A workout app that is ACTUALLY free. Build your split, log every set, and watch progress compound without the spreadsheet chaos. Maxlyft is a strength training app for lifters who want clear structure and honest numbers. YOUR SPLIT, YOUR WAY Create a rotating or weekly split with named days, rest days, and optional colors. Attach a routine to a training day, or start an empty workout when the plan changes. Your active split keeps today’s training ready to go — open the app and lift. LOG WITHOUT FRICTION Start today’s planned workout, resume mid-session after closing the app, or log freely. Sets are completed as you log them, and your last-session numbers appear as helpful references. A live timer, set count, and volume stay on screen while you train. Log barbell, dumbbell, bodyweight, assisted, duration, and distance work — including per-side weight. PRS THAT ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING Maxlyft highlights new records automatically and lets you track custom lifetime marks — best at a chosen weight, rep target, time, or distance. Finished workouts show a crown when you hit a PR. INSIGHTS, NOT NOISE See volume, sets, training time, and muscle-group distribution across 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, or all time. Filter by muscle or split day. Open any exercise for lifetime totals, records, and charts tailored to how you track it. BUILT AROUND YOUR LIBRARY No giant canned catalog to fight. Name your own exercises, tag muscles, save routines, and reuse them. Rename a lift and your history stays with it. TRAIN OFFLINE. KEEP YOUR DATA SYNCED. Logging is local-first, so a dead gym signal doesn’t stop the session. Sign in with Apple or Google to sync and restore your data across devices. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Check today’s session or your last 7 days of volume without opening the app. HOW TO GET STARTED - Choose your units and build your first split — rotating or weekly. - Add the lifts you actually do. - Start today’s workout from Train and log your sets. - Check Insights after a few sessions to see the trend.
