Read full description

Fitlio is a workout tracker for people who follow a program. Build it, log every set in a tap or two, rest with a timer you can read from across the gym, and watch the numbers go up. No account, no feed, nothing to sign up for. Everything stays on your iPhone. YOUR PROGRAM, YOUR WAY • Choose how many weeks and days it has, then fill each day from the library or with your own exercises. • Set the reps, the rests and planned drop sets for every set. • Edit one week or all weeks, move days, insert rest days, or restart on a new date. • Copy a workout that went well straight back into the program. LOG SETS IN A TAP OR TWO • Every set comes prefilled with last time's reps and weight. • Tick a set, type a new number, or add a drop set that lands on plates you already used. • Timed sets for planks and cardio, each with its own countdown. • Swap or add an exercise mid-workout, just for today or for every week. A REST TIMER YOU CAN READ FROM THE BENCH • Full screen, big numbers, the set you just did and the one that comes next. • Keeps counting when the phone locks and tells you when the rest is over, chime included. • Add or take away time on the fly, or skip it. WATCH THE NUMBERS GO UP • Your best set per workout, charted for every exercise. • Every workout kept in History, set by set. • A calendar with your gym days, your planned days and your current streak. A LIBRARY WITH ILLUSTRATIONS • Over 220 exercises, filtered by equipment or found by name, many with hand-drawn illustrations. • Add your own exercises, with a photo. • Kilograms or pounds, your choice. ON YOUR WRIST, IN APPLE HEALTH • The Apple Watch app shows the exercise you are on, the next set and the rest countdown; tick sets, start timed sets and start the next day from the wrist. • With Apple Health on, finished workouts go to Health as strength training, and the watch records heart rate and calories. Fitlio reads nothing from Health. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no server, no analytics. Your programs and workouts live in the app on your iPhone and go wherever your device backup goes. FITLIO PRO Fitlio is free to try for 14 days. After that, Fitlio Pro unlocks training and program editing; your history and progress always stay readable. Fitlio Pro is available as a monthly subscription ($1.99/month) or a yearly subscription ($9.99/year). Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period and are charged to your Apple Account; manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.
