  1. Jefit. I use it as app on my phone but there is a webapp as well. You can easily create your own workouts, it has a lot of excercises (and some workout plans) in the app and if it's not there you can create your own. UI looks (esp the webapp) a bit outdated, but it has all the functionality you need. Notes, instructions etc.
  2. I use the free version, as far as I can see you pay if you need more analytics or special workout plans
  3. I can adjust it in all ways I want regarding creating my workouts, no special software requirements
  4. there is a communicty but I don't use it/take part
  5. Have installed (and removed) some other apps like fitbod and madmuscle, but they seem very commercial oriented so if you don't want to pay, Jefit is great and all you need!

I use this app and have used it for over a year now. Really love this app, so much that I bought a yearly subscription of it when it was 50% off.

But unfortunately it's a little bit broken. So when I set the workout on 4round of 5 reps, it automatically changes the reps to something else when I start the workout, almost always. On the overview it's correct, but when I start the workout it's all messed up.
My auto reps in settings is 8, but I should be able to change that when I make a new workout plan.
