## What is Plate Calculator?

Type your target weight and read the exact plates for each side of the bar, drawn large enough to read from the bench.

Most plate calculators assume a perfect rack. This one solves against the plates you actually own. Tell it once what lives in your gym, and every answer is loadable, exact, and honest: when a weight cannot be built from your plates, it says so and offers the closest weight below and the next one above. Nothing is rounded away in silence.

WHAT YOU GET

• A drawn barbell, colour coded to competition standards, with your own colours if your gym differs
• Exact solving, even on odd racks. The math is a proper solver, not a best guess, so 13 + 12 wins over 20 when it should
• Warm up ladder: your working weight becomes the sets that lead up to it, every rung loadable with your plates
• Setups for every gym in your life: the kg gym, the lb garage, the loaded home rack. Switching takes two taps
• Kilos and pounds, converted correctly, shown in the unit printed on the plates in front of you
• Screen stays awake between sets, and the result taps back so you feel an exact hit

Pay once. No ads, no subscription, no account, no tracking. Everything stays on your phone and works in airplane mode.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.1 — 2026-09-17

The first launch also asks which gym you train in, so the answers use plates your rack holds. Tap the plate sizes under the bar to load pairs by hand and read the total. Type per side if you think in plates, not totals: switch it on in Settings. Kilos and pounds are one switch beside the weight. Thank you for the feedback: it shaped this update.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-11

The first launch asks kilos or pounds and opens on a loaded bar. The calculator is redesigned: goal and bar in one grid with a unit switch each, a result card that says exact, closest below or more than your plates before the number, and the big key reads Warm up: it saves the weight and opens the sets leading up to it. The app now speaks 16 languages, chosen from your phone's language. Send feedback and Rate the app live in Settings. Thank you for the reviews.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-23

The Skip button on the first run walkthrough ignored taps. Fixed: it now responds on every page, so you can jump straight to the calculator.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-20

No release notes.
