A gym workout log for lifters who train by effort. Log weight, reps and reps in reserve (RIR) in seconds, and see exactly what you did last time. NotchLift tracks progressive overload the honest way: a record only counts when the effort backs it up. Effort is tracked in reps in reserve (RIR), the scale used in strength-training research. Estimated 1RM averages the established Epley, Brzycki and Lombardi formulas, adjusted for how many reps you had left. WHAT'S FREE — AND STAYS FREE • Unlimited logging, full history, no ads, no account. • Your last session for every exercise, visible while you log the next one. No scrolling through a notes app to find it. • A photo for every exercise, and its how-to one tap away on the name. • Custom exercises that fit your program, not the other way around. • Forgot to hit Finish? Set the time you actually trained, after the fact. • Import from CSV. Export to CSV, always. Your sets are yours — never locked. • Deloads are planned, not punished. Log 30 lbs less and nothing complains. WHAT PRO ADDS Pro is the analysis layer. Your data is never gated — only the lens. • All-time trends across eight views: strength, volume, effort, records, body, fatigue, notes, exercises. • Readiness that suggests when to push. Suggests. Your program stays yours. • Cut report: dropping weight while keeping strength, on record. • Muscle coverage: which muscles your week actually trained. • PR ladders and estimated 1RM trends across your entire history. WHAT'S NOT HERE No confetti over nothing, no streak guilt. There is no feed and nothing to follow. Logging a set takes seconds, because that is the whole point. WHO IT'S FOR Lifters coming from Apple Notes, or from a spreadsheet that hangs mid-set. Lifters tired of free plans that break their program. Anyone who wants to know two things: what did I do last time, and is it working. Start from your next set, or import your history. If you ever leave, everything exports with you. NotchLift Pro is available as a monthly or annual subscription. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
