Kohlrabi is in beta and updates often. Here are the highlights, what's coming next, and the quickest way to tell us when something breaks. Report a bug. Last updated November 6, 2026.
v2.7 · Coming soonLatest
These changes are in testing and reach the app soon.
Kohlrabi Coach has a new layout: Today, Clients, Programs and More. Coaches try it free with no card, and clients join in three short screens.
Add a client in one sheet. A client can train in person, be free, or pay you outside the app. Pausing a client pauses their billing.
Coach updates stay your call. If you changed an exercise, tap Keep my changes and the update works around it.
Paste a spreadsheet into Coach and 5/3/1 notation like 85%x5+ is read as written. RIR programs stay in RIR.
Start from a bigger library of ready-made programs, including Arnold, Mentzer and Phrak's GSLP. Links to a starter open it on your first visit.
Next-time targets follow your plan. Low-rep days and ladders are no longer pushed to 6-12 reps, and dumbbell jumps land on real dumbbells.
Assisted and weighted bodyweight lifts progress the right way. Warm-ups stay out of every total.
CSV import tells you about cells it could not read and can be undone. Sync merges edits from two devices, and an empty cloud copy never wipes your data.
The app opens faster, and links to a workout or program work on a first visit and offline.
v2.6 · November 2026
A real desktop layout: on a wide screen the app, and Kohlrabi Coach, now lay out as a desktop interface. Printing gets the same treatment.
Stages work on every program, and a stage can carry its own workouts. Rest days and odd/even-week workouts can sit in the rotation, and you can reorder days.
The finish screen has a "Next time" block with your next target, worked out from the session you just did.
The exercise picker shows popular lifts first, then A to Z. Search understands gym shorthand ("db row", "pec deck") and more machine names.
Search and the exercise library are faster on slower phones.
v2.5 · November 2026
Exercise pictures: how-to photos above the steps for 700+ exercises, plus illustrations for 20 more. They are on by default; turn them off in Settings → Display & Units; the pictures come from the app itself, so nothing is sent to a third party.
Completed sets are the only sets that count, on Home, Logs, Stats, exercise pages and shares. Warm-ups no longer inflate totals.
A "Week starts on" setting (Monday or Sunday) for Stats and Home.
Program weeks count sessions: set a sessions-per-week value and the week turns when that many sessions are done or skipped.
Sub-screens inside Workout and Program have their own URLs, so Back walks them in order and a reload returns you to the same screen.
One estimated 1RM per session on every screen, taken from the session's top set.
Hardware-keyboard shortcuts: 1 to 5 switch tabs, / jumps to exercise search, comma opens Settings.
Dumbbell suggestions in kilograms land on dumbbells that exist. Trap bar is its own equipment. Starter programs are back (Full Body, Upper / Lower, Push / Pull / Legs, a %1RM wave).
Sharing a program now shows how long it runs and its stage plan. Finished programs read "Program complete" on Home.
Kohlrabi Coach, the tool for personal trainers (programs, clients, plans and a public coach page), is built into the app. Its availability is on the Coach page.
v2.0 · October 2026
Program stages: give part of a program its own rep range and rule (Strength, Hypertrophy, Endurance, Hold, Deload, or your own).
A welcome flow and a seven-card quick tour (Home → "Take the quick tour", or Settings → About).
Custom equipment for custom exercises, synced across devices.
Stats gains a "Finished programs" section, and a first desktop layout pass.
Share links now stay out of search engines and carry stage variants.
Earlier versions
v1.93 to v1.99: import your history from Strong, alongside Hevy and MacroFactor. Muscle freshness shows when each muscle was last trained and its sets in the last week.
v1.92: a refreshed interface, single-side support, and progression engine updates.
v1.8: faster exercise adding, a finish dialog that keeps partial sets, and a standard barbell or dumbbell lift first in search.
v1.75: progression for sub-maximal sets, and suggestions that round to your increment grid.
v1.7: semi-open beta, opt-in auto warm-up sets, and a Start button on shared programs.
