Gymbell is a straightforward workout tracker built for people who want to follow their own program, log their sets, and see real progress over time. No clutter, no complicated setup — just open the app and train. YOUR PROGRAM, YOUR WAY Build workout templates exactly how you like them. Add the exercises you do, set your default sets and reps, and you're ready to go. Gymbell stays out of your way and lets you focus on lifting. SMART NEXT UP Not sure where to start today? Gymbell keeps track of what you've trained recently and suggests what to hit next — so you don't have to think about it. PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD MADE EASY Gymbell tracks your weights over time and nudges you when it's time to add a little more. Small steps, consistently applied, are what build real strength. BODY BALANCE See which muscle groups you've been training over the last 30 days. Great for making sure you're not neglecting anything or getting lopsided. STRENGTH CHARTS Watch your estimated 1-rep max trend climb for every exercise. A simple way to see that the work is paying off. APPLE WATCH COMPANION Log sets from your wrist, adjust reps with the Digital Crown, and let the rest timer run without touching your phone. Auto-advances to the next set, shows heart rate, and gives you a session summary when you're done. BUILD OR IMPORT YOUR PROGRAM Create templates by hand, or import your existing history from Strong via CSV. If you want, you can also have AI generate a multi-week program based on your goals — but it's entirely optional. YOUR DATA YOUR DECISION No account required. Your data syncs only to your own iCloud — it never touches third-party servers. Everything is stored using Apple's SwiftData. If you choose to use AI features, workout data is sent to the AI provider you select. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
