No account. No cloud. No subscription. Your training lives on your device — private, offline, and always yours. Simple Weightlifter is a barbell workout log for people who lift: track sets, reps and weight for every gym session, and let the app do the math. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app runs the whole workout. Start on either device and the two stay in step — log a set on your watch and your iPhone already knows. Each set opens with the exact plates to load, rest is counted down on your wrist, and heart rate and calories are recorded so the session counts towards your Activity rings. Out of range of your phone? Keep going. It all syncs when you're back together. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Every exercise keeps a chart of the weight you've actually lifted, so months of training fit on one screen. Jump straight to it from any day in the calendar. Missed targets are marked, so a plateau is obvious. PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD, HANDLED Set a starting weight and an increment. Hit your target and the app adds weight for next time; miss it and the weight holds where it is. Squat, bench, deadlift, 5x5, or a program of your own. PLATE CALCULATOR BUILT IN Tell the app which plates you own and it shows every loadable weight and exactly what goes on each side of the bar. No more mental arithmetic between sets. REST TIMER ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN A Live Activity keeps your rest timer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and in the Smart Stack on your Apple Watch, so you always know when the next set is due. BUILT FOR YOUR GYM Multiple bars and plate inventories per profile — home gym, commercial gym, travel kit — and switch between them in seconds. Kilograms or pounds, your choice. YOUR DATA, YOUR WAY Export a complete backup any time and import it on another device. No middleman, no server, no lock-in. Your export is your full training history, even if you delete the app. WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH Optionally write workouts and calories to Apple Health, and read your body weight for better estimates. Entirely your choice, revocable any time in Settings. Simple. Private. Yours.
