## What is Forma Workout Journal?

Forma is a workout journal for lifters who take training seriously. No feeds, no fluff — open the app, hit the plate, log your session, get stronger.

LOG LIKE A LIFTER
Weight, reps, and optional RIR — two taps per set. Mark warmups and drop sets, reorder or swap exercises mid-session, and keep notes on the sets that mattered. A rest timer starts itself after every completed set (and knows drop sets don't rest).

BEAT LAST SESSION
Forma remembers what you lifted and turns it into targets: last session's numbers pre-filled, a "+1 rep" goal per set, and a weight-increase cue when you've owned the rep range. Progression you can act on mid-set, not analysis homework afterwards.

LIVE HEART RATE
Start a session on your iPhone and Forma's Apple Watch companion starts a workout on your wrist automatically — live heart rate and calories stream straight into the session screen, and avg/max are saved to every workout. (Requires Apple Watch.)

THE LOG
Every session on record — sets, volume, duration, notes, and vitals. Estimated 1RM charts per exercise, personal records detected the moment you lift them, streaks and levels that reward showing up.

YOUR SPLIT, YOUR RULES
Start from curated plans like Push Pull Legs or Upper/Lower, or build your own training blocks day by day. Same-name days, custom exercises, ~550-exercise database.

BUILT INTO YOUR IPHONE
Live Activity and Dynamic Island timer, Apple Health sync (workouts count toward your rings), iCloud backup, CSV export of everything you've ever logged. Your data stays yours.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.5 — 2026-08-21

NEW LOOK. SAME LOG.
Forma 5.0 is the Iron Works update — a complete redesign built for the gym floor, plus the biggest feature drop yet.

• Complete visual redesign — steel black, safety yellow, and a bumper-plate Begin button
• Live heart rate — Forma's new Apple Watch companion auto-starts a workout on your wrist and streams heart rate and calories into your session, with avg/max saved to every workout
• Drop sets — mark burnout sets with a tap; they skip the rest timer and stay out of your progression targets
• Smarter suggestions — recommended weight and reps now always follow the exercise, even after you swap exercises mid-workout, and entering reps auto-fills the weight from your previous set
• Plans with repeated day names (like two Push days) now open the correct day every time
• Redesigned share card, Live Activity, and Dynamic Island timer
• Extra data protection: your workout history gets an automatic safety snapshot with this update

Your workouts, records, streaks, and plans carry over exactly as they were.

What's New
