About

Splitline

Features
Read full description

Splitline is a clean, sequence-driven workout split tracker built for consistent training. Instead of locking your program to fixed weekdays, Splitline treats your split as a living rotation. If you take an unexpected rest day, skip a session, or choose a different workout, the sequence adjusts logically so your plan still makes sense tomorrow. Open the app and you immediately know what today is: - today's split - whether it is a workout or rest day - your current streak - the next few days in the line Splitline is designed to feel calm, motivating, and easy to trust. Why Splitline feels different - Rotating split logic that follows your actual training, not a rigid calendar - Simple daily completion flow with room for rest days, skips, and workout overrides - Elegant streak milestones that reward consistency without noisy gamification - Clear progress view with current streak, longest streak, completed workouts, and momentum markers - Local on-device persistence with SwiftData for fast, private, dependable tracking - Minimal program editor for renaming, reordering, and resetting your split Whether you train on a push-pull-legs variation, a custom bodybuilding split, or a repeating strength routine, Splitline helps you stay consistent without overthinking the calendar.
