You train ten hours a week.
The other 158 decide what comes of it.
Work, sleep, food, stress: all of it is in your next session, and no app puts it together. Orynn is training diary and plan in one. In the evening you tell it how your day went, in the morning how the night was. Then it tells you what's on today and why.
For age-group triathletes · Middle-distance (70.3) focus · iPhone via TestFlight, Android as a web app
No watch measures the part that matters.
Watts, pace, HRV, sleep stages: all measured. Why a good week falls apart isn't in any of it. That sits in your workday, your short night, the heat, your head.
The analysis always arrives too late
Notes help you weeks later, when you sit down to read them. You need the answer now: go full, or back off.
Five apps. No picture.
Sessions here, sleep there, food in a third app. You see numbers, but not how they relate.
At 6 a.m. it's your call alone
A good coach is irreplaceable, but not standing next to you. They don't know it's 35°C and you slept five hours. And easing off is the hardest decision you'll have to make.
Talk for 45 seconds.
Here's what you get back.
No forms, no sliders, no fields. You talk like you'd talk to a training partner. Orynn turns it into data and puts it next to what your watch records.
The transcript stays. Every value below it can be corrected by hand.
Example recording
“Okay so, today was honestly a rough one at work. Back to back calls, way too much pressure. Did the intervals in the afternoon, six times eight hundred on the track. First three felt fine, but from the fourth one it really started to burn, legs got heavy. I think that was more the day catching up with me than my legs. It’s all logged on Strava anyway. Slept about five hours last night, brain wouldn’t shut off. Physically I’m fine, no knee pain, but mentally I’m pretty wrecked right now.”
High mental load despite no physical red flags and short sleep → tomorrow's threshold session stays, but at reduced target intensity with one fewer repetition.
Last season: three injuries. This season: none.
I'm a middle-distance age-grouper with a sales job, around eight sessions a week and never enough sleep. Last season I trained harder than ever and still went backwards: always tired, stalling, three injuries: April, September, December. One of them a torn muscle.
I had what you're supposed to have: a coach, a physio, mountains of Garmin data. What was missing was the rest of the day: how I ate, how I slept, what was going on at work. The stressful meeting, the short night, 35°C in Madrid. No watch ever asked.
I kept a diary and fed the notes to an AI. Useful, but always looking back, never an answer for today.
So I built Orynn. This season has been my best: better step by step, and not a single injury.
Arthur, founder of Orynn
This is where Orynn takes over
You talk for two minutes. Orynn does the writing.
Orynn asks about your night in the morning and your training in the evening. You answer out loud. Orynn writes the entry.
Five hours of sleep? The plan already adjusted.
Periodised into base, build, peak and taper, with watts, pace and CSS. If your night says otherwise, Orynn changes today's session that same morning and tells you why.
Ask someone who knows your last six months
Every entry, every session, every night is there in the conversation. You don't get generic advice back. You get an answer with your numbers in it.
Photo, not spreadsheet. Orynn knows what you're still missing today.
Your training decides how many carbs you need. Orynn works that out from your training load and shows you what's still missing today, without you typing anything in.
The numbers are already on your wrist
Connect Strava or Apple Health and you are done. Garmin watches come in through Apple Health with sleep, resting heart rate and sessions, and without an iPhone through Strava with sessions. With an Apple Watch, HRV comes in too. Nothing to enter twice, nothing new to buy.
A wearable helps, but isn't required. Without one, you just talk through more detail yourself.
What a plan can do. What a coach can do. What Orynn can do.
| What a plan can do. What a coach can do. What Orynn can do. | Fixed plan | Orynn | Personal coach |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adapts to your day | no | daily | weekly, if you check in |
| Knows sleep, stress, food | no | yes | only what you tell them |
| Explains why today | no | yes | yes |
| Answers at 6 a.m. | no | yes | no |
| Cost | one-off | Beta: free | a lot more |

Your diary is not training material
You tell Orynn things you'd never type into an app: how you slept, how much pressure you're under, how you're really doing. So here are four commitments.
Stored in Germany
Servers in Germany, no transfer to advertising networks. Speech recognition and analysis run with OpenAI and Anthropic in the USA, without your account name and email.
No model training on your data
Your entries are used to answer you. Under their API terms, OpenAI and Anthropic do not train on them. Nothing is sold.
Export whenever you want
Every diary entry with transcript, settings, recipes and insights as JSON. Your log, in a format you can keep.
Delete means delete
One action deletes the account and every entry in it, permanently and without a waiting period.
Nothing to pay during the beta
Private beta
A small group of age-group triathletes. Full feature set, a direct line to the founder, and your feedback shapes what gets built next.
Orynn Pro
One subscription, no tiers and no feature paywalls. The price is set before launch.
What you're probably wondering
How much time does it take each day?
Two recordings, under a minute each. Sessions come in through Strava or Apple Health, food by photo. That’s it.
What’s different from other training apps?
Other apps rate your training. Orynn rates what shapes your training: sleep, work, food, head. And you talk instead of typing.
Does an AI decide my training?
No. Your plan and every adjustment come from fixed training rules: traceable, repeatable, no surprises. The AI listens, understands what you tell it, and explains in one sentence why today's session looks the way it does.
I’m training for my first 70.3. Is this for me?
Yes. Orynn plans for people with jobs, not for pros: seven good sessions beat ten you can’t fit in.
Is Orynn only for triathletes?
No. It was built for triathlon because that's the hardest case: three disciplines, more sessions, more ways to get your load wrong. Runners and cyclists use the same loop with fewer disciplines.
Does it replace my coach?
No. It replaces the notebook between you and your coach. The coach report contains what you told Orynn over the week. The conversation starts from data, not memory.
How quickly does the plan adapt?
For the first two weeks Orynn learns your baseline: HRV, resting heart rate, sleep. After that, the daily adjustment kicks in.
Do I have to speak? Can I type?
Voice is the fast path, not the only one. Every entry is editable text, so you can type it instead.
Which languages does it understand?
German, English, and Spanish, spoken naturally, dialects and mixed sentences included. The interface follows your device language, also available in all three.
Is it in the App Store?
Not yet, but Orynn already runs on iPhone two ways. First, as an installable web app: open orynn.app in Safari and add it to your home screen, and it behaves like a native app. Second, as a real iPhone app through TestFlight. TestFlight is Apple’s official app for letting people test apps before they reach the store: you get an invitation by email, install TestFlight for free from the App Store, and install Orynn through it. On Android the same route works through Chrome: open orynn.app and add it to your home screen. The regular store release follows after the beta.
Where is my data stored, and who processes it?
Your data is stored on servers in Germany. Speech recognition (OpenAI) and analysis (Anthropic) run with providers in the USA, under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or EU standard contractual clauses. Your account name and email are not sent along. Under their API terms, neither trains models on your data. The export covers diary entries with transcripts, settings, saved recipes and insights as JSON.
What happens to my recordings?
The recording goes to OpenAI for speech recognition; Orynn does not store the audio file. Orynn then uses Anthropic to turn the transcript into an entry. Transcript and entry are stored on servers in Germany, never sold, never used for model training, and deleted with your account.
Does it work without a wearable?
Yes. Then you talk through sleep and how you feel yourself, and Orynn works with that. Only the HRV baseline is missing.
How do I get a beta spot?
Sign up below and tell me what you're training for. The beta is small, so you'll get an email as soon as your spot is ready.
You train ten hours. Let the other 158 count from now on.
