Why I built Ellim
A couple of years ago, I hit a point where I knew I needed a change. Training became my reset — one focused hour a day where I could tune out the noise and make steady progress.
But staying consistent came with constant friction:
- Quality routines were scattered across YouTube, Reddit threads, and random PDFs
- Tracking progress meant bouncing between multiple apps
- Most tools added barriers — paywalls, forced sign-ups, and trials that ended before you built momentum
So I built the app I wished existed.
What started as a personal project quickly grew into something bigger. The more I built, the clearer it became: if this helped me stay consistent, it could help a lot of other people too.
That's why the core features are free. Ellim is for the quiet grinders, the headphones-on lifters, the busy parents squeezing in a session before work — anyone who wants a clean, honest tool that respects their time.
And Ellim is growing beyond workouts. Training is connected to everything around it — what you eat, how you sleep, and your daily habits. Over time, Ellim will help you track the full picture: nutrition, sleep, and water — all in the same focused experience.
Ellim isn't backed by a corporation or venture capital. It's an independent product, built by someone who uses it every day — and it's only getting better.
