbers mean something
• Outings: walk, run or ride; the ground you cover raises the road out of the village
• A village: buildings level up from the volume you actually logged
• Oaths: pick one goal and let the app hold you to it
• A journal: history, records, your flame, muscle balance
YOUR TRAINING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
No account. No sign-up. No server of ours. No analytics, no ads, no tracking of any kind. Your sessions, your records and the GPS trace of an outing live in a database on your device and nowhere else. Uninstalling the app destroys every record it ever made.
One exception, off by default: the map behind an outing's route. Switched on in Settings, the phone asks OpenFreeMap (OpenStreetMap data, served from tiles.openfreemap.org) for tiles, the square images a map is made of, covering the place where you went. That request tells the host roughly where you were, with your IP address and the time. Not the route to the metre, not the pace, not the training, not who you are, but the area, yes. Off, or switched off again with one tap, the route is drawn on a plain background and the app makes no network request at all. No other part of the app is allowed to open a connection: a lint rule fails the build if a network call appears anywhere in the code.
Location is read only while an outing is running, by a GPS module written for this app against Android's own location service. No Google Play Services, no third-party SDK, nothing that phones home.
The map is the one switch, and it starts off. Everything else above is the architecture, checked at build time.
BODYWEIGHT FIRST
The exercise catalogue is built around what you can do with no equipment, and adapts if you own some. Warm-ups are dynamic and scaled to the session in front of you, because a five-minute warm-up before a six-minute workout is a warm-up nobody does twice.

- The map moves under your finger, on an outing and on
its recap. A button brings it back to you.
- If your phone blocks Bati's network access, the map
says so and opens the right settings, instead of
staying blank.
