Use it as your workout tracker, gym log, lifting notebook, routine planner, and progress history in one focused app. Plan your training before you arrive, start a saved routine in seconds, log warm-up and working sets quickly, use recent performance to guide your next set, and review your history when you want to see what changed.

ALIGNMENT brings nutrition tracking, workout logging, and progress analytics together in one clean, native iOS app — so you don't need three separate apps to stay on track. NUTRITION TRACKING Log food your way. Scan a barcode for instant nutrition data from a verified database. Snap a photo and let AI estimate calories and macros. Describe your meal in plain English — "grilled chicken with rice and broccoli" — and get a detailed breakdown in seconds. Or search from a built-in food database and add items manually. Track protein, carbs, fat, and calories against personalized daily targets. See your macro split at a glance with clear progress bars. Save meals you eat regularly for one-tap logging — no more re-entering the same breakfast every morning. WORKOUT TRACKING Log strength training with a full library of 120+ exercises organized by muscle group and equipment. Create custom templates for your favorite routines and start workouts with a single tap. Track sets, reps, and weight with an active workout timer and configurable rest timer with haptic alerts. ALIGNMENT automatically detects personal records as you train — so you always know when you've hit a new best. Review workout history, total volume, and exercise-specific progress over time. PROGRESS & ANALYTICS See your fitness journey with clear weekly and monthly charts. Track body weight, workout volume, calorie trends, and personal records over time. ALIGNMENT connects with Apple Health to pull in steps, active calories, heart rate, sleep data, and more — giving you a complete picture without manual entry. APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION Seamlessly sync with Apple Health. Read steps, calories burned, heart rate, sleep, and weight. Write completed workouts and weight entries back to Health. Your data stays on your device and syncs privately. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Your health data is yours. ALIGNMENT uses on-device storage first and syncs securely to our backend. Photos sent for AI analysis are processed in real-time and never stored. No third-party trackers. No selling your data. PREMIUM FEATURES AI-powered food logging (photo, recipe scan, meal descriptions) requires ALIGNMENT Premium. Free users get full access to barcode scanning, manual logging, workout tracking, progress charts, and community features. Premium is available as a monthly or yearly subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings. Terms of use: https://usealignment.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://usealignment.com/privacy
