## What is LeibFit?

Your training. Your recovery. On iPhone and Apple Watch.

LeibFit builds your strength plan around your equipment, your goal and your week – and every morning it shows you how much you can take today. Just the watch you already wear: no extra hardware, no second subscription for it. No account, no cloud, no tracking. Everything stays on the device.

YOUR PLAN KNOWS YOUR EQUIPMENT
Tell it once what you have: barbell, dumbbells, machines, bands or just bodyweight. LeibFit only plans with what's actually in front of you – at home, at the gym, or both, because the location belongs to the individual training day. 91 exercises with form cues, alternatives and illustrations.

AI OR BUILT BY YOU
Have your week put together for you, or build it day by day: pick exercises, set sets, reps, weight and rest. One thing stays fixed: the split, volume, reps and starting weights are calculated deterministically. The AI only picks exercises from the vetted database – it never invents one.

SLEEP, RECOVERY, STRAIN
Three numbers, every morning:
– Recovery 0–100 from heart rate variability, resting heart rate and sleep – measured against your own 30-day baseline, not somebody's average.
– Sleep with a need model: learned baseline, sleep debt, naps, consistency, and a bedtime for tonight.
– Strain 0–21 from heart rate zones and training volume, with a daily target that follows your recovery.
Plus your nightly vitals and how far each sits from your own average. Works with any watch that writes to Apple Health.

JOURNAL: WHAT LINES UP FOR YOU
A short round of questions each morning about yesterday: alcohol, stress, caffeine, screen time, sauna, a walk. After enough days, LeibFit shows which answers go together with your recovery, sleep and strain – always with effect size and sample size. Correlations, not causes.

ADAPT INSTEAD OF GRINDING
Your suggested weight learns from your training: hit every rep and it steps up next time – wake up with low recovery and the increase waits, with the suggestion slightly reduced. On weak days LeibFit also removes unfinished sets from today's workout, reversible with one tap. Every adjustment is explained, none happens silently. Orientation, not diagnostics.

DURING THE WORKOUT
The whole session at a glance, every set ticked off in place. Adjust weight and reps whenever you want, with "last time" right next to it. The rest timer starts on its own, keeps running reliably in the background, and reaches you even when the app is closed.

ON YOUR WRIST TOO
On Apple Watch you get your three numbers and today's workout right below them: tick off sets on the watch, the rest timer on your wrist, heart rate and elapsed time during the session. The watch records the workout and writes it to Apple Health. If your iPhone is somewhere else, ticked-off sets aren't lost – they travel over as soon as it's back in range. Plus a complication for your watch face. watchOS 10 or newer.

HISTORY AND WEEKLY REPORT
Volume, sessions and sets per muscle group as charts. On Sunday evening the weekly report sums up recovery, sleep, strain and training – a look back, not a report card. Finished workouts go to Apple Health.

YOUR DATA IS YOURS
No account. No sign-up. No servers. No analytics SDK. LeibFit collects nothing about you, because there is no infrastructure to collect it with. Health, journal, reminders and cycle context are each switched on separately – or not at all. Export whenever you want.

LeibFit Pro
Full access to everything. Free for 7 days, then EUR 6.99/month or EUR 44.99/year. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel – any time in your Apple ID settings.

Note: the AI features (coach chat, AI exercise selection, equipment recognition from free text) need an iPhone with Apple Intelligence and iOS 26. Planning, logging, history, recovery, sleep, strain, journal and weekly reports all run on iOS 17.6 without AI.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6 — 2026-08-18

NEW: TODAY'S TARGET SITS IN THE RING
The load ring now shows where you want to land today, not just where you are. The target range runs as its own track around the outside and stays visible even once you've reached it – before, that was exactly when it disappeared. The centre of the ring tells you how far there is to go.

CHANGED: LOAD NOW COUNTS FROM 0 TO 100
Your daily load used to run on a scale up to 21 – a number you had to learn first. Now it's a value from 0 to 100, like recovery and sleep. The calculation is unchanged, only the display is consistent. Daily target, watch and weekly reports moved with it.

CHANGED: RECOVERY USES THE WHOLE SCALE
After a genuinely good night it stopped at around 80, because the conversion didn't use the full scale. That's fixed. Resting heart rate is now read per day instead of across the night boundary, so it matches the night shown next to it.

IMPROVED: EASIER TO READ
The Health tab opens with your numbers instead of the journal questions – those now sit collapsed in a single row. Next to the recovery ring you can again see how to read it. Weight and reps are noticeably larger during a workout. The three rings have their own colours now and fill in as the screen appears.

Everything stays on the device, as before: no account, no cloud, no tracking.

### 1.5 — 2026-08-16

NEW: YOUR FIRST 7 DAYS ARE FREE
You used to need a subscription just to see LeibFit – and then had to cancel it if the app wasn't for you. That's a lot to ask for something you don't know yet. Now your first seven days after installing are simply free: no purchase, no payment details, nothing to cancel. Two days before the end LeibFit tells you it's running out. Then you decide.

As always, everything stays on the device: no account, no cloud, no tracking.

### 1.4 — 2026-08-11

NEW: LEIBFIT ON APPLE WATCH
Your three numbers on your wrist – sleep, recovery, strain – with today's workout right below: tick off sets on the watch, the rest timer on your wrist, heart rate and elapsed time during the session. The watch records the workout and writes it to Apple Health. If your iPhone is somewhere else, ticked-off sets aren't lost – they travel over as soon as it's back in range. Plus a complication for your watch face. watchOS 10 or newer.

IMPROVED: SHARING
You can now put your own photo behind your rings, your workout or the weekly report – picked straight from your photos. And if you'd rather send the image later, one tap saves it to Photos.
As always, everything stays on the device: no account, no cloud, no tracking.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-11

NEW: "HOW IT WORKS" – EVERY EXERCISE EXPLAINED
Tap the info symbol next to an exercise and see how it's done: a large illustration, the target muscles, the one cue that matters – plus what the exercise is, what it's for, how the right form should feel, the most common mistake and how to start safely. All 91 exercises, vetted and built in. No AI, no network, on every supported iPhone.
NEW: LOOK UP EXERCISES
The full catalogue to browse and search, grouped by muscle – outside a workout too.
NEW: SHARING
Your three rings, a finished workout or the weekly report as an image – story or feed, portrait or square. Preview before you share; nothing leaves your device without your tap.
As always, everything stays on the device: no account, no cloud, no tracking.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-07

Version 1.1 ist die größte Erweiterung seit dem Start – aus einem Trainingsplaner wird ein Planer mit vollem Erholungs-Teil.

NEU: HEALTH-TAB MIT DREI RINGEN
Schlaf, Erholung und Belastung auf einem Screen, jeder Ring mit eigenem Detail. Erholung 0–100 gegen deine 30-Tage-Norm, Schlaf mit Bedarfsmodell und Bettzeit-Empfehlung, Belastung 0–21 aus Herzfrequenzzonen mit Tagesziel.

NEU: JOURNAL UND „WAS BEI DIR WIRKT"
Eine kurze Frage-Runde am Morgen zu gestern – Alkohol, Stress, Koffein, Bildschirmzeit und mehr. Nach genug Tagen zeigt LeibFit, welche Antworten mit Erholung, Schlaf und Belastung zusammenfallen, mit Effektstärke und Datenbasis. Zusammenhänge, keine Ursachen.

NEU: SCHLAF IM DETAIL
Bedarf, gelernte Norm, Schlafschuld, Zuschlag für den Vortag, Nickerchen, Phasen, Regelmäßigkeit – plus eine Bettzeit-Empfehlung für heute Abend und eine optionale Erinnerung.

NEU: VITALWERTE
Ruhepuls, Herzfrequenzvariabilität, Atemfrequenz, Hauttemperatur und Sauerstoffsättigung – jeweils mit Abweichung zu deinem eigenen 30-Tage-Schnitt. Angezeigt, nicht gedeutet.

NEU: WOCHENBERICHT
Sonntagabend fasst LeibFit die Woche zusammen: Erholung, Schlaf, Belastung, Training und die auffälligsten Journal-Treiber. Ein Rückblick, kein Zeugnis.

NEU: SCHRITTE, ENERGIE, VO2MAX UND FITNESS-EINORDNUNG
Tageswerte aus Apple Health, dazu eine Einordnung deiner Messwerte in eine Altersspanne – als Vergleich von Werten, nicht als Aussage über dich.

NEU: ENGLISCH
Die App spricht jetzt Deutsch und Englisch, inklusive Gewichten in kg oder lb und Strecken in km oder mi.

NEU: ZYKLUS-KONTEXT
Optional und separat freischaltbar: der Zyklustag als reine Anzeige, ohne Deutung.

ÜBERARBEITET: DUNKLES DESIGN
Die ganze App ist auf ein durchgehend dunkles Erscheinungsbild umgestellt – ruhiger, kontrastreicher, besser fürs Training am Morgen und am Abend.

ÜBERARBEITET: TRAININGSANSICHT
Statt zwei Modi gibt es jetzt eine: die kompakte Ansicht mit der ganzen Einheit auf einen Blick und Logging direkt in der Zeile. Dazu ein Drehrad für Gewicht und Wiederholungen und „Tag kopieren" im Wochenplan-Editor.

ÜBERARBEITET: DATEN-EXPORT
Alle erhobenen Daten lassen sich jetzt aus dem Profil heraus exportieren.

Alles wie bisher lokal auf dem Gerät: kein Konto, keine Cloud, kein Tracking.
