Setgraph is the fast, no-fuss way to track your lifts and actually achieve progressive overload. Log a set in seconds, then watch your strength climb on clear, real-time graphs. Built for lifters of all levels, it stays simple and quick, so logging never gets in the way of training. Features Fast and Simple • Instantly log sets with minimal taps, saving time and keeping you focused on your workout. • Record supersets, circuits, and multisets together, so grouped movements stay fast to log. • Rest timers start automatically after recording a set and are accessible from your Lock Screen or Dynamic Island. • Manage weights effortlessly with Smart Plates, which calculate totals instantly. • Swipe to replicate previous sets or log new ones with ease. • Use the “Next Set Due” notification to stay on track without reopening the app. Personalized Workout Plans • Choose your primary focus: achieve a specific look with aesthetic goals or optimize performance for a sport or activity. • For aesthetic goals, target specific muscle groups to “grow” or “define” and build your ideal physique through strength training. • For performance goals, focus on improving strength, endurance, and power to excel in your chosen sport or activity. • Build and customize your own routines, or use a plan. Either way it drops straight into your workout lists, ready for immediate logging without any setup.
