Hardlog is a gym logbook and nothing else. Log a set in seconds, see every PR the moment you hit it, and keep your training history on your terms. No social feed. No ads. No account. BUILT FOR THE GYM FLOOR • Big numbers and a gym-proof numpad: enter weight and reps, swipe to log. Chalky hands welcome. • Last session's numbers sit right under the input, so you always know what to beat. • The rest timer starts the moment you log a set and stays on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Warm-up sets, notes on any set, and one-tap swaps to an alternate exercise when the rack is taken. APPLE WATCH • Log sets from your wrist with ± steppers and the Digital Crown. • Rest with a full-screen ring and live heart rate, then finish the workout without touching your phone. • Every set lands on your iPhone. Lost signal mid-session? The watch keeps your sets and syncs when you reconnect. • Complications for your week streak and the rest countdown. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE • Estimated 1RM, rep records and a progress chart for every exercise. • Personal records marked the moment you beat them, and a clean summary when you finish: duration, volume, sets and every PR. • A history log with a calendar heatmap and monthly workouts, hours and PRs. • Bodyweight tracking with a 30-day trend. ROUTINES YOUR WAY • Build any program: Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, 5×5, 5/3/1 or your own split. • Group routines and let the rotation queue up the next day. • A weekly goal of 2 to 6 workouts. Rest days never break your streak. • Forgot a set? Resume a finished workout or edit the session afterwards. • Kilograms or pounds. YOUR DATA, YOUR CALL • Works fully offline. No sign-up, ever. • Optional encrypted iCloud backup with a recovery key that only you hold. New iPhone?
