Read full description

sTrain is a notebook for workouts. You write down what you lifted. That is the whole idea. There is no coach, no algorithm and no progression engine deciding your next session. You build the program you actually train, log it set by set, and the app stays out of the way. BUILD THE PROGRAM YOU TRAIN Create training days and fill them with strength, bodyweight, cardio or timed exercises. Set the reps, the weight and the rest, drag them into the order you do them in, and reuse the day every week. Forty ready-made training days ship with the app - push/pull/legs, upper/lower, full body, 5x5, PHUL, Arnold splits and more - and every one of them is free to add and free to change. SEVENTY-SIX EXERCISES, ALREADY THERE Search the library by muscle group or by equipment: barbell, dumbbell, machine, cable, kettlebell, band, or nothing at all. Every exercise you create is saved to your own library, so you never type the same movement twice. LOG THE SET, NOT THE APP Start a session and fill in one row at a time: reps, weight, done. Mark a set as a warm-up, a drop set, or one taken to failure. The rest timer runs inline between sets and you can skip it whenever you like. The screen stays awake while you train. WATCH THE WORK ADD UP Streak, total training time, sessions per week, completion rate, average duration and your most trained exercises. Personal records are what you actually lifted - max weight by reps, per exercise - not an extrapolated one-rep max. The activity calendar marks every day you trained, with the month's sets, exercises and volume. MAKE IT YOURS Six colour themes, all free, with light, dark and system modes. Kilograms or pounds, switched at any time. ON YOUR DEVICE, NOT OURS No account, no ads, no data sales. Your training log lives on your phone and sTrain works fully offline. If you ever want it on a second device, a free Sapplify account turns on Sync. It is optional, and it keeps your log in step through our servers in the EU, encrypted in transit and at rest. FREE AND PRO Free gives you unlimited workouts across three training days, the last seven days of statistics, and every theme. sTrain Pro is a one-time purchase, never a subscription: unlimited training days, the full statistics history, personal records and progress, the activity calendar, and export, import and backup. Write down what you lifted. Come back and beat it.
