About

AddPlate is a bench press app built around one idea: pick a program, do what it says, and the weight goes up. Each session it calculates the weight, reps and sets for the day, and after you log your sets it decides the next weight and tells you why. ■ Easy to start ・Answer three questions (experience, goal, days per week) to get a recommendation ・Every program explains who it is for, how it progresses and what to watch out for ・Programs that are too demanding for your experience are not recommended ■ 8 programs ・Linear progression 5×5 (beginner) ・Double progression (beginner) ・GZCLP (staged: when you stall, drop the reps, not the weight) ・Smolov Jr (3-week peak) ・5/3/1 ・Texas Method ・DUP (daily undulating periodization) ・RPE-based (weights follow how you feel) Increments, deload rates and more can be tuned to you. ■ Plate math for your gym ・Register the plates you have (20/15/10/5/2.5/1.25 kg etc.) and your bar weight ・Calculated weights are rounded to what you can actually load ・Plates per side are shown as a picture and as numbers, including warm-up sets ■ Made for the gym floor ・Big weight display, one tap to log a set ・Enter reps only when you fall short ・Rest timer starts automatically, with a countdown in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen ・The screen stays on during a session ・Apple Watch: start the session, log sets and follow the rest timer from your wrist ■ Rules with reasons ・At the end of a session you see whether the next weight changes, and why ・Rules the app added on top of the original program are labeled as such ■ History and planning ・Estimated 1RM chart, plus logged 1RM tests ・Month calendar of done, missed and planned days ・Edit past sessions, add notes, export CSV, back up and restore ・After a long break, a lighter restart is suggested with the reason ■ Privacy No account. Everything stays on your device and nothing is sent anywhere. The weights shown are a guide. Adjust them to how you feel and stop immediately if you feel pain.

What's New in AddPlate

1.2

October 31, 2026

Getting back to a session in progress is easier. The Today tab shows a card for the session you left (current weight, time left if resting, every set's status); tap to resume. Reopening the app brings the session back automatically after the safety notice. The rest timer on the Lock Screen now has a "Complete set" button: log the next set at its target reps and start the next rest without opening the app. You can now change a program's current position (Program tab → Schedule). Editing or deleting history no longer sends the program back to the start. New "Day boundary" setting: training after midnight (say, 1 a.m.) can count as the previous day (Program tab → Settings, 0–6 a.m.). When you finish a program, the Today tab shows what to do next: test your 1RM, take it easy for a week or two, then move to a long-term program. The 1RM you measure is carried into the next program's setup. New "How to test" guide for 1RM tests: from a reference 1RM it lays out the warm-up and three attempts, with plates per side. Tap an attempt to log that weight. New "Send feedback" (Program tab). Suggestions and bug reports reach the developer by email.
