Liftin' is the gym tracker for people who lift. Log a set with one tap, let your weights progress automatically, and build the program you want with AI, on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. TRACK WITH ONE TAP • A clean workout screen that puts your next set front and center. Log it, let the rest timer run, move on. • Live Activity and widgets keep the current set and the rest timer on your Lock Screen. • 300+ exercises with illustrations, plus your own custom exercises. • Plate calculator, warmup sets, supersets, notes, and a rest timer that follows you to the watch. PROGRESS AUTOMATICALLY • Set a progression rule per exercise and Liftin' adjusts the weights from your results: linear progression, 5/3/1 training max cycles, double progression, deloads. • Start from a built-in program: StrongLifts 5x5, Wendlers 5/3/1, nSuns, GZCLP, Push Pull Legs, Upper/Lower, PHUL and Full Body. Or build your own from scratch. • Charts for every exercise, estimated one rep max, volume, body measurements and progress photos, plus a calendar of your training. AI THAT KNOWS YOUR TRAINING • Describe the workout or program you want in your own words and Liftin' generates it with Apple Intelligence. • Liftin' in ChatGPT and Claude: ask how your bench press is progressing, add 2.5 kg to every deadlift set next week, or have a 3-day strength program built, from the assistant you already use. Works with any MCP client. APPLE WATCH • Track a whole workout from the watch alone, or mirror the workout running on your iPhone live on your wrist. • Heart rate and workouts go to Apple Health and fill your rings.

Post Run
Read full descriptionHide full description
Right after a run is the worst moment to make decisions. Post Run takes them off your hands: pick your stretches, hit start, follow along. The app counts the time, switches sides and tells you when you're done. A GUIDED SESSION A large ring shows how long you still have to hold. In the middle you see the stretch as a clear silhouette – first the starting position, then the stretch itself. At the end of every interval there's a short tone, the device vibrates and the screen flashes. You don't have to look to know when the side changes. STRETCHES WITH A SIDE SWITCH RUN TWICE AUTOMATICALLY Right, then left. Without you counting. 16 STRETCHES FOR RUNNERS Calves and Achilles, front and back of the thigh, hip flexors, adductors, glutes and IT band, lower back, shoulders and neck. Each with a silhouette, the muscle group and one sentence on what matters. ROUTINES THAT FIT YOUR RUN Ready-made templates for an easy run, a long run, intervals, and for days when time is short. Or build your own and give it a name. ON FIRST LAUNCH Three questions – how much time you have, what you usually run, where it tends to nag – and your first routine is ready. APPLE HEALTH With Pro, Post Run detects your last workout and builds a routine from it: more stretches after a long run, longer holds after a hard session, calves and quads after a lot of climbing. Intensity is judged against your own recent runs rather than fixed thresholds. What the app based its conclusion on is always shown. Finished sessions are written back to Health as a workout. KEPT PLAIN White background, black lines, no points, no badges, no notifications. The screen stays on during a routine. NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVER Post Run needs no registration and does not connect to the internet on its own. Your routines stay on the device. No tracking, no ads. FREE AND PRO Free: one routine with up to four stretches, all signals, and the full library to browse. Post Run Pro: as many routines as you like, unlimited stretches, your own hold time per stretch, and the Health integration. Pro is a one-time purchase of €3.99. No subscription, no recurring charges – pay once, keep it forever, on every device with the same Apple ID. Stretching is not medical advice. Only stretch to a comfortable pull, never into pain.
