## What is Anvil Workout?

Anvil Workout is a strength training app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Plan your programs, track sets and reps in the gym, and review progress over time. One-time purchase. No subscription, no account, no ads, no in-app analytics. Your workouts stay on your device.

PROGRAM LIBRARY
Six classic strength programs are built in. Pick one, tap import, and start training:

• Starting Strength
• StrongLifts 5×5
• Greyskull LP
• GZCLP
• Upper/Lower split
• Push/Pull/Legs

Each program ships with the right exercises, set/rep schemes, and progression notes. Templates are fully editable after import.

OR BUILD YOUR OWN
Over 80 exercises across every major muscle group. Mix and match into your own routines, set targets for sets, reps, weight, and rest, and link supersets together. The exercise library is fully searchable.

ACTIVE WORKOUT
A focused screen for the gym floor. The current set is highlighted so you always know what's next. Bigger touch targets that work with sweaty fingers. Rest timer is readable from across the room. Lock Screen Live Activity keeps your workout visible without unlocking.

PROGRESS TRACKING
• Volume over time, weekly frequency, and 1RM estimates
• Per-exercise history with personal records
• Muscle group distribution
• Weekly streak and quick-access to recent sessions on Home

APPLE HEALTH
Optional integration writes workouts to Health and reads heart rate and calories from Apple Watch during training.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
No account. No cloud. No analytics inside the app. Workout data stays on your device. Your progress is yours.

PAID ONCE, YOURS FOREVER
One-time purchase. No subscription. No upsells. Future updates included.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.1 — 2026-07-24

A privacy-focused update. Crash reports never include screenshots, and there's no performance tracking on your device. One purchase, no subscription, and your data stays with you.

### 1.7 — 2026-07-16

A small update, mostly under the hood.

• More reliable on iPhones used without an Apple Watch.
• A new "Also from IAMJARL" section in Settings, with my other pay-once apps.

As always, one purchase, no subscription, and your data stays on your device.

### 1.6.0 — 2026-07-06

• RPE tracking: log how hard each set felt (1–10, half steps allowed) and see it alongside reps and weight in your history. Included in CSV export and import.
• Faster logging: tap any pending set to enter your actual weight and reps before marking it done. No more edit-after-the-fact.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-06-22

Plate Calculator: tap the barbell on any exercise to see exactly which plates to load per side.
• Import from Strong & Hevy: bring your whole training history over with a single CSV file.
• Program Tags: organize your programs by goal or training block, and filter your list in a tap.
• Reliability improvements for the Apple Watch companion.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-05-20

Accessibility first.

• VoiceOver now reads the workout timer, rest countdown and every set with clear context — "Mark Set 2 of Bench Press done"
• Weekly plan tiles announce the day, whether it's today, and what's planned
• Programs, exercises and history lists read as one element instead of fragments
• Combined labels on dashboard cards so stats are spoken as a whole

Under the hood, the active workout engine was rewritten to share logic with the upcoming Apple Watch companion. Same app, same data — now ready for your wr
