## What is ATHENA?

Your muscles light up when you train them. Now you can watch it happen.

ATHENA is a workout tracker built around one idea: you should be able to SEE your training. Log your sets and a full-body avatar lights up, muscle by muscle — 23 separate regions, from upper chest down to tibialis. Train hard all week and the whole figure glows. Skip legs and, well, you'll know.

THE AVATAR
• 23 individually tracked muscle regions, front and back
• Weekly targets that adapt to YOUR training — a full glow means a great week for you, not for some pro bodybuilder
• Tap any muscle to see exactly how many sets it got
• Keep your streak alive and the avatar earns a living energy aura
• 6 color themes that restyle the entire app, avatar included

FAST, SERIOUS LOGGING
• Set-by-set logging with your previous numbers right where you need them
• Automatic PR detection, supersets, warm-up and drop sets, RPE
• Per-exercise rest timers and a plate calculator
• A 400+ exercise library, most with video demonstrations, plus step-by-step instructions
• Create custom exercises with their own muscle mapping

BUILT INTO YOUR IPHONE
• Full lock screen Live Activity: rest countdown and Complete Set without unlocking your phone
• Live heart rate during workouts with AirPods
• Workouts save to Apple Health and count toward your Activity rings

KNOW YOUR NUMBERS
• All-time stats: volume trends, consistency heatmap, your Big 3, most performed lifts
• Strength, estimated 1RM and volume charts for every single exercise
• A muscle balance score that catches lopsided training before it becomes a problem

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
• No account, no login, no ads
• Everything syncs privately through your own iCloud
• Import your history from Hevy or Strong in one step
• Your workout numbers and health data are never sent to anyone

ATHENA PREMIUM
The core experience is free: unlimited workout logging, the avatar, the aura, live heart rate. Premium adds unlimited routines, unlimited custom exercises, all-time analytics, every theme and the warm-up calculator.

Built by one lifter who wanted a tracker worth staring at. Outwork yesterday.

### 5/5 — A NEED !

*2026-08-20*

best app i’ve used for the gym, would recommend to both starters & advanced alike ! if you’re looking for an amazing app to help you keep your gains in check, you’ve came across the perfect tracker !!

**Developer response:** "Starters & advanced alike" is exactly what we were building for — that means a lot, Patrick. Thank you. Keep your gains in check and we'll keep shipping. ⚔️

### 5/5 — Best app by far

*2026-08-17*

I’ve been using Athena to keep track of my workouts and I really like it. It’s simple, easy to use, and doesn’t make tracking everything feel like a chore. I like being able to look back and see what I’ve done and how I’m progressing. It’s definitely helped me stay more consistent at the gym. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants an easy way to keep track of their workouts

**Developer response:** “Helped me stay more consistent” is the whole reason ATHENA exists — that line made my day. Thanks for the support, and keep that streak alive 💪

### 4/5 — Honest review

*2026-08-17*

Interesting app with unique physique tracking and competition with friends feature. Can get lost in the app a bit but after a few minutes, understood it. I love that the app syncs with my Apple Watch so I’m not constantly manually tracking. Highlights on my muscle tracker is crazy addicting. I can visually see what I lack and what I don’t lack, then seeing everything glow feels good knowing I hit a crazy workout. Been working out for 3 years and using other workout apps to track my sets, but this one was simple at most. Amazing app, can’t wait to see more features in the future like different avatars!

**Developer response:** This might be my favorite review yet — honest feedback from someone who's actually put in years and tried the other apps means everything to a solo dev. You're right about getting lost at first; smoothing out those first few minutes is high on my list. And “different avatars”… you're reading my roadmap 👀 More is coming for the avatar than I can fit in this reply. Thanks for giving it a real shot — reviews like this genuinely shape what gets built next.

### 5/5 — Best App Ever

*2026-08-17*

This app saved my life, before I was an absolute CHUD no goals, money, aura. I had nothing but then I found ATHENA and my life instantly improved now I’m on my way to becoming an absolute CHAD, with this app there is no one or anything that can stop me.

**Developer response:** The CHUD-to-CHAD arc is the greatest transformation story ever told in an App Store review. Nothing can stop you now. Keep the aura growing 🫡

### 5/5 — Great platform for tracking and planning

*2026-08-17*

I am very happy with downloading the app. It is a strong tool that I can track my progress, plan exercises and compare with friends. It’s a great app and I cannot wait for future updates to further my progression. Would recommend to my fitness friends and whoever is looking to improve themselves.

**Developer response:** Tracking, planning, and beating your friends — you've found all three pillars. A lot more is coming for the compare-with-friends side very soon. Appreciate you being here early 💪

### 5/5 — 💪

*2026-08-08*

Love this app. Definitely helped me get closer to my goal physique 💪

**Developer response:** This is the one that means the most — the app is only worth anything if it actually moves the needle for you. Keep at it, and if there's ever something you wish it did, hit Send Feedback in Settings. I read every one.

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-08-02*

Solid training app! Progressively glowing avatar makes it super simple to see where you’re lacking in your training. Very easy and user friendly.

**Developer response:** Appreciate it! Seeing the gaps instead of reading them was the whole idea — glad it lands. 🖤

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-07-31*

This app has a great avatar that makes it easy to see what I’m training.

**Developer response:** Thank you! The avatar is the whole idea — glad it's lighting up for you. 🖤

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-25

STEAL YOUR FRIEND'S WORKOUT

Tap any workout in your Friends feed and the whole thing opens — every exercise, every set, every weight, supersets included. One button turns it into your own routine, in your own units.

Your numbers stay yours if you want them to: a new setting shares that you trained without sharing what you lifted. Delete a workout and it leaves your friends' feeds too.

ALSO NEW
• Two new themes — Molten and Obsidian. These don't just recolour the app; they change how your muscles light up. Molten forges from cold iron to white-hot. Obsidian is carved stone, no colour at all.
• A new launch screen. The eyes open.
• Dispatch — a direct line from me, the person who builds this. What shipped, what's next, and the occasional ask.

Fixes for the streak number getting cut off, the Friends circle being hard to scroll, and a few smaller things people wrote in about.

Keep going. OUTWORK YESTERDAY.
