## What is Notch?

Notch is a free, private gym workout tracker. Built for lifters who just want to log a session, see their progress, and move on with their day.

One thing. Done well.
Log sets and reps. See your progression. That's it. No social feed, no streaks chasing you, no badges to collect, no plan recommending what you should bench tomorrow.

Your data stays on your phone.
No account to sign up for. No cloud sync. No analytics. No tracking. Notch makes zero network calls. The only thing that ever leaves your phone is what you choose to export.

Free. Forever. No catch.
No ads. No paywalls. No "Pro" tier. No "upgrade for charts." Every feature is in the free app.

Features:
• Log workouts grouped by muscle group + cardio
• 100+ built-in exercises across Chest, Back, Legs, Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps, Core, and Cardio — plus add your own
• Five exercise types: weight × reps, bodyweight reps (with optional added weight), distance + time, distance, time
• Per-exercise variations saved as a pick-list (so analytics stay clean)
• Optional partial-rep tracking per set
• Rest timer between sets — runs even when the screen is locked
• Calendar view with colored muscle-group dots for every gym day
• Progress charts per exercise + variation: estimated 1RM, top-set weight, total volume, reps over time
• Custom metrics — body weight, resting HR, anything numeric
• Daily notes per day
• Locations (home gym, commercial gym, etc.) with per-location progress filtering
• Full JSON export/import — your data is portable, always
• Light + dark themes that follow the system
• Metric and imperial units

What Notch will never have:
Accounts. Ads. Push notifications begging you to come back. Streaks. Social sharing. AI coaches. Subscription tiers. Email lists. Crash reporters. Analytics SDKs.

Just a gym log. The way it should be.
