Every BodyTree update, newest first — the new skills, features, and improvements landing in the app.
v2.14.3September 29, 2026
Flexibility proofs upload again
Recording a video proof for a flexibility level, such as Standing Pike, could end in "Upload failed" every time, no matter the network or clip length. Those proofs now upload, count toward your progress and unlock the next level.
A failed upload no longer leaves a duplicate copy of your video behind.
v2.14.2September 24, 2026
Pro Lifetime is here
Rather pay once? You can now unlock Pro for good with a single one-time purchase, alongside the monthly and yearly plans.
v2.14.1September 17, 2026
Two freezes, gone
Logging a set no longer locks the app for about a second. The confirmation sound was setting up its audio on the same thread that draws the screen, and doing it again on every single play, so any tap that made a noise could stall everything.
Starting a hold is instant again, for the same reason.
Opening the app no longer stalls on the first screen. Your saved streak is now read ahead of time instead of while that screen is being drawn.
A dropped connection no longer files an error report. A request that times out is not a fault in the app, and those reports were burying the ones that are.
v2.14.0September 12, 2026
Legs day gets its missing half
Two new leg progressions join the squat line: Lunges & Step-Ups, running from a plain lunge up to deep step-ups, and Hamstring Curls, running from a glute bridge up to glute-ham raises. That is 10 new moves and the first hip-dominant work the tree has ever carried.
Every legs session now pairs one knee-dominant move with one hip-dominant move, both at full sets and reps, instead of a squat followed by an easier squat. With no legs goal set the second slot rotates across the week, so both new lines get trained.
Fixed the same leg exercise turning up twice in one block after you tapped Easier. Reps are tracked per exercise, so logging a set into one row was filling in the other. Programs already in that state repair themselves the next time they load.
Your tree completion percentage may dip a little. The catalog grew from 251 moves to 261, so the same number of unlocked moves is now measured against a bigger tree.
v2.13.1September 6, 2026
Community clips play silently
The feed no longer has a sound toggle and no longer takes over audio, so your own music or podcast keeps playing while you scroll.
A proof is a demonstration of a skill and the signal is visual, so new clips are stored with no audio track at all. That also means Android no longer asks for microphone access to record one. Clips uploaded before this keep their sound.
Fixed the Community tab freezing mid-scroll. Preparing audio for each clip was blocking the screen for up to half a second at a time, and the feed no longer does that work at all.
v2.13.0September 6, 2026
Community explains itself before you post
Choosing Community for a clip now brings up a short sheet the first time: everyone in Community can watch it, not only your followers; clips are checked before they appear; wear workout clothes; and you can pull a clip back out any time from your Proof Grid.
A clip held for review that turns out to be fine can now be approved and kept personal. Your rep still counts toward the progression and the video stays in your Proof Grid, but nothing reaches the Community tab or your followers.
Grease the Groove opens from Settings under Training whenever you want it, so dismissing the plateau card no longer puts the feature out of reach. Dismissing it now keeps that exercise quiet for two weeks instead of coming back on your next launch.
On Android, recording a clip from a skill's page or from the review step during a workout now asks whether it goes to Community or stays just for you. It used to upload private without ever asking.
v2.12.1September 5, 2026
Say something after you vote
After you vote Accomplished or Needs work on a Community video, a row of short phrases slides in: encouragement for a clean rep like Clean lockout, or a cue like Watch the hip sag. One tap attaches it to the post.
Everyone sees the phrase tallies under the video, and the athlete sees who said what, so a vote becomes something specific to keep doing or to fix. The list is fixed, so there is nothing to type and nothing to moderate.
Swiping between Community videos no longer freezes mid-swipe on iPhone or Android, and opening a private profile on iPhone no longer flashes placeholder details before the real ones load.
v2.12.0September 4, 2026
Grease the Groove, and paired sets that finally alternate
Stuck at the same rep count for weeks? Start a two-week Grease the Groove block: test your max once, then do 6 to 10 easy sets spread across your day, each one well short of failure. Frequent, easy practice is how a stuck number starts moving again.
BodyTree reminds you at sensible times inside a window you choose, and you can log a set straight from the reminder on your lock screen without ever opening the app. While a block runs, your regular workouts skip what it already covers, and it ends with a retest where every rep past your old max counts toward your next unlock.
Paired push and pull exercises now alternate set by set, instead of running one exercise all the way through before starting the other. One side recovers while the other works, so a normal session finishes several minutes sooner. You can switch it off in Settings if you prefer straight sets.
That also fixes their rest. A paired exercise had been taking 30 seconds less recovery than everything else, which only makes sense if you are actually switching between the two. The shorter rest now applies where it belongs.
Two things your plan was quietly getting wrong are fixed: Train now names the skill it is holding back and the exercise that unlocks it, and assessments done after a Day 0 session no longer lose the movements you had already proved. Affected programs repair themselves the first time the app loads.
v2.11.0September 3, 2026
A home screen that knows what today is for
Train opens with a greeting, your week at a glance and one Today card that says exactly what to do next: start today's workout, catch up on a missed one, do a recovery session or loosen up with mobility. Your daily check-in, weekly mission, next skill and recovery plan sit underneath as tappable rings instead of a stack of competing cards.
The Skill Tree is now a flat index you can scan in one pass: every branch with its ring, level and progress on a single screen, no more collapsed groups hiding your progress. Flex leads with your bookmarked goals as full rows showing your next stretch and estimated reach date.
Your streak moved to the top of Train, so the flame and your week dots greet you the moment the app opens, and the count always reflects what you have actually logged.
Sharing a proof no longer makes you wait: the video uploads in the background with a real progress bar, the post appears the moment it lands, and your followers get a notification when you share.
v2.10.0September 1, 2026
Your account moves with your phone
Set up a new Android phone from a backup or a direct transfer and BodyTree opens with your account already loaded. No signing in again. Your history, your streak and every skill you have unlocked are simply there, the way they were on your old phone.
Until now Android kept your sign-in in storage that does not survive a device change, so a new phone always started you at the sign-in screen even though nothing about your account had changed.
Fixed a bug that could leave sign-in stuck on the loading screen forever. If you had ever rated your flexibility on an iPhone, the Android app could not read that rating back, and that one value brought down the whole profile load. Only accounts used on both an iPhone and an Android phone could hit it.
Features we had turned on for you no longer turn themselves back off when the app cannot reach our settings service. Parts of the app like the Daily Spotlight and the Weekly Mission could disappear part way through a session; the app now keeps the settings it last received.
v2.9.0August 26, 2026
Your training, written out
Progress Analytics used to hand you six charts and leave you to work out the story. It now opens with your last twelve weeks in sentences: the sets you logged, how that compares with the twelve weeks before, how closely you are keeping to your schedule, and what you unlocked along the way.
It also names the exercises that have stopped moving. If your reps or hold time have sat flat across recent sessions, the recap says so and suggests adding a set or stepping up to a harder variation. A lift stuck on the same number for a month is the one thing a bar chart is worst at telling you. Pro, on iPhone.
Proof videos are now capped at 30 seconds however you add them. Recording stops at 30 seconds, and a longer clip picked from your library is turned down with an explanation instead of being uploaded.
Changes we make on our side now reach the app when you reopen it, rather than waiting for the next full restart. Before this, an install that sat in the background for days kept running on whatever it last saw.
v2.8.5August 25, 2026
A proof that went missing now finds its way back
A proof could vanish between recording it and the app confirming it. The video reached us, but the record describing it never did, so the clip never appeared for review and the skill it was meant to unlock stayed locked.
The server now rebuilds that record from the video itself, so a stranded proof still gets reviewed and still unlocks what you earned. Every proof already lost this way has been found and put back.
Signing in with Apple could fail if you tapped the button again before the first attempt had finished. The button now stops taking taps until the attempt it started is done. On iPhone.
v2.8.4August 24, 2026
Two things that quietly did not work
Milestone cards you had already dismissed came back every time. The app was saving which ones you had seen under a name it could never read back, so each visit started from scratch. On Android.
That same record was also being written to the part of your account other people can read, instead of the private part it belongs on. It is on the private one now.
Searching for another athlete by name only found an exact match, so typing "and" could not surface "Andre". Names now match from the first letters, the way they always have on iPhone.
Your stats can no longer be listed all at once. Looking up one person's XP, level and streak is how profiles and follower lists work and still does, but pulling the whole table in a single request is closed off. Already live on the server.
v2.8.3August 21, 2026
You can take a video back
Every clip in the Community tab has its own menu now. On your own videos that means Remove from Community, which pulls the clip out of the tab while it stays on your profile and your skill tree, and Delete proof for when you want it gone altogether.
Report and Block are reachable on every card. They used to be hidden whenever a clip was yours, so a feed showing only your own videos had no menu at all.
Recording a proof is no longer refused before it is even sent. The check ran on your own phone, and on Android it was the one built for profile photos, which treats a shirtless torso as a likely problem.
Proof videos are compressed before they upload on Android, the way they always have been on iPhone, so a clip picked from your gallery no longer sends hundreds of megabytes.
An upload that failed at the last step used to leave your video stranded and give you nothing back. Both apps clean up after themselves now.
Downloading your data now includes your own activity history, the workouts and unlocks that show on your profile.
v2.8.2August 20, 2026
Everything community, in one place
The Community tab carries the whole community surface now: search for other athletes, filter between everyone and the people you follow, and set your profile public or private, all from the tab itself.
There is one Community screen instead of two. The duplicate behind your profile showed overlapping content and quietly held those three controls.
Sign in with Apple could fail outright on Android if you had tapped another sign-in button first. It waits its turn now, retries itself once, and says plainly if it is still busy.
Your profile opens on your real level and picture instead of flashing Level 1 with no photo first.
v2.8.1August 19, 2026
On Android, your first session now builds the whole plan
Finishing Day 0 on Android builds your skill tree and your first week of training from the moves you just did, so you land on a real Day 1 instead of an empty tree and a questionnaire.
Day 0 states its target for every move, times your holds with a real countdown, and counts your reps for you.
Day 0 has its photography at last, and the demo pictures match the answer you gave on the gender step instead of always showing a man.
Easier and harder are direct choices now rather than one step at a time, and every move has a Skip, so the 25-second plank is no longer a dead end.
The sign-in screen is rebuilt, with Terms and Privacy right where you sign up and Sign in with Apple restored for anyone who made their account on iPhone.
Your streak now goes down when you stop training, and the daily reminder stops arriving with a number that is no longer true.
v2.8.0August 17, 2026
Your training is no longer a solo climb
The new Community tab shows proof clips from people working the same progressions you are, playing as you scroll.
Sharing is per video and off by default — you decide clip by clip what the world sees, and nothing you recorded before now was made public.
Choose when videos autoplay: Wi-Fi only, Always, or Never — remembered per device.
Your first session now builds your skill tree and your first week of training, so you land on a real Day 1 instead of an empty tree.
Athlete profiles now show level, XP, proofs, followers and workouts — and a private account finally looks private.
Fixed the wrong hero photo flashing on open, profile pictures vanishing from older proofs, and workouts never reaching your followers.
v2.7.1July 27, 2026
A little polish for every session
Logging a set or hold now plays a satisfying sound cue across strength, mobility, and recovery — and it respects your sound-effects setting.
Recovery session instructions now stay fully visible as you scroll, so you never lose track of the cues mid-set.
Sets you log by voice with Siri now play the same confirmation as tapping in the app.
v2.7.0July 22, 2026
Life happens — your plan flexes with it
Train ahead or make up a missed workout on any rest day — your streak stays intact without spending a freeze.
New optional auto-advance moves you to the next exercise automatically the moment you finish one.
Rest-day mobility doubled its variety with 12 drills per focus area that rotate so no two rest days feel the same.
Recovery sessions now count toward your streak, and coming back after a break earns a double-XP comeback bonus on iOS.
v2.6.0July 18, 2026
Training and recovery, one plan
Recovery-aware training: opt in and BodyTree automatically goes easier on exercises that stress a recovering area — clearly labeled, and everything reverts when your plan completes.
If your morning pain check spikes, the Train home suggests going lighter that day.
Cleaner navigation: four focused tabs — Train, Tree, Flex, Coach — with the community feed now in your Profile.
v2.5.0July 16, 2026
Recovery front and center
Your recovery plan now lives on the Train home — phase, progress, and whether a session is due today, at a glance.
Opt-in recovery reminders that only fire when a session is actually due — tap to jump straight into your plan.
Recovery sessions leveled up: rest countdowns, set undo, pinch-to-zoom demos, and a proper end-of-session recap.
The Android Recovery dashboard is now as rich as iOS, and holds start hands-free with Siri on iOS.
v2.4.0July 12, 2026
Start with a win — and train from a home that explains itself
New Day 0 start: do a real first rep and finish a short guided session before you answer a single question — you succeed first, then build your full program when you’re ready.
Train is now your home tab, and today’s session explains itself: why this workout, what each block is building toward, and why every exercise made the cut.
The skill tree puts your goals first — your goal branches sit up top with live progress, with the full catalog tucked below.
Warmups and cooldowns now match your level: gentler variations while you’re starting out, the full versions as you level up.
New Lifetime Pro option: pay once, keep Pro forever — alongside the monthly and yearly plans.
Smoother everywhere: accurate like and comment counts, a rest timer that survives the final set, and a batch of Form Check and workout reliability fixes.
v2.3.0July 5, 2026
Mobility sessions and clearer onboarding
Guided mobility sessions with a rest countdown, tap-to-preview demos, and a hands-free Siri hint for starting holds.
Pick more than one training goal during setup, with a clearer and more inclusive onboarding.
Every exercise and stretch cue re-checked against trusted references — 130+ copy fixes for clearer, more accurate coaching.
v2.2.0July 4, 2026
Safer community tools
Report or block any member, video, or comment — blocked members’ content disappears from your feed, comments, and profiles everywhere.
Review and unblock anyone anytime from a new Blocked list in Settings.
A new animated launch splash that draws the skill tree and flows into sign-in (iOS).
v2.1.0July 3, 2026
Live Form Check, recovery, and a rebuilt progress dashboard
Live Form Check uses on-device pose detection to auto-time your holds, with an optional real-time form skeleton overlay.
New recovery and rehab tools: a metrics dashboard, guided sessions, and next-morning pain check-ins that keep you progressing safely.
Progress Analytics rebuilt as a Pro command center with per-set CSV export and server-tracked personal records.
Weighted progressions, a week-strip calendar, Siri shortcuts, and a game-feel pass with richer haptics and celebrations.
v1.13.0June 21, 2026

Cleaner workout controls and reliability improvements under the hood.
