SetDeck: Plan the week. Log every set. Watch the numbers climb. SetDeck is a strength training companion for people who want structure without friction. Build a weekly routine, work through it set by set, and let SetDeck keep the history, the stats, and the streaks. Then check in on hydration and calories with a swipe, right alongside your training. BUILD YOUR WEEK Plan up to seven training days, each with its own ordered list of exercises. Add notes, equipment, and a reference video to any exercise. Type an exercise name and SetDeck can suggest the muscle groups it works, entirely on device. TRAIN SET BY SET Every exercise holds the sets you plan to do: reps and weight, as many as possible, timed, or freeform. As you train, log what you actually did, add an RPE if you want, and swipe on to the next card. Start a strength workout and a Live Activity keeps the elapsed time on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. SEE REAL PROGRESS SetDeck records a history entry every time you finish a set. The Stats tab turns that history into volume trends, personal records, a muscle heatmap, balance analysis, and intensity breakdowns so you can see what is working and what needs attention. EARN ACHIEVEMENTS Unlock badges for consistency, volume, variety, strength milestones, and a fully built routine. Hit a plate milestone or a month-long streak and SetDeck celebrates with you. HYDRATION AND ENERGY Log water and calories with a swipe, and see today's totals against your goals. Everything is written to Apple Health, and Home Screen widgets show hydration and energy at a glance. APPLE WATCH See today's routine on your wrist, log sets as you finish them, and follow a guided rest timer between sets. Start or stop a workout from the Watch, and keep today's session on your watch face with a complication.

Your life does not fit a fixed habit tracker. DayForm lets you build a daily tracker around what matters to you: routines, mood, focus, training, sleep, measurements, notes and more. Mix field types, check in in seconds, then look back across your days to spot associations in what you logged. BUILD YOUR OWN DAILY TRACKER • Create reusable cards for any routine or area of life • Combine checkboxes, ratings, counters, timers, notes and measurements • Use scoring when a number helps, or keep a simple record • Start from the community store, or describe what you want and let AI draft it SEE THE PATTERN, NOT JUST THE STREAK • Review days on a calendar • Add tags for context such as travel, illness or a deload • Compare what you logged across routines ADD APPLE HEALTH CONTEXT With permission, DayForm can show supported Apple Health information in your daily view, including a morning Readiness read from last night's sleep and recovery. Health data stays on your device. DayForm does not diagnose conditions or prove what caused a result. JOURNAL IN THE MOMENT Add text, photos or voice to your Daybook so the details behind a score do not disappear. Voice notes are transcribed for you. FOCUS, MEALS AND RECEIPTS Run a focus timer for deep work, log meals by photo or barcode, and photograph a receipt to keep the line items with the day. BRING YOUR OWN ASSISTANT Connect DayForm to ChatGPT or Claude and work with your own journal from inside the app you already use. Ask what you logged last month, add an entry by voice, build a tracker by describing it, or send a photo straight into today. You approve the connection, you see every app that holds access, and you can revoke it in one tap. Location history and receipts stay behind their own separate switches. LEARN IT IN MINUTES Guides are built into the app, covering everything from your first day through connecting an outside assistant. DAYFORM PRO DayForm Pro unlocks AI-assisted questions about your journal, rich media, outside assistant connections and other Pro features. When you use AI chat, relevant journal context may be sent to DayForm's third-party model provider to generate a response. Journal entries sync to DayForm's cloud. Apple Health data stays on your device. DayForm is a reflection and tracking tool, not medical advice. Terms: https://dayform.day/terms.html Privacy: https://dayform.day/privacy.html
