Mobile App

Lyftr has a native mobile app so you can log workouts at the gym, straight from your phone — talking to your server.

  1. Download the latest signed APK from the Releases page.
  2. Open the .apk on your phone and allow “install from unknown sources” if prompted.
  3. Launch Lyftr and enter your server URL when asked.

The app connects to your self-hosted instance, so it needs a URL it can actually reach:

  • localhost won’t work from a phone — it refers to the phone itself.
  • On the same network, use your server’s LAN IP (e.g. http://192.168.1.10:8080).
  • Best: a real hostname over HTTPS so it works anywhere — see HTTPS & Reverse Proxy.
  • Make sure your server URL is in CORS_ORIGIN (see Configuration).

Planned. Apple doesn’t allow side-loading, so iOS will ship via TestFlight / the App Store once the Apple Developer account is set up. Watch the repo for updates.
