What is Visin?
Visin is a free fitness and nutrition app for iPhone and Android. It brings strength training, HIIT and intervals, GPS running and cycling, calories and macros, recipes, weight, sleep and steps together in one app, and sums all of it up once a week in a report. It is available in German and English and is not funded by advertising.
Who it is for
For people tracking more than one thing: lifting and watching what they eat, running and keeping an eye on weight. Anyone who only wants to track a single thing can do that too — no part of the app requires another part to be filled in.
The areas in detail
Training
Strength training with sets, reps, weight, a rest timer and automatically detected personal records. HIIT and interval workouts with guided blocks. An exercise library with images and video demonstrations. Routines and multi-day training plans.
Outdoors
GPS running and cycling with route, pace, kilometre splits, elevation gain and auto-pause; recording continues with the screen locked.
Nutrition
Calories and macros from a photo of the meal, a barcode scan, a search or one of your own recipes. Recipes can be imported, shared and logged with nutrition calculated per serving.
Body
Weight and sleep are entered by hand or come from Apple Health or Google Health Connect; steps are read from there.
Analysis
A weekly report brings workouts, calories, protein, weight trend and sleep together and singles out one concrete next action rather than stacking numbers.
Together
Connect with friends and see the workouts they share in a feed. Recipes, routines, interval workouts and training plans can be shared by link and are readable in a browser without the app.
How Visin works
The app is offline-first: entries land on the device first and sync afterwards, so a dead spot in the gym costs nothing. The look can be changed with colour themes and fonts, light and dark. Permissions are asked for where they are needed — the camera in the scanner, location when an outdoor session starts.
Name and pronunciation
The app is called Visin, pronounced "vee-sin". It is unrelated to similar-sounding brands in other categories. On the web it lives at visin.fit.
