A workout app that is ACTUALLY free. Build your split, log every set, and watch progress compound without the spreadsheet chaos. Maxlyft is a strength training app for lifters who want clear structure and honest numbers. YOUR SPLIT, YOUR WAY Create a rotating or weekly split with named days, rest days, and optional colors. Attach a routine to a training day, or start an empty workout when the plan changes. Your active split keeps today’s training ready to go — open the app and lift. LOG WITHOUT FRICTION Start today’s planned workout, resume mid-session after closing the app, or log freely. Sets are completed as you log them, and your last-session numbers appear as helpful references. A live timer, set count, and volume stay on screen while you train. Log barbell, dumbbell, bodyweight, assisted, duration, and distance work — including per-side weight. PRS THAT ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING Maxlyft highlights new records automatically and lets you track custom lifetime marks — best at a chosen weight, rep target, time, or distance. Finished workouts show a crown when you hit a PR. INSIGHTS, NOT NOISE See volume, sets, training time, and muscle-group distribution across 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, or all time. Filter by muscle or split day. Open any exercise for lifetime totals, records, and charts tailored to how you track it. BUILT AROUND YOUR LIBRARY No giant canned catalog to fight. Name your own exercises, tag muscles, save routines, and reuse them. Rename a lift and your history stays with it. TRAIN OFFLINE. KEEP YOUR DATA SYNCED. Logging is local-first, so a dead gym signal doesn’t stop the session. Sign in with Apple or Google to sync and restore your data across devices. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Check today’s session or your last 7 days of volume without opening the app. HOW TO GET STARTED - Choose your units and build your first split — rotating or weekly. - Add the lifts you actually do. - Start today’s workout from Train and log your sets. - Check Insights after a few sessions to see the trend.

Forkr reads the nutrition labels at your grocery store before you walk in, so you can shop for your goals without reading fine print in the aisle. PICK YOUR STORE Choose your local market and Forkr matches its shelves to your dietary needs. Now at Gus's Community Market (Mission, Mission Bay, Haight, Noriega) and Draeger's Market in Menlo Park, with more Bay Area stores on the way. EVERY ITEM, ALREADY READ FOR YOU Tell Forkr what matters to you: high protein, more fiber, lower sugar, lower sodium, plant-focused, simple ingredients, or a dietary restriction like gluten-free or dairy-free. Every product then carries a simple green, yellow or red dot, and the same verdict follows it from the shelf to the product page. AI NUTRITION INSIGHT Open any product for a plain-English read of its label: why it's green for you, where the trade-off is, and how it compares to the rest of its aisle at your store. Ask a follow-up question about any item. Nutrition information is informational, not medical advice. RECIPES BUILT AROUND YOUR GOALS Ask for a quick dinner, a high-protein breakfast, or whatever is in season. Forkr suggests meals that fit your preferences, explains why they fit, and adds the ingredients to your list in one tap. COUPONS AND WEEKLY DEALS See this week's deals at your store, matched to your goals. YOUR GROCERY LIST Keep a separate list for each store, add items straight from the shelf or a recipe, and check them off as you shop. SCAN IN THE AISLE Point your camera at a barcode to pull up an item's label and verdict on the spot. HONEST BY DESIGN Forkr shows where its facts come from and when they were observed. Product photos and label data come from licensed, attributed sources. A catalog listing does not guarantee an item is in stock today. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sign in with Apple. No ads, no tracking. Export or delete your account any time from Settings. Forkr is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Gus's Community Market or Draeger's Market.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Forkr at none against Maxlyft's 4. Forkr also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.1). Maxlyft's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
