I’m trying to build an app to store my workout plans.

At some point I have a screen where I need some user inputs to calculate a value.

I need that user inputs and value to be stored in the app so next time I enter the app I don’t need to redo the same steps over and over again.

This is what I have so far:

Also, in another screen, I’m trying to include a checkbox to keep track of the completed workouts. Same thing as i said before how can i get the app to remember this things? I’m having a hard time figuring out how variables and objects work…

Any help will be much appreciated!

You’re using cloud variables which require Firebase. This is a powerful, flexible and difficult way to approach data storage in Thunkable. Do you have a need for Firebase? If not, and especially if you will be the only person using your app, I recommend using a local Data Source or Google Sheets (if you need online access to that data; just know that retrieving data from Google Sheets can be delayed).

You can learn more about various data sources in the documentation [here](https://docs.thunkable.com/getting-started/data-sources).
