DCFT is the workout planner and personal coach for dual cable machines, also known as functional trainers or cable crossover stations. It turns your home gym into a complete strength training program. Two cable towers or just one: DCFT plans with what you have. BUILT AROUND YOUR EQUIPMENT Tell DCFT what you have: number of plates, plate weight, cable ratio (for example 2:1), bench, single handles, long bar, rope, ankle cuffs or a pull-up assist band. Every plan uses exactly that, and the app shows you which plate to set the pin at for every set. No math at the machine. Works in kg and lb. FITNESS CHECK FOR YOUR STARTING WEIGHTS A short test per movement pattern (push, pull, legs, core) works out your starting weights, so your very first cable workout already feels right. A PLAN FOR EVERY GOAL • Build muscle • Get stronger • Get fitter and lose weight • Stay healthy and mobile at 50, 60 or 70+ Pick your training days and session length, from a 20 minute workout to a full session. Beginners start with two simple full body workouts. COACHING DURING THE WORKOUT • Warm-up sets, rest timer and supersets • Progressive overload: the weight goes up when you are ready • Deload weeks, plateau help and a daily readiness check • Swap an exercise or tell the app that something hurts • Clear setup line: pulley height, attachment and pin position 246 EXERCISES, PLUS 10 FOR WARM-UP AND STRETCHING Chest press, cable row, lat pulldown, face pull, cable fly, squat, Romanian deadlift, Pallof press, woodchop and many more, each with an animated figure and coaching tips. Cable exercises always come first. Missing one? Add it as a custom exercise. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Week view, streaks, personal records, weekly volume per muscle group and a skill path from assisted pull-ups to the muscle-up. DCFT PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION) Detailed statistics, exercise notes, Apple Watch app, Live Activity and Apple Health. Try Pro free for 14 days. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Your training data stays on your iPhone, with export and import for backups. Available in 8 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese (Brazil).

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: XLINK PRO at none against DCFT's 5. XLINK PRO also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 18.0). DCFT's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
