Braced

Braced tracks your strength training and your cardio in one app: log sets at the gym, record runs, walks, hikes and rides with GPS, and see your progress over time. Start from your own templates, Braced's ready-made ones, or an empty session. Share workouts with friends when you want to, or keep everything private. LOG YOUR WORKOUTS - Log weight, reps, time, or distance, set by set, with last session's numbers in view. - Mark warm-up and drop sets so they stay out of your working numbers. - Rest timer between sets. - Build your own templates, use Braced's, or start from scratch. - Browse a full exercise library with instructions, target muscles, and equipment, and add your own exercises. RUNS, WALKS, HIKES AND RIDES - Record them with GPS: a live map, distance, pace, and splits, with voice feedback and auto-pause if you turn them on. - Follow a recording on the Lock Screen. - After each run: your route on a map, your splits, and your best efforts. - Import runs and rides from your watch through Apple Health, with their route, heart rate, and distance. - People who can see your runs also see their maps, without the first and last 200 m. Hide more, add private areas around home or work, or keep a run's map to yourself. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS - Review your history as a list or a calendar. - See volume, personal records, and how each lift trends over time, broken down by muscle and equipment. - Get a recap after every session, with the muscles you worked and how it compares to last time. - A Cardio tab with your weekly and monthly distance and time. Pro adds pace trends, race predictions, and a comparison of this year with last. - Braced Rewind: each month of training, told as a short story. BODY MEASUREMENTS - Log body weight, body fat, and tape measurements like waist, chest, and arms. - See trends, set goals, and get your BMI from your height. - Import weight, body fat, and waist from Apple Health (read-only). AI ANALYSIS (PRO) - Let AI review your recent training and report strengths, risks, and recommendations, based only on what you've logged. It isn't medical advice. SOCIAL - Follow people and see their workouts in a feed. - Like, comment, and post your own sessions. - Control who sees what: set your profile public, private, or hidden, and choose visibility per workout. ALSO IN BRACED - Dark mode. - Available in 11 languages. - Works offline: log without a connection and sync later. - Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. - Import workouts from Hevy or Strong, and measurements from Hevy or openScale. Export a backup or spreadsheet any time. BRACED PRO Braced is free for logging, GPS recording, up to 3 personal templates, personal exercises, history, calendar, and a workout-frequency overview. Pro adds unlimited personal templates, the full Braced template catalog, advanced statistics including cardio trends and race predictions, body measurement charts and goals, and AI analysis. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription available monthly or annually; the annual plan includes a 7-day free trial that becomes a paid subscription unless cancelled before it ends.
