Gym Log is a simple, ad-free tracker to track your workouts. Log a set in a couple taps, see your strength trend upward week over week, and never lose track of how much rest time you have left again. BUILT FOR THE SET-BY-SET GRIND • Log reps, weight, and RPE in seconds. The last session's numbers are right there to beat. • Warm-up, drop, failure, and AMRAP set types. • Supersets: group exercises and move through them together. • A built-in plate calculator does the math on the bar. SEE REAL PROGRESS • Estimated 1-rep max (e1RM) and best-weight tracking per exercise. • Progress charts and a full session history for every lift. • A training heatmap and streaks that reward showing up. REST TIMER THAT ACTUALLY HELPS • A single, always-visible rest countdown that survives navigating around the app. Free. • Time-sensitive alerts break through Focus so you never miss the next set. Free. • With Gym Log Plus: the countdown follows you to your Apple Watch and your Lock Screen, so you are free to doomscroll between sets without losing track of time. MORE THAN THE BARBELL • Runs: log distance, time, and pace, with weekly mileage and a 12-week trend. Optionally import your running workouts from Apple Health (read-only). • Bodyweight & InBody: track weight, body fat, and muscle mass over time. • Weekly schedule and a Today view that tells you exactly what's on for the day. YOURS, EVERYWHERE • Home-screen and Lock Screen widgets for today's plan and your streak. • Everything syncs to your account and works offline. • Export all your data as JSON anytime. Gym Log is free: logging, charts, history, runs, bodyweight, widgets, and the in-app rest timer. Gym Log Plus (monthly subscription with a 7-day free trial) adds the rest timer on your Apple Watch and Lock Screen, plus machine setup photos, and helps keep an indie app alive.
