Track every rep. Follow proven programs. Watch your strength grow. Forte isn't just another workout log. It's an intelligent training system that helps you get stronger — with science-based warm-ups, smart program matching, and progress tracking that shows you exactly where you're improving.

AI-POWERED PROGRAM GENERATION Tell Forte your goals, experience, schedule, and equipment — it builds a complete training program: - Strength, hypertrophy, or powerbuilding focus - 2-6 day splits: Full Body, PPL, Upper/Lower, Bro Split - Exercises matched to your gym's equipment - 46+ pre-built programs if you'd rather pick one SMART WORKOUT PLAYER - Log sets, reps, weight, and RPE with one tap - Ghost sets show your last performance so you know what to beat - Drop sets, failure sets, and warm-up set tagging - Rest timer with adjustable duration and audio cues - Exercise substitution suggestions when equipment is taken - Full instructions, form tips, and video demos for every exercise DAILY READINESS CHECK-IN Rate your sleep, stress, soreness, and nutrition before training.

Every exercise includes instructions, muscle targets, and your personal history — with 1RM estimation tracked automatically across all lifts.

Fourteen days of the paid tier. If you haven't started, the offer waits on Home for 30 days. Your first session starts the 14 days. Home shows how many you've used. When the window ends, you see a record of what you trained, what stays free, and what locks. Your programme stays on the screen. Keep training on the free tier, or continue it at a price. Offline Storage, in Settings, lists each kind of data on your device and its size. When a size isn't known, it reads as unknown. Clear All uses the actual stored size. If a clear doesn't finish, the screen says so. ### 1.10.0 — 2026-08-24 Build your own workout, properly. A new Review step before you start or save: every exercise, sets, reps and rest in one place. Tap any exercise to edit its numbers, drag to reorder, and add exercises straight onto a saved workout. Set a training focus — Build muscle, Get stronger, Power — on the review screen or any saved workout, and see exactly what changes before you confirm. A friendly heads-up now appears before you override your goal's numbers, and changing only the weight or notes keeps your goal intact. Warm-ups, rethought: a new Raise screen with free warm-up navigation, an honest warm-up clock, and a clear WARM-UP to POTENTIATE progression. Fixes: planks add as timed holds and carries as distances from every add path; distance work in coached programs no longer reads as minutes; cardio exercises save correctly; new users no longer see "0 of 3 sessions" on day one; double-tapping Add no longer kicks you out of a live workout. ### 1.9.0 — 2026-08-17 Edit a finished workout Logged the wrong weight? Open History, tap the session, and Edit. Change the numbers, skip a set you didn't do, swap an exercise, or add and remove sets — then save. You have 24 hours after you finish, or until you start the next lift. This week, on your terms Map My Week is now This week, Usual week, and Next week. Move a session to another day, keep your usual template separate, and preview what's coming. Missed days stay on the calendar. A recovery session no longer eats a training day. Plans that fit you Change plan now opens on For you — a short list matched to you — with All plans one tap away. Filters speak plainly: Build muscle, Get stronger, Power. Bands, overnight resume, and honest advice Band exercises warm up as bands, not a kilogram ramp. A workout with logged sets stays resumable the next day. Progression advice follows the weight you actually lifted. ### 1.8.8 — 2026-08-10 Smarter exercise swaps Swapping an exercise now understands your kit. Three tabs — Same Movement, Best Match and All Options — plus filters for barbell, dumbbell, machine, cable, bodyweight, band and kettlebell, so you get alternatives you can actually do with the equipment in front of you. A calmer Home screen Home now loads from cache the moment you open it, so Featured programs no longer flash an empty state and your readiness chip no longer blinks "Not logged" before catching up. Pull to refresh whenever you want. Your session, visible at a glance When a workout is in progress, today's slot on Home now shows as live. Clearer workout player Refined set-card hierarchy, progress markers and dividers, so the set you're on reads instantly. Warm-up highlight fix During a warm-up, the active highlight now sits on the warm-up set you're actually doing, instead of staying on the first working set. ### 1.8.7 — 2026-07-27 Workout player • Fixed the fullscreen RAMP warmup dropping back to the legacy player chrome • A timed exercise mid-workout now keeps the full exercise rail and Next button, so you can always reach the following exercise • The rest countdown is now a real depleting arc instead of a fading ring • Smoother transitions when moving between exercises Heart rate and machines • Bluetooth heart-rate straps now retry properly instead of giving up after one attempt • A stale reading is no longer displayed as "live" indefinitely • Rowers and bikes that expose no usable data no longer report themselves as connected with live data Your data • Dismissing the sync-failure alert no longer deletes your queued workout • CSV export now escapes commas, quotes and newlines correctly • Export shows progress while it runs • Measurement dates use your local calendar day • 1RM estimates reject impossible rep counts rather than producing a false PR Browse and search • Exercise search restored to full matching across all criteria • Exercise library and Browse shelves scroll noticeably faster Stability • Fixed a crash on charts with no data • Fixed a crash on the gyms list when equipment details were missing • Onboarding can no longer leave you permanently stuck • The back button no longer dead-ends when opening the app from a notification ## Apps similar to Forte | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Manifest & Affirmations - Soul](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/manifest-and-affirmations-soul/id6463946050) | 4.8 (3,690) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Vedic Breath: Pranayama Asana](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/vedic-breath-pranayama-asana/id6763060708) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Ferly: Intimacy & Relationship](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ferly-intimacy-and-relationship/id1449167768) | 4.4 (130) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Glamir - Beauty & Skincare](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/glamir-beauty-and-skincare/id6654882371) | 4.7 (31) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Calsee - AI Calorie Counter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/calsee-ai-calorie-counter/id6743029309) | 4.8 (130) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Window - Intermittent Fasting](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/window-intermittent-fasting/id1112765909) | 4.5 (10,600) | Free | Health & Fitness | ## More apps by SM Digital Consultancy Ltd - [ilma: Wellness & Meditation](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ilma-wellness-and-meditation/id6762196066) - [Pura Sensa](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pura-sensa/id6762196074) All apps by SM Digital Consultancy Ltd: https://appshunter.io/developer/1893318763 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
