When developing Forma, I paid special attention to minimalism. As a result, I got a fully functional workout tracker, which works completely offline and has no extra functions at all. The interface is so intuitive that it is impossible to get lost. I’ve honestly tried my best to make it nice & simple! The app is great for both gym and at home workout, because the list of exercises is created by you. Instead of hundreds of preset workout programs (invented by nobody knows who), you form your own database - leave only what is important for you personally. ‣ Create any exercise: from yoga to strength training. ‣ Customize them: workout with dumbbells, barbells or with your own weight. ‣ Log your results in a few clicks. ‣ Keep track of your progress: stay toned, gain or lose weight. Together with other users who regularly write great reviews, we strive to keep the app simple. As a result, as many superfluous elements as possible have been eliminated from the app, but functionality has been retained. However, if you do miss something, you can always contact me directly from the app and I will try to implement your ideas. The only limitation of the free version is the maximum amount of 8 workouts. You can ignore this limit by deleting old workouts, or remove the restriction completely with a premium subscription at a reasonable price. This kind of support, as well as honest feedback, helps me grow the project. I promise, I do not and will not have any advertising and unnecessary purchases. Everything is extremely transparent. I am using it myself, so I do not want to make another Frankenstein out of the app. Policy: http://gymtracker.tilda.ws/privacy-policy Terms and Conditions: http://gymtracker.tilda.ws/terms-of-use Thank you for reading to the end, so it was not in vain!

About

Read full description

Walklands turns your everyday steps into epic journeys. Walk real routes through real cities, follow Scotland's great trails, or step into painted fantasy realms. Every step you take moves you across the map. TWO WORLDS Walk real routes from city to city: London to Edinburgh, Paris to Milan, Tokyo to Kyoto, the Camino de Santiago and more. Or step through the mist into six painted fantasy realms, from the Whispering Pines to the Frostfang Pass. Switch whenever you like; each journey keeps its own progress. THE HIGHLAND COLLECTION Seven real Scottish trails steeped in history and legend. March the Jacobite Road from Linlithgow's ruined palace across the Forth to Culross. Follow the West Highland Way through Glencoe. Walk the Great Glen to Culloden Moor and the Clava Cairns. Pass beneath the Quiraing on the Skye Trail. Every castle, stone circle and harbour unlocks with a painted scene and a true history note. EVERY STEP COUNTS Your daily steps and walking distance from Apple Health quietly move your journeys forward, whether you record a walk or not. Start a live GPS walk for time, distance, pace and steps, with a Live Activity on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Readings are filtered for accuracy and the same metres are never counted twice. Treadmill steps count too, and everything works offline. QUESTS AND LEVELS Three daily quests and two weekly challenges give you a reason to walk tomorrow. Keep your streak alive, climb from Wanderer to Legend across 25 levels, and collect 40 outfit pieces for your hiker, each one hidden at a landmark. Watch your whole year of walking fill in on the heatmap, and share cards of your biggest walks. PHONE AND APPLE WATCH Record walks on your wrist, with or without your iPhone nearby. Walks sync back and save to Apple Health exactly once. A watch-face complication shows today's steps and journey progress, Siri can start, pause and finish a walk hands-free, and a Home Screen widget starts your next walk with a tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your walks never leave your iPhone. No account, no analytics, no tracking. Walklands carries Apple's "Data Not Collected" privacy label, and the optional iCloud backup is Apple's own. ONE PURCHASE, YOURS FOREVER Pay once and every journey, collectible, quest and feature is yours. No ads. No subscription. No in-app purchases, ever. Your next adventure starts at your front door.
