A strength log for iPhone built for one thing: getting your sets down fast and keeping them yours. No account. No feed. No subscription required. Your training data lives on your phone and answers to nobody but you. NOTHING BETWEEN YOU AND THE BAR Built for lifters who program their own training and just want it written down. · No account to create. No feed to scroll. No ads, ever — not even in Free. · No database of exercises you'll ignore. No preset programs you won't run. · No analytics, no trackers, no third-party SDKs. The app makes zero network requests to us — there's no "us" to phone home to. FREE FOREVER The core app is free forever. No trial clock, no feature that quits on you after two weeks. · Start logging in minutes — no setup, no tutorial. · Track any combination of weight, reps, time, and distance per exercise. · Run single exercises, several at once, or whole routines with one tap. · Rest between sets with the built-in timer — choose your default duration and alert. · Separate warmups from working sets, and rest between them at will. · Load your barbell with the built-in plate calculator. · Add per-exercise and per-session notes to reference later. · Scroll back through every session on the calendar. · Watch your heaviest weight and estimated 1RM climb on progress charts. · Back up manually and export everything to CSV. · Every set saves as you type, so a workout is never lost — and anything that deletes data always asks first. LIFT LOGGER PRO — one-time purchase Pro buys the tools that do the thinking between sets. Quality-of-life upgrades; nothing here holds your training hostage. · Set goals on any exercise, with a trophy for the session that clears it. · Pick your 1RM formula: hybrid (default), Brzycki, Epley, Lander, or an average of all three. · Advanced progress charts: estimated 3, 5, 8, and 10 rep maxes, volume per set, and volume per session. · Customize the plates on your rack, and the plate calculator updates with new combinations. · Warmup calculator: pick a percent, get the exact bar load from your own plates. · Write completed sessions straight to Apple Health — synced on your device, never through us. · Back up automatically to your own iCloud Drive, encrypted under your Apple ID. We never receive a copy and couldn't read one if we did. · Migrate your CSV history from another tracker instead of starting from zero. LIFT LOGGER SUPPORTER — monthly The only subscription, and it unlocks nothing functional. Every real feature lives in Free or Pro — this one just says thanks. · 15 accent colors. · Alternative app icons. · Funds ongoing development. YOUR DATA, ACTUALLY YOURS Every exercise, set, note, and personal best lives in a local database on your iPhone. No crash reporting, no advertising identifier, no "anonymized" usage analytics. The one exception: Apple processes purchases through StoreKit — we never see payment details or your identity. Delete the app and your data goes with it; your backups stay yours until you delete them. BUILT FOR EVERY LIFTER Accessibility is designed in, not patched on. · Full VoiceOver support — controls are labeled, and abbreviations like "Wt" and "3RM" are spoken in full. · Log sets hands-free with Voice Control — useful when your hands are full of barbell. · Full Dynamic Type support; layouts reflow instead of truncating. · A true dark appearance, WCAG AA contrast, and nothing conveyed by color alone. · Reduced Motion respected, and the rest timer works without sound — countdown on screen, haptic tap when it ends. Download it, add a bar, log a set. That's the whole onboarding. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
