About

Features

Stop scribbling sets on your phone's notepad. VIMOR is a fast, focused training log built for people who actually lift — log a full session in seconds and always know exactly where you left off. Never guess your numbers again. Every set shows what you did last time — weight and reps from your previous session, right there as you train. Tap once to carry it forward, then push for more. Progressive overload, without the mental math. Logging that keeps up with you. Big, thumb-friendly controls. Supersets, warm-up sets, and per-exercise notes. Built-in rest timers keep you moving between sets instead of staring at the clock. Build the routine that builds you. Save your go-to splits as reusable templates. Start a session in one tap, reorder on the fly, and make every workout your own. Watch your strength climb. Clear stats and history turn your training into a story you can see — volume, personal records, and progress over time, all in one place. Your whole journey, one tap away. Every session you've ever logged, searchable and ready. The longer you train, the more VIMOR is worth. Train with intent. Track what matters. VIMOR.
