About

LiftMark

Features
Read full description

LiftMark is a strength-training log built around one idea: when you start a set, you should already see what you did last time. Tap a template and your workout is ready — every set pre-filled with the weight and reps from your last session with that exercise. No paper plan in your gym bag, no scrolling through history between sets. IN THE GYM • Templates for your training plan, including supersets • Every set shows "last time: 100 kg × 3" right where you need it • One tap logs a set — the rest timer starts by itself • Rest timer that survives a locked screen and sends a local notification • Per-exercise units: kilograms for the barbell, pounds for that one machine • Weights to two decimal places, for when the plates add up to 16.25 kg • Library of 107 exercises, plus your own AFTER THE SET • Graphs for any exercise: top weight, estimated 1RM and volume over three months, six months, a year, or everything you have • Records per exercise: heaviest set, best estimated 1RM, workout and set counts • Body measurements — weight, body fat, neck to calves, plus height and BMI — and any site you add yourself • Calendar history you can edit, and workouts you can add days later; records recalculate immediately • Weights remembered per template, so your heavy squat day and your light one stop overwriting each other • Optional RIR logging YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS No account. No sign-in. No cloud. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. Everything you record stays in your phone, and the app works with the network switched off. Export the whole thing as a single JSON file whenever you want a backup. English and Czech, dark interface, large touch targets, one-handed operation with sweaty fingers between sets.
