## What is MADSET?

MADSET is a serious training log for people who actually track their lifts —
with a personal program builder that turns a short questionnaire into a plan.

Answer a few questions — goal, training days, experience, session length,
injuries to work around, muscles to focus — and MADSET builds ranked training
plans with the reasoning written under every choice. Pick one, edit anything,
and start. Or skip all of it and just track your own workouts: adding your own
exercises takes seconds, and nothing is locked behind the plan.

Log every set with weight and reps in seconds. Your last session's numbers are
already filled in — beat them. A personal-record marker fires the moment a set
beats your all-time best, computed as estimated one-rep max, not just raw
weight.

The rest timer lives on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island: a countdown that
keeps running with your phone locked, showing which set is next and what to
load. When rest ends, it tells you to go.

Your training week runs Saturday to Friday. Every past week stays open —
review it, correct it, and see exactly what you lifted, when. Progress charts
track each exercise's estimated one-rep max over time and list the dates your
numbers actually moved.

Body data stays yours. InBody results can be typed in or scanned with the
camera — recognition happens on this device, and the photo never leaves it.
Sleep, resting heart rate and weight can be read from Apple Health; MADSET
never writes to Health.

WHOOP is optional. If you have a WHOOP membership and band, you can connect it
to bring recovery, sleep and strain into MADSET alongside your training. It
requires a MADSET account because MADSET's server holds the WHOOP connection on
your behalf, and it is not required to use anything else in the app.

Sign in with Apple is optional too — MADSET works fully without an account, and
your training stays on this iPhone. Signing in adds an encrypted backup you can
restore on a new iPhone, and unlocks the WHOOP connection. MADSET encrypts
eligible Health, InBody, recovery, cardio, workout-physiology and training
history on the iPhone before Health Vault backup. The service can derive the
account key, so this is not described as zero-knowledge or end-to-end
encryption. No cross-app tracking or third-party ads.

Fully bilingual: English and Arabic, with proper right-to-left layout.

Your optional account profile can include a name, photo and birthday, saved with signed-in backup. MADSET update messages and news or offers are optional, with separate controls in Settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.2 — 2026-10-07

Your account profile restores more reliably, including your saved name, photo and optional birthday.

Home now shows when automatic account backup is paused. New changes stay on this iPhone until you choose Sync now in Account & backup; a successful sync enables automatic uploads.

This update protects changes made on different iPhones, keeps sign-out local to this iPhone, and keeps a plan document you removed from returning during sync. Profile-save feedback and body-data save errors are clearer.

### 1.5.1 — 2026-09-30

Better protection for workout and body-data changes made during backup sync.

See your saved sets when ending a workout early, understand planned and adjusted set counts, and jump into Workout from an empty Progress screen.

Resume unfinished plan setup with your program choices saved on this device. Safety questions are asked again before activating the plan.

Improved Arabic wording and clearer notification settings, with separate controls for Training & app updates and News & offers. Your existing notification choices are preserved.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-09-26

Fixed a freeze when opening a workout from Home with workout reminders enabled.

A more flexible training week. Move a workout to another day, swap two untrained workouts, or train compatible routines on the same day without moving work you have already logged. Your calendar, history and workout reminders follow your changes.

You can now undo a light day from the exercise screen without losing the sets you entered. We also improved workout history and made the Apple Health permission wording clearer.

Personalize your account with a name, photo and optional birthday, with profile details included in signed-in backup. Optional MADSET updates and news notifications have separate controls in Settings; you choose what to receive.

### 1.4.2 — 2026-09-14

Make MADSET yours with a personal profile and your preferred weight unit, kg or lb. Find InBody and body trends together in Progress > Body.

This update improves workout logging, weight entry, session timing, Arabic layout, and protection of older saved data. Rest reminders now use a short chime that stops on its own, with a distinctive two-short-and-one-long haptic while the app is open. Background notification sound and vibration follow your iPhone settings.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-09-05

This release is about not losing your work.

Workouts you logged can no longer be dropped or duplicated, dates and durations now come from one clock, and the encrypted Health Vault restores your complete history — sessions, sets, cardio, InBody, recovery and your plan.

Disconnecting WHOOP now genuinely withdraws MADSET's access instead of only forgetting it on this phone, and signing out waits for your backup to finish first.

Many accessibility fixes across the app, and Apple sign-in no longer leaves a half-created account behind if it fails midway.
