- Post-workout Progression Overview. See exactly what progressed after every session, including your muscle split and any personal records.
- Expanded exercise library. Step-by-step descriptions for nearly every exercise, plus new images for ones that didn't have any before.
HISTORY

- Redesigned session history with badges that show what changed at a glance, like a progression bump or a manual edit.
- Session details now include a summary of muscles targeted, sets and exercises completed, and any personal records.

SMARTER AUTO PROGRESSION

- Your progression status now shows right in the exercise header during a workout.
- Added a note and color indicator when a set falls below your progression's starting range.
WORKOUT AND ROUTINE IMPROVEMENTS

- Workout cards now show your full exercise list instead of a truncated preview.
- Added a simplified duplicate option right on the workout card.
- Smoother navigation: screens push and slide in instead of hard-swapping, and tabs stay loaded as you switch between them.
TIMERS

- Session timing now stays reliable in the background independent of your sound settings.

POLISH

- Fixed the iPhone numpad bumping the screen mid-animation, and fixed a few inputs that were bringing up the full keyboard instead of the numeric one.
- Various other bug fixes and improvements throughout the app.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-23

NEW

- iPad support. The app is now fully compatible with iPad.
- Light and Dark themes. Choose Light, Dark, or let the app match your iPhone's system setting.
- Live heart rate on Apple Watch. See your heart rate right on your wrist while a workout is active.

APPLE WATCH

- More reliable syncing with your iPhone, plus better performance offline and in sync mode.

- Your chosen feedback now shows in the exercise header during a workout. Tap it any time to review or change your choice.

WORKOUT AND ROUTINE IMPROVEMENTS

- Cleaner routine editor. Weight, reps or duration, and rest fields now start empty with the default shown as a hint, so it's clear what you've actually entered.
- Adding a set now carries over your last set's values to save you time.
- Safer set logging. Sets with no reps or duration are flagged in red and can't be marked done, so you'll never log a zero by accident.
- Clearer history for on the fly changes. Adjusting weight or reps mid workout is now marked as an edit rather than mixed in with real progress, and shows the before and after values when you save changes to your routine.
- Manage exercises without leaving the Create Workout screen. View, create, and edit exercises right there.
