# Weightlifting Tracking with Emacs on Android

Emacs on Android opens up a world of new possibilities for replacing
proprietary software with free alternatives.  One such use case is
using Emacs and org-mode to replace the popular weightlifting tracking
apps like Hevy and Strong.

Org-mode provides a solid foundation to replicate these apps
functionalities but by itself is cumbersome to use in the middle of a
workout.  With the help of Elisp however, we can provide an experience
as seamless as these paid apps, but with added flexibility and
freedom.

This talk will go over the package itself as well as the way org-mode
can be used as the foundation for applications on top of it.

About the speaker:

I'm Zachary Romero, a software developer and Emacs enthusiast. I've
been weightlifting for about three years when I grew tired of the
many apps constantly trying to push subscriptions. Knowing the many
things org-mode can do, I set about trying to replicate the same
functionality in Emacs.
