Dots is the workout tracker for people who want to lift. Build your routine once. Every session after that, Dots tells you exactly what to lift: it automatically adds weight when you complete your sets, and automatically deloads when you stall — classic progressive overload, handled for you. No spreadsheets, no math at the squat rack. TRAIN WITHOUT FRICTION • Start your workout and check off sets with one tap • Built-in rest timer starts automatically between sets • Live Activity on your Lock Screen — see your rest timer and current exercise without unlocking your phone PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD, AUTOMATED • Set your increment per exercise (e.g. +2.5 kg per successful session) • Fail a session? Dots tracks it and deloads by your chosen percentage after repeated stalls • Perfect for 5x5, 3x5, and other linear progression programs — or build your own SEE YOUR PROGRESS • Charts for every exercise — watch your lifts go up over time • Body weight tracking with its own trend chart • Full workout history: every session, every set, exactly as you performed it MADE TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY • Multiple profiles — share the app with a partner or track cut/bulk phases separately • iCloud sync keeps your data safe and on all your devices • No account required.
