About

A calmer way to follow workouts.

RepDriver started life as a small fix to a personal annoyance: I followed a lot of workout videos on YouTube, but keeping them on a sensible schedule meant juggling playlists, spreadsheets, and screenshots. I wanted the plan to just live on my real calendar.

It began with a YouTube schedule

The first version did one thing: take a YouTube workout playlist and turn it into a plan you could subscribe to as an iCal feed, so each day's session landed in Google, Apple, or Outlook automatically. No more screenshots of someone else's spreadsheet.

Then it grew a library of programs

From there it kept growing. I added a timed strength runner, a guided yoga mode, an illustrated exercise library with form notes, and a handful of full multi-week programs — an Arnold-style split, a Son Goku routine, a yoga path, a lifter's reset, and more. I plan to keep adding programs as the user base grows.

Free, and education-first

RepDriver is free and built mainly to be useful — to help people learn the movements and actually follow a plan. The core will always be free. Much later, a few optional extras might become a small paid add-on to cover costs, but there's no pressure here: no leaderboards, no streak guilt, no ads, no selling your data.

Common questions

Is it really free?

Yes. RepDriver is free to use — browse the workout library, follow along, build your own routines, and put them on your calendar at no cost. The core product is education-first and will always be free.

Will there ever be a paid version?

Maybe, eventually — a few optional power features (things like live partner workouts or extra automation) might land behind a small paid add-on if the running costs grow. But the core stays free, and there's no advertising and no selling your data.
