## What is GymMayday?

GymMayday turns any unfamiliar gym machine into a clear, beginner-friendly lesson — just point your camera at it, or type its name.

WHAT YOU GET
• Instant equipment identification via AI — snap a photo or search by text
• Step-by-step usage instructions written for beginners
• Safety tips to help you avoid common mistakes
• Target muscle groups for every machine
• One-tap demo video search

YOUR OWN VIRTUAL COACH
Pick your coach's gender and get a personalized greeting every time you open the app, plus daily motivational quotes to keep you going.

TRACK YOUR WORKOUTS
Log what you trained — date, weight, sets, reps, and notes — on a simple calendar. Tap any day to see or add entries.

AI-SUGGESTED TRAINING PLAN
Tell it your age, gender, goal, experience level, and how many days a week you can train, and AI designs a complete weekly training plan just for you — first 2 plans are free.

REST TIMER
Set a rest duration between sets and get notified when it's up — even if the app is in the background. Lock-screen quick action lets you start the next rest period without unlocking your phone.

BODY-PART TRACKING
Every equipment guide is tagged with the muscle group it targets, and your workout log inherits it automatically — building a clearer picture of your training over time.

SHARE YOUR PROGRESS
Turn any day's workout into a shareable card: pick a color theme or use your own photo as the background, apply fun filters (including a beauty filter), and drag on emoji stickers.

BADGES & MILESTONES
Unlock badges as you log workouts, lift volume, and build streaks — a lightweight way to see your progress add up.

APPLE HEALTH IMPORT
Just finished a workout tracked by your Apple Watch or the Health app? Pull it straight into your log with one tap instead of typing it in again.

REMINDERS WITH PERSONALITY
Skip a few days and GymMayday will nudge you — gently at first, with an increasingly cheeky roast the longer you put it off.

YOUR HISTORY, ON YOUR DEVICE
Your last 10 equipment lookups are saved locally so you can revisit them anytime — no account required.

MULTI-LANGUAGE SUPPORT
Available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese. Follows your system language automatically, or set it manually in Settings.

PRIVACY-FIRST
No login required. Your profile, coach settings, and search history stay on your device. Photos are only used to generate your equipment guide and are not stored afterward.

Whether you're new to the gym or just encountered a machine you've never used before, GymMayday is the coach in your pocket.
