## What is VALDA?

VALDA is the workout app the fitness industry should have built years ago. Proper workout logging, intelligent programme management, a watch companion that's faster than any phone, and the only cycle tracking that actually connects to your training.

Workout Logging That Respects Your Time

Log sets with full support for weight, reps, tempo notation, RPE, set types (warmup, dropset, AMRAP, backoff, rest-pause), cardio distance and duration, and supersets. Personal records are detected automatically across seven categories — max weight, max reps, max volume, estimated 1RM, max distance, best pace, and max duration. Every PR triggers a celebration on your wrist.

The Programme Parser

Find a programme anywhere — Reddit, a coach, a PDF, a forum post. Copy the text. Paste it into VALDA. The entire programme is structured in seconds: exercises, sets, reps, RPE targets, rest periods, tempo notation, percentage-based loading, deload weeks, phase names. What used to take twenty minutes of manual entry takes about ten seconds.
Supports 5/3/1, GZCL, PHUL, PPL, wave loading, and virtually any format. Five imports per month on Pro.

Watch Companion

Your phone stays in your bag. The Apple Watch app sends your current set to your wrist — exercise name, target reps, suggested weight. Adjust if needed. Tap complete. Next set loads instantly. Rest timer, heart rate monitoring, and exercise swaps all work from your wrist. It is the fastest workout logging experience available.

ValdaFLEX — Smart Exercise Alternatives
Machine taken? Tap the exercise, see alternatives ranked by muscle group overlap and movement pattern similarity. One tap to swap. Mid-session, no disruption, no muscles missed.

ValdaFREYA — Free Forever
Menstrual cycle tracking that actually connects to your training. Not a separate wellness app. Not a period tracker that knows nothing about your deadlift. Free. Permanently.

Flow-based cycle tracking with automatic phase detection
Contraceptive tracking and reminders (pill, IUD, injection, implant)
Pregnancy mode with trimester-specific exercise safety guidance
Daily observation scales: energy, mood, discomfort, sleep, bloating
Clinical cycle report PDF with markers for ~12 conditions — take real data to your GP
Phase-adapted coaching that adjusts training recommendations to your cycle

We will never sell your health data. Not to insurers. Not to advertisers. Not to anyone. Ever.

ValdaPEAK — Your Performance, Quantified
Volume trends, frequency tracking, strength curves with estimated 1RM, muscle group analysis, and cardio metrics. AI coaching overview from 16 weeks of data covering consistency, volume trends, and specific recommendations.

What's Free
Workout logging, exercise library, workout calendar, cardio tracking, tempo and RPE logging, one manual programme, 30-day history, and the entire ValdaFREYA suite including cycle tracking, pregnancy mode, contraceptive reminders, and clinical reports.

What's Pro
Everything in Free with unlimited history, personal records and 1RM tracking, post-workout coaching, unlimited programmes, smart auto-progression, programme import, performance dashboard, ValdaFLEX smart exercise swaps, ValdaFREYA phase-adapted coaching, and cross-platform sync including Apple Watch.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-05-20

A substantial update to VALDA on iPhone and Apple Watch, expanding how you log sessions and giving the watch experience a significant uplift.
  
Flexible workout creation

The Train screen has been redesigned around how you actually train. A single tap on Start workout now offers two paths:

  • Plan — build the session in advance with sets, weights and rest, then execute it.
  • Do — start lifting immediately and log freely as you go.
  
Either mode lets you add exercises mid-workout, swap one out when the equipment you wanted is busy, and adjust weights at any point. The workout you started follows the structure you chose; nothing locks you out.

A complete Apple Watch experience

The Apple Watch app has been substantially expanded. Logging from the wrist is now responsive enough to be a primary input, not a secondary one.

  • Pause, resume and discard workouts directly from the watch — useful for interruptions, equipment changes, or 		scrapping a session that isn't working.
  • A plate calculator appears automatically for barbell exercises, showing the exact plates required per side.
  • Native scroll indicators and a tap-to-scroll chevron make it obvious when there is more content below the visible 	area.
  • Add exercises, swap them, or skip them straight from the watch.
  • Add additional sets to an ad-hoc exercise when you decide to do more than planned.
  • Improved offline reliability — if the watch temporarily loses contact with your phone, mid-workout actions are 		queued and retried for up to seven days. Your data reconciles automatically once the connection is restored.
  • Background heart rate continues to be captured during a workout, even when the watch face is asleep.
  • Sign-in has been streamlined and now binds reliably on first authentication.
  • A cleaner idle screen shows today's programme day at a glance, with quick access to the exercise library, recent 	exercises and active workouts.

Programme tracking accuracy

Programme progression — the "next day" indicator that appears on both your dashboard and the watch — is now consistently accurate after completing or deleting a workout. Several edge cases that caused the dashboard and watch to disagree have been resolved.

Refinements throughout

Numerous small improvements across the app: 
  
  • Primary buttons on the Train screen are now clearly legible in both light and dark mode.
  • Workout completion no longer leaves stale state on the watch.
  • Sync conflict notifications can be dismissed when the underlying issue has resolved itself.
  • Exercise default weights now inherit from previous sets when a programme prescribes a placeholder.
  • Spacing, typography and contrast have been audited and tightened across most screens.
  
Compatibility

VALDA 1.1 requires iOS 17.0 or later and watchOS 10.0 or later. The Apple Watch companion app is included with the iPhone app — pair from your Watch app on the iPhone after installation.
  
If you encounter any issues, please get in touch through the in-app feedback option on the Settings screen. Thank you for using VALDA.
