## What is Chalkly?

Chalkly is a fast, focused strength-training tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch.

LOG A WORKOUT IN SECONDS Big +/− steppers for weight and reps, one tap to complete a set, and a haptic tick when you do. Mark sets as warm-up, working, drop set or to-failure, and record RPE if you use it. Volume and set counts update as you go.

REST TIMER THAT FOLLOWS YOU A rest timer starts when you complete a set. Add 30 seconds, take 15 off, pause or skip. It floats above every screen, and when you're resting with your phone locked it sends a time-sensitive alert.

APPLE WATCH A watch app built around the workout. Start a routine from your wrist, see the current set big and clear, turn the Digital Crown to change weight in 2.5 kg steps and reps, and log the set with one tap. The rest timer starts on its own, live heart rate and calories are a swipe away, and everything syncs back to your iPhone. Routines and today's workout also appear in a watch complication.

ROUTINES, SPLITS AND PROGRAMS Start with full body, upper/lower or push/pull/legs templates, or build your own. Follow proven programs like 5/3/1, GZCLP, nSuns and PHUL that set your weights for you, or describe the routine you want and Chalkly drafts it for you to review. Assign routines to days of the week and see your split at a glance on the Home screen.

PERSONAL RECORDS AND 1RM Chalkly tracks your heaviest weight, best reps and top set volume for each exercise. Follow your estimated one-rep max on a chart, workout by workout, and see working percentages from 95% down to 50%. Strength levels show where your squat, bench and overhead press stand for your bodyweight.

MUSCLE MAP AND WEEKLY VOLUME A body map shows which muscles you've trained this week or over 30 days, with sets per muscle group and a nudge when one is falling behind.

PLATE CALCULATOR See exactly which plates go on each side of the bar, with IWF-style colors for kilogram and pound plates, and a warning when a weight can't be loaded evenly.

EXERCISE LIBRARY Over 500 exercises by muscle group, with search, form notes and your personal bests. Add your own exercises for the machines in your gym.

HISTORY AND BODYWEIGHT Review past workouts, repeat a session with last time's weights, and log bodyweight with a 1–5 recovery rating.

APPLE HEALTH With your permission, Chalkly saves completed strength workouts, their duration and active calories to Apple Health, and can read and save bodyweight. Health data is never used for advertising and never shared.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no analytics, no tracking, no account on our servers. Sign in with Apple is optional. Your data stays on your devices and in your own iCloud. Export a backup file any time.

Coach summaries and AI suggestions are optional. Where your iPhone supports Apple Intelligence they run on the device; otherwise Chalkly writes them without AI. They're general guidance, not medical or personal training advice.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-10-24

1. Cloud sync rewritten around a sync engine, record codec, and merge logic, so workouts and changes sync more reliably between iPhone and Apple Watch.
2. Exercise names are localised.
3. Exercise illustrations: many poses corrected, equipment added where it was missing (bands, weights, kettlebells, platforms, pads, cable anchors), and figures no longer cut off at the cell edges.
4. Localisation: string catalogs updated across the app and Watch target.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-23

A cleaner, simpler Chalkly.

• Refreshed design: cleaner screens with less clutter, so the things you need during a workout are easier to find.
• Redesigned Apple Watch app: it now puts your workout first, with the current set, weight and reps front and centre, and the rest timer starting as soon as you log a set.
• Better syncing: fixed issues where workouts and changes didn’t always sync between Apple Watch and iPhone.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-23
