## What is Meso?

Most training apps guess. Meso earns.

Meso is a hypertrophy app built on an original, evidence-based progression engine. A mesocycle is a training block of four to six weeks that builds you up, then eases off so you actually grow. Meso runs yours end to end: it adjusts every week from what you did in the gym, not from a fixed template and not from hype.

What you lift sets the pace; how you're recovering sets the limits. Hit your numbers and your weights and reps climb; beat last week's best and you earn extra volume on top. Report soreness, joint pain, or a rough session and Meso backs off. You progress because you got stronger, not because a calendar said so.


What you get:

- A personalised mesocycle for your experience, schedule, and goals, with sensible per-muscle volume drawn from the literature.
- Weekly auto-progression: earned volume, RIR ramps, double progression, and warm-up ramps handled for you.
- Smart deloads, scheduled and reactive, so you back off before you stall.
- Real logging: last-week targets, a plate calculator, a full-screen rest timer, and per-set history.
- Any environment: full gym, a minimal home setup, or bodyweight only.
- Serious calisthenics, not an afterthought. When you can't add load, Meso progresses the movement itself (push-up to deficit to archer to one-arm), then graduates you to weighted reps. The same earned-volume engine, no barbell required.
- Over 300 exercises and 100-plus coach-built programs, each exercise with a cue and easy swaps.
- Honest science: every rule is grounded in published research and explained in plain language inside the app.

Private by design. Meso is local-first: no account, no sign-up, no server. Your data lives on your phone, and you can export a backup file any time so nothing is lost when you move to a new one. Nothing about your training is sent to us or anyone else.

Try it free. Your first mesocycle is on us. If Meso earns its keep, Meso Pro unlocks longer programs and continued growth at an honest price.

Meso Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, available as a monthly or an annual plan. The price is shown in your local currency in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. It renews at the same price unless you turn auto-renew off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.
