IronQuill replaces your notes app and your physical notebook and pen. Get the same simple, distraction-free logging combined with the powerful analytics of a digital workout tracker. BUILT FOR SERIOUS LIFTERS No bloat. No tutorials telling you how to squat. No cartoon muscle diagrams. No social feed full of gym selfies. If you already know how to train, every one of those "features" is just another thing between you and the bar. IronQuill is a log and a lock — nothing else. WHY IRONQUILL The average lifter loses 15–20 minutes per session to their phone. Rest timers turn into Reels. Logging a set turns into checking messages. IronQuill uses Apple's Screen Time technology to lock the apps you choose for exactly as long as you train. No willpower required. LOG SETS WITHOUT TYPING Most trackers make you hammer a keyboard between every set. IronQuill doesn't. Intuitive input methods — quick-tap steppers, smart defaults from your last session, and one-tap repeat — mean logging a set takes a second, not a paragraph. Enter your numbers, put the phone down, lift. WHAT YOU GET ▪ APP BLOCKING DURING WORKOUTS — pick your distraction apps once; they're blocked automatically every time you start a session ▪ TYPING-FREE LOGGING — tap, don't type: steppers, smart defaults, and one-tap repeat log your sets in seconds ▪ LIVE ACTIVITY — your current exercise, set, and rest timer on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so you never need to unlock your phone mid-workout ▪ HOME SCREEN WIDGET — your weekly training tracker at a glance, right on your Home Screen ▪ PROGRESS THAT STICKS — history, streaks, and personal records that show up where you'll actually see them ▪ ZERO BLOAT — no exercise tutorials, no muscle heatmaps, no social network. Just your training. BUILT DIFFERENT Most fitness apps compete for your attention. IronQuill is designed to take as little of it as possible: block distractions, log your set, put the phone down, lift. Your focus is the feature. PREMIUM, NOT PESTERING IronQuill is a premium app with a free trial. That's the whole business model — which is why there's no feed, no ads, no notifications begging you to come back, and no clutter. You pay for a tool; the tool works for you. Try every feature free before you commit. For the price of a double scoop of pre a month. --- IronQuill is available as an auto-renewing subscription with a free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
