1.6.0
July 15, 2026
• The Percentage Calculator is now free. The full 20–120% table — mapped to your exact plates, with the nearest loadable weight on every row and built for percentage-based programming — is unlocked for everyone. No Pro, no trial. • One export sheet for your workout. Copy your session as clean text, or share it as a branded Card or Story image — all from a single Text · Card · Story sheet on the Workout tab. • Start-fresh prompt. Come back hours later, tap "Add to Workout," and PlatePal asks whether to continue the old session or start a new one — so yesterday's lifts don't blend into today's. • Polish and fixes throughout. Thanks for lifting with PlatePal!
