RepDB
RepDB is a one-time-purchase exercise dataset with animations for developers building fitness and workout apps — not a subscription, not a rate-limited API. You download the data once and own it: JSON (and SQLite on the higher tier), WebP images, and full EN/DE/ES translations, with no per-request billing and no dependency on our servers staying up.
A free tier includes 600+ exercises with flat-style 512×512 images, attribution-licensed for commercial in-app use. The Starter tier ($199) adds the full catalog in classic white-background style. Standard ($399) adds transparent 1024px images, looping animations, exercise relations (similar/progressions/regressions), workout templates, and embeddings — exclusive to that tier.
Every exercise includes muscle-group highlighting, equipment/muscle icons, MET values, and safety/goal tags. Compared to GIF- or JPG-based competitor APIs, RepDB images are transparent WebP with no watermarks, so they drop into any app UI without a white box around them.

RepDB's answer:
RepDB is sold as a one-time download, not a metered API — you own the JSON/SQLite data and WebP images outright, with no rate limits, no per-request billing, and no risk of the vendor cutting off access. It's also the only dataset in this space with EN/DE/ES translations, transparent (alpha-channel) images with no watermark, muscle-group highlighting, safety/goal tags, and looping animations on the higher tier.
RepDB's answer:
RepDB grew out of a consumer workout app its creator was building solo. Sourcing exercise images and data meant either paying for a subscription API with usage caps and no caching rights, or producing everything from scratch. The illustrated, multi-language dataset was built for us first, then split out as its own product once it became clear other indie developers had the same problem and preferred to buy the data outright rather than rent it through an API.
RepDB's answer:
Most alternatives are subscription APIs — you pay monthly, you're capped on requests, and ExerciseDB's terms of use explicitly forbid caching or storing the data at all, so every image render is a live paid API call. RepDB is the opposite: pay once, download the files, self-host with zero ongoing dependency. It's also the only option offering true DE/ES localization and transparent images instead of a white box behind every exercise.
RepDB's answer:
Solo developers and small teams building fitness or workout-tracking apps (iOS, Android, web) who need licensed exercise images and structured exercise data, but don't want to build their own media pipeline or depend on a rate-limited third-party API.

I tried out numerous audio tagging apps (Kid3, Picard, …) and wasn't happy with any of them. They all try to work with some kind of library system of have a really bad UX (single line input for Lyrics???). Therefore I decided to build one that is simple, fast, with great defaults: https://github.com/ad-si/Taguar It's built with Rust's [Iced] and [lofty]. Looking forward to your feedback!

Iced.rs is probably the better UI library anyways in the long run as it’s backed by a major hardware vendor. https://iced.rs. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
With the new PopOS Cosmic and them dumping GNOME for their own UI framework based on Iced (and based on rust), I have high hopes that things will move to more linux (especially for folks here who are rust-heads). [0]: https://iced.rs/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
It seems like trading applications tend to be what demands the performance to push R&D like this for Rust GUI. My team at Kraken worked on https://iced.rs/ which powers https://www.kraken.com/desktop, a very similar application. You can definitely feel the difference in a Rust GUI vs. a web view. It can maintain high frame rates doing so much on the screen at once. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
To demonstrate this, we will create a demo UI using Rust and the Iced crate which is one of the nicest ways to build a UI in Rust (egui is another one, which I tend to use more frequently but Iced has a bit more of a webpage feel which is nice). - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago
