WOTools includes some useful tools that will help you while working out: - A timer: simple, easy to use, notifies you when a selected duration is over. - A chronometer: so simple! - A plate calculator: determines which plates to put on each side of a bar given a bar weight. - A reverse calculator: calculates the total weight given a bar weight and a number of plates. - A 1RM calculator (One-rep max): calculates 1RM corresponding to a certain number of reps and a given weight. WOTools is very easy to use and straightforward. Select the timer duration thanks to list of a pre-defined values (that you may customise), or from a wheel. The timer remembers the last duration you selected. Select the sound to be played when the timer is over (25 sounds are available). Modify the bar weight as simply as it is to input the total weight and to calculate which plates to put on each side of a bar, given a set of available plates (that you may customise). 1RM is calculated along with a table of percentages that will be useful for your training program. Choose the algorithm that provides the results that best suit you. Select a picture or a photo of yours to be used as a wallpaper in WOTools. WOTools is compatible with iOS 13 Dark Mode. WOTools works perfectly well without any internet connection.

Train with a coach that uses the context you choose to share. CREATE AND ADAPT YOUR TRAINING Ask WODForge for a workout or a training programme based on your goals, equipment and available time. Discuss changes with the Coach, replace a movement or ask to adapt your programme while preserving completed sessions. Adaptations happen when you ask the Coach; the app does not automatically rewrite your week. FROM WORKOUT TO JOURNAL Open a session in the timer, record your results and review your training history. A Live Activity keeps the timer visible on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Attach a whiteboard photo or a screenshot to ask the Coach to interpret a workout. MEMORIES YOU CONTROL Review the Coach's saved memories, inspect their available sources, edit them or forget them. Use a temporary conversation when you do not want it added to your local conversation history. APPLE HEALTH AND WATCH Choose whether to connect Apple Health. Sharing Health and Watch summaries with the Coach is a separate choice. With a paired Apple Watch, record heart rate during a workout started on the iPhone. The iPhone remains the workout clock; a Watch is optional. YOUR JOURNAL, YOUR CHOICE Use the Coach and local journal without creating a WODForge account. In Account, Sign in with Apple explains and enables automatic saving of your profile, conversations, workouts, results, memories and photos to your private account on Supabase. After reinstalling, sign in to the same account to recover previously saved data without importing a file. Existing signed-in users enable Save my history once. You can pause saving or delete the account in the app. Export and older-copy recovery remain available as separate choices. AI AND PRIVACY The coaching context and any photo you choose to attach are sent to OpenAI through WODForge's server. Onboarding explains this sharing before your first request. Temporary conversations are not saved in the local conversation history or WODForge's response replay store; technical metadata and the provider's processing policies remain separate.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WOTools at none against WOD Forge's 2. WOTools also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). WOD Forge's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
