About
Ballast is a strength log that fills in every set for you. Each one opens at the weight and reps you did last time, so logging it is one tap, and rest starts on its own.
Buy it once. No subscription, no account, no ads.
WHAT IT DOES
• One tap per set. The weight is already there.
• A rest timer that keeps running on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a haptic at zero.
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with your next workout, a Start Workout button for Control Center and the Action Button, or just say "Start my workout in Ballast."
• An Apple Watch app: today's workout on your wrist, the Digital Crown to change a weight, one tap to log. Sets wait on the watch until your iPhone has them.
• Plate math that never suggests a weight your gym cannot load.
• Personal records found for you, not typed in by you. Look back from any date, after a break or a gym change, without deleting anything.
• An estimated one-rep max chart per lift, working sets per muscle each week, and a calendar of what you actually did.
• Reminders you choose, capped at one a day, with quiet hours.
• Bring your history in from a CSV, and export all of it to CSV for free.
BALLAST PRO — ONE PAYMENT, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION
• Automatic progression. Finish your sets and the weight goes up next time, rounded to something you can actually load.
• A deload that asks first, when two sessions in a row come up short.
• Reps in reserve, so a raise waits when you had nothing left.
• Unlimited plans and your own custom exercises.
• A plate profile for every gym you train at.
• Full history and charts, instead of the last three months.
• Every future update at no extra cost.
NO ACCOUNT, AND NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICES
There is no sign-up, no email, no analytics, no ads and no tracking of any kind. Ballast makes no network connection of its own. Your training lives on your iPhone and syncs through your own private iCloud, which nobody else can read. Sync is on by default and off with one switch.
Turn on Apple Health and each finished workout is added to your Health store. Ballast writes to Health and never reads from it.
WHAT IT IS NOT
There is no feed, no social layer, no coaching, no AI, and no video library. It is a log that does the arithmetic for you.
Requires iOS 18 or later.
