Anneal is a strength training application that automatically progresses your workouts, explains the reasoning behind weight and rep changes, and tracks muscle recovery. It aims to provide a transparent and adaptive training experience.
How does Anneal adapt workouts to my recovery?
Anneal uses data from Apple Health, such as heart rate variability and sleep, to estimate your readiness. If your readiness score is low, it adjusts the load and volume of your workout, potentially modifying exercises to focus on mobility.
Can I build my own workout programs in Anneal?
Yes, you can build your own programs by selecting days and lifts, and defining how they progress. The free version allows for one custom program or routine, while the Pro version offers unlimited custom programs.
Does Anneal have ads?

What are the subscription options for Anneal Pro?
Anneal Pro offers two subscription plans: Pro Monthly at $8.99 per month and Pro Yearly at $59.99 per year. Both plans include a 14-day free trial.
Can I import my data from other workout apps?

How does Anneal handle gym equipment?
You can profile your specific gym equipment, including plates and dumbbells, within Anneal. The app provides a coverage report to show which muscles you can fully train and suggests what equipment to acquire next.
Does Anneal have a daily streak system?
