Need a hand with Durus? Most answers are below. If you don't find what you're looking for, email us and we'll help.
Open the app, enter your name, pick a program (strength, hypertrophy, powerlifting, HYROX, CrossFit-style, joint and tendon, mat pilates, or running from 5K to ultra), set the equipment you own and the days you train. Durus builds your plan and shows what to do each day on the Today tab. Tap Start to begin a workout and log your sets as you go.
During a workout, tap the Coach button and tell it how you feel in plain English. Say something like "no more legs," "my shoulder is tight," "make it shorter," or "I'm wiped," and it adjusts the session on the spot. You can also say "my legs are shot, do arms instead" and it will move today's session to another day and check that you're recovered before you do it.
Yes. Tap any movement to see a short form demo built into the app. No account or internet connection is needed to view them once the app has loaded.
Yes. On a run day, tap Track run with GPS to record your distance, pace, time, and route. Your route is drawn on a map and the run is saved to your history. GPS is only used while you are actively tracking a run.
Yes. Connect Strava in Settings and Durus will post your finished workouts automatically, including your total weight moved and the muscles you worked. Runs are posted with your GPS route.
Everything stays on your device. Durus has no servers and collects nothing. You can optionally connect your own Google Drive (or use iCloud on supported devices) to back up and move your data between your devices. Your data stays in your account, under your control.
Open Settings and use the option to erase your history, or delete the app to remove all of its on-device data.
Yes. Once loaded, Durus works without a connection. You only need internet to sync to Strava or back up to your cloud account.
Durus is a one-time purchase. There is no subscription and no in-app paywall. If you have a purchase or restore question, use the contact email above and include your Apple receipt.
See our Privacy Policy. Short version: your data never leaves your device unless you choose to back it up.
