Anneal knows when to deload. It reads seven signals from your real training, grinding sets, missed reps, a spike in recent workload, low readiness, and your schedule, then suggests a recovery week the moment the pattern earns one. Each suggestion names the signal that fired, so you can see exactly why the timing is right. Accept it and Anneal drops your weights, trims your volume, and steps you back up. Deload detection is free for everyone. LOG FAST, LOG ANYTHING Sets, supersets, RIR, AMRAP targets, and timed sets, with lbs or kg per exercise. Auto-generated warm-up ramps for any lift. A plate calculator with custom bar and plate inventories. Rest timers that survive screen-off, backgrounding, and the mute switch, with the timer, elapsed time, and your next set live on the lock screen and Dynamic Island. Forgot your phone? Log yesterday's workout after the fact and edit any past session. PROGRESS ON EVERY SET Every set arrives pre-filled with the weight and reps to try next. Tap "Why this number?" for the reasoning in plain English. Anneal reads the RIR you log and acts on it. When a lift stalls, Anneal says so and suggests a change. The engine is deterministic: the same history produces the same advice, and every suggestion explains itself. ONE LOG FOR THE WHOLE ATHLETE Lifting, cardio, mobility, stretching, timed holds, and bodyweight work all live in one place. Build structured intervals and run them with a round-by-round live player. Cardio progression works in RPE zones, and fixed-distance best efforts cover 400m to 10K. The PR board spans barbell, bodyweight, and cardio records, with estimated 1RM trends. PLANS THAT BUILD THEMSELVES Generate a session for your equipment, goals, and injuries, then reroll any single exercise when the rack is taken. Run proven programs with canonical auto-progression: 5/3/1 BBB, GZCLP, and nSuns, plus a built-in training-max editor. Plan the week on a calendar, fill it from a split, and let scheduled sessions generate themselves. Save reusable templates and multi-day splits. Pick from 800+ audited exercises with instructions, or create your own. YOUR TRAINING IN NUMBERS Volume, strength-curve, consistency, and activity heatmap analytics, with recent windows free on every chart. Log bodyweight and body fat. Every session you ever logged stays browsable, free, forever. YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE Anneal is local-first: your log lives on your device and the full engine works offline. Sign in and everything is backed up and restorable on a new phone. Import your full history from other workout apps via CSV in one tap. Export it all as CSV or JSON, free, always. TRAIN TOGETHER Follow friends, cheer their PRs with flame likes, and see their training in a clean activity feed. Browse the community library, rate programs in half-stars, clone what you like, and publish your own. Earn XP on training days and climb from Cold Iron to White Heat. Rest days are safe. ANNEAL PRO Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: $6.99 a month with a 7-day free trial, or $49.99 a year ($39.99 for your first year at launch). Cancel anytime in App Store settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nirvana Life at none against Anneal's 2. Nirvana Life also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Anneal's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
