KeepUp tracks your habits on a year-at-a-glance heatmap — one tap to check off, and a full year of progress is right there to see. A calm way to build habits — without streak guilt, badge chasing, or a wall of daily notifications. Miss a day? You just start again — no lecture, no reset shame. Link a habit to Apple Health and it checks itself off — free for everyone, no account needed. WHY KEEPUP Consistency you can see A full year of activity, mapped day by day. Six habits or one, the heatmap makes invisible progress visible — at a glance, every morning. Streaks, without the guilt trip Missing a day doesn't erase your history or reset a countdown designed to punish you. KeepUp shows your best streak next to your current one, and moves on. It can complete itself Link a habit to Apple Health — steps, exercise, mindful minutes, active energy, or sleep — and KeepUp checks it off for you when you hit the goal. This works for every user, free, always; it's Apple's own capability, not something we charge for. Fix your history Forgot to log a run three days ago? Tap that date on the calendar and mark it.

About

CREST

Features
Read full description

Most lifting apps are a notebook. CREST is a scoreboard: log only your new maxes, and see exactly how strong you are. NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. NO WORKOUT LOG. Open it, log a PR, close it. Your lifts stay on your phone. YOUR LIFTS RANKED From Wood to Olympian, against lifters at your bodyweight. Your overall rank comes from Push, Pull and Legs, and every lift shows the kilos to its next rank. PRS THAT COUNT YOUR BODYWEIGHT A PR is measured as a share of your bodyweight on the day you lift it, so a lighter you lifting the same counts for more. KNOW WHEN TO GO FOR IT (PRO) CREST reads your reps, compares them to your real best, and says: ready for a PR, try 97.5 kg. One tap to log it. STRONGER SINCE DAY ONE One number for how much stronger you are since your first PR, with the climb as a chart. Per lift: your maxes for 1, 5 and 10 reps, your PR history, plates per side, and gym milestones like the 2-plate bench. COMING FROM ANOTHER APP? Import your history from its CSV export in one tap. SHARE IT Clean cards for a new PR, your rank and your progress, on your own photo if you want one. CREST PRO Free keeps one Push, one Pull and one Legs lift (one more for telling a friend), with your ranks, progress and share cards. Pro adds when to go for a PR, the weight to try, and every lift you train. $2.99 a month, or $17.99 a year with 7 days free. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
