PlankNote is the client tracker built for solo and freelance personal trainers. Everything a trainer needs to run their client relationships, in one place: CLIENT OVERVIEW See every client at a glance: status, goals, next session, last check-in. Search and filter your roster instantly, even with dozens of active clients. PROGRESS TRACKING Log weight, measurements, and photos after every session. Watch trends unfold in clean, simple charts. Compare before-and-after photos side by side to show clients exactly how far they've come. APPOINTMENTS, SYNCED Book sessions and they show up right in your calendar app: no double entry, no separate scheduling tool. Edit in PlankNote or your calendar, they stay in sync. EXERCISE TEMPLATES Build a workout once, reuse it across every client who needs it. Stop retyping the same sets and reps for every session. DASHBOARD Open the app and know exactly what your day looks like: today's sessions, which clients are overdue for a check-in, and how the month's shaping up. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Your next appointment and check-ins due, right on your home screen: no need to open the app to know what's next. PRIVATE BY DESIGN PlankNote runs entirely on your device, synced securely through your own iCloud account. No accounts, no company servers holding your clients' data, no ads. FREE TO START Manage up to 3 clients free, forever. Try PlankNote Pro free for 14 days for unlimited clients: subscribe only if it earns a place in your day.
