Frequently asked questions
Everything about tracking workouts with Otra — free, offline-first, and yours.
Is Otra free?+
Yes. Otra is completely free — every tracking mode, routines, body and fasting tracking, reminders, and reports. No card required, no paid tier.
Does it work offline?+
Yes. Otra is offline-first. Every action is saved on your device and works with no internet connection. When you reconnect, your data syncs to the cloud in the background.
What can I track?+
Any exercise across five modes: reps & sets, weighted lifts, timed holds, timed intervals, and distance cardio. You can also build custom exercises, set a goal for each one, save routines, log body weight and BMI, and run a fasting timer.
Can I set a goal for an exercise?+
Yes. Every exercise can carry its own goal in its tracking mode — 4 sets of 12 reps for bench press, a 60-second plank held 3 times, or a 5 km run. The goal shows on the exercise card and follows you into the session, so the counter tells you how far you are from it. A routine can override an exercise’s goal for that routine only, leaving the exercise default untouched.
What is the hands-free rep counter?+
In reps mode, a full-screen tap counter fills the screen so you can log each rep with a single tap — or a tap anywhere — without looking closely at your phone mid-set.
Do I need an account, and does my data sync?+
You sign up with an email and password. Your data lives on your device first and syncs to your account so you can pick up on another device.
What if I forget my password?+
On the login screen, tap “Forgot password?” and enter your email. We send you a single-use reset link that stays valid for 60 minutes — open it, choose a new password, and log back in. If you are already logged in, you can change your password any time from Settings → Account.
Can more than one person use the same device?+
Yes. Multiple accounts can share one device — each account keeps its own private data, so logging in as a different user shows only that user’s workouts.
Can I install Otra on my phone?+
Yes. Otra is a PWA, so you can install it to your home screen on iOS and Android and launch it like a native app — full-screen, offline, with workout reminders.
Will I get workout reminders?+
Yes. Reminders fire in-app while it is open, and when the app is closed they arrive via web push notifications.
Is my data private?+
Your data stays on your device and is only synced to your own account. There are no ads and nothing is sold.
