Built is the best way to track your strength training workouts. Our streamlined approach focuses on the three pillars of progressive overload: weight, reps, and time. By focusing on tracking your progress instead of complex diagrams that show you how to do a pushup, you can spend more time working out and less time clicking around. WHAT USERS SAY "Best app for tracking workouts and progress. I used to hit plateaus because I wasn't tracking reps and weight, now it's super easy for me to see what I did last week in order to progressively overload on each exercise." - Kevin R. "I've tried every workout app on the market and none of them are simple enough. I ended up going back to using a weightlifting journal with a pencil and paper. Finally I found Built and it's exactly what I wanted. It has the simplicity of a journal but it let's me track in a few clicks and spend more energy exercising." - Emma S. "When I'm in the gym, I just want to exercise. I've been working out for a decade and I don't want an app that teaches me what a squat is. I just want to enter what weights I do and move on. For that, Built is Perfect." - Adam R. FEATURES • Log your sets in 3 clicks or less with our sleek well-designed forms • No made up metrics.

Homebase

Homebase builds your training program from what's actually in your home — a pair of dumbbells, a kettlebell, a bench, a pull-up bar, or nothing at all. No filler, no generic PDF programs, no browsing hundreds of workouts. Answer a few questions and your week is built. THE COACH THAT REMEMBERS Homebase pre-fills every set with what you actually did last time, and quietly moves you up when you've earned it — real equipment increments, honest holds after rough days, a small back-off when you need to rebuild. Tell it a set felt easy or hard and it listens. Your notes ("left knee felt off") resurface exactly when that exercise comes back around. It also knows what's actually on your floor. List the pairs you own and every suggestion lands on real iron — and when the next pair is too big a leap, it adds reps instead. Four-week blocks roll into the next one on their own: your main lifts and their progress carry over while the accessories rotate. BUILT FOR HOME • Programs generated from YOUR equipment — change your gear, rebuild in seconds • Pick your split, or let the coach choose: full body, upper/lower, push/pull/legs • Tell it exactly which dumbbells you own — it never prescribes a weight you don't have • Rest timer in the Dynamic Island and on your Lock Screen • Short on time? Trim any session to 20 or 30 minutes without losing your main lifts • Form guidance and cues for every exercise — no video streaming required • Muscle heatmap: see what you've trained and what you've neglected • Progress charts, estimated 1RM trends, and PR history • Body weight tracking with Apple Health, both directions • Reminders on training days. A streak that respects your rest days. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Works fully offline. No account, no sign-up, no ads, ever. Your data syncs privately through your own iCloud — a new phone just has your history. FREE AND PRO Your first two coached workouts are free. After that, manual workout logging, the muscle heatmap, body-weight tracking, and your recent history stay free — no time limit. Homebase Pro unlocks your full generated program and the progression coach, per-exercise progress charts with estimated 1RM trends and PR history, the custom plan builder, unlimited program rebuilds, and your complete training history.
