Log a set in two taps.

Weight, reps, save. The next set is already waiting. Dropsets and supersets have their own tab, so odd sets do not turn into notes.

  • Normal, dropset and superset sets
  • Rest timer and notes on every exercise
  • Copy Previous Workout Today starts from your last session in one tap.
  • Cardio too: GPS runs with a map, pace and distance

Exercises have plain names, and every one of them comes with four short notes, so you never have to look up a movement mid-set. Browse every program free; the training days are on the paid plan.

The rest of the app.

Real screens, nothing staged.

How the first week goes.

Three things to do. The app keeps the rest.

1

Pick a plan, or just start logging

Open a program from the list, or add your own exercises and log the sets you did today. Copy Previous Workout takes care of next time.

2

Log what you eat

Search or scan, set your calorie and macro targets in grams, and see the day fill up on the dashboard next to your water and your weight.

3

Watch the records stack up

Keep the streak going. Every set you log feeds the progress charts and the personal records for that exercise.

Where your data lives.

Stated exactly, because "private" means nothing without the details.
