Stop guessing. Pro builds your plan and recommends weight and reps for every set, adapting to how strong you are today. Free logging, no account. 14-day free trial. Alpha Progression tells you exactly what to lift. Every set, every workout. Build your plan in a minute, then follow weight and rep recommendations that adapt to how strong you are today. Most gym apps only record what you did. Alpha Progression plans what you should do next: a science-based training plan built for your goal, your experience and your equipment, and a progression recommendation for every single set. App of the Day on the App Store, twice. 4.9 stars from 40,000+ lifters. 25 million workouts logged. YOUR PLAN, GENERATED Pick your goal, the days you can train, how long you have and which muscles to prioritize. The plan generator builds a complete plan around the equipment in your gym: split, exercises, sets and rep ranges. Beginners and advanced lifters get fundamentally different plans, because they need different things. Every detail stays editable, or build your own plan from scratch. Need just one session? The workout generator creates a one-off workout whenever you want. A RECOMMENDATION FOR EVERY SET Before each set, the app shows the weight and reps to go for, based on your previous workouts and what you have already done today. Recommendations shift from set to set because fatigue is real: set 3 is not set 1. Keep hitting them and they keep climbing. Progressive overload without spreadsheets or guesswork. LOG FAST, STAY IN THE ZONE Weight, reps and RIR in two taps, with your notes and your last sets in view. Rest timer as a Live Activity, so the countdown and your next set sit on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. Supersets, dropsets, bodyweight, assisted and timed exercises. Works fully offline. 795 EXERCISES, REAL VIDEOS Every exercise filmed in a real gym with certified trainers. No stock footage, no animations. Setup, execution and cues for each one, plus an exercise evaluation of how well it builds muscle. Filter by muscle, equipment and compound vs isolation. Missing an exercise? Add your own, with a photo from your library or the camera, or copy an existing one as a starting point. SEE WHAT IMPROVED After every workout you see every record you beat: weight, reps, volume, estimated 1RM and 10RM, best per muscle group. Charts for strength, volume, sets per muscle, workouts per week, bodyweight and measurements. Streaks and achievements keep you showing up. AND MORE Warm-up calculator: warm-up sets are added automatically, scaled to the exercise, your first working set and the weights you have. Plate calculator: exactly which plates to load, or the closest weight below if your plates don't add up. Multiple gyms, each with its own equipment and weights; switch with one tap and your recommendations adjust. Periodization and deloads: ramp sets and effort (RIR) week by week and schedule deloads. Share plans with friends or coaching clients. Export everything as CSV. kg and lb, even mixed. An optional account syncs all your devices. Syncs with Apple Health. FREE VS PRO Free: unlimited workout logging, all 795 exercise videos, your own plans, measurements, rest timer, records, achievements, plan sharing and CSV export. No ads. No account required.

Unloop

Your phone didn't make you weak. It trained you. Every cue, every reflex open, every 2 a.m. scroll is a loop that learned to run without you. Unloop untrains it. Instead of another willpower fight you keep losing, Unloop turns quitting doomscrolling into a clear, science-backed plan. HOW IT WORKS - Map your loops. Pick the apps your thumbs open on autopilot. Each becomes a "loop" with its own habit-strength score. - Block them for real. Unloop uses Apple Screen Time to shield the apps you choose, during focus sessions, scheduled hours, or a strict lock you can't quietly undo. - Survive the urge. A blocked app simply does not open. Walk away and it counts. Under the strict lock, a 90-second pause stands between you and the scroll. - Follow the 66-day plan. A personalized plan weakens each loop a little more every day, built from your own answers. - Watch the scores fall. Honest numbers, one nightly report, and shareable certificates as loops fade. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Blocking alone fails, because you just turn it off. Unloop pairs the block with friction, timing, and a plan, the way habits actually break. It treats you like an adult running an experiment on yourself, not a child with a timer. BUILT HONEST - No ads. Ever. - We don't sell your data. - Your Screen Time usage never leaves your device. - Cancel anytime in Settings. FEATURES - Per-app blocking through Apple Screen Time (you choose the apps) - Focus sessions, scheduled blocked hours, and strict lock - Buddy keys, so a friend helps hold you to the plan - The shield on every open, with the 90-second pause under strict lock - Habit-strength scores and one honest nightly report - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - Mindful Minutes written to Apple Health (write-only: Unloop never reads your Health data) - Works on iPhone and Apple Watch Diagnosis is free: keep watching your loops at no cost, forever. Unloop membership unlocks unlimited blocking, the full 66-day plan, strict lock, and every tool above. SUBSCRIPTION Unloop offers auto-renewable subscriptions: - Weekly - Yearly, with a 3-day free trial for new members Or unlock Unloop once with Lifetime (one-time purchase).
