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.

Stop guessing if you're getting stronger. Atlas scores every workout against your last one, so progress is a number you can actually see and beat. Most logbooks just store what you lifted. Atlas tells you what it means. Using your estimated 1-Rep Max (e1RM), every set is compared to the same set last session and turned into a single performance score for your workout. Go heavy or go high-volume. Atlas scores it fairly either way. WHY LIFTERS USE ATLAS • Every set scored vs. your previous session - no more guessing • One clean workout score so you instantly know: better or worse? • Built on e1RM (Epley formula) - heavy days and volume days count fairly • Fast, distraction-free logging with a big tap-friendly keypad • Full history for every exercise, set by set • Session analytics that show your trend, not just today • Build your own routines and exercises in seconds BUILT FOR THE GYM, NOT THE COUCH Bold, high-contrast, and one-handed. Log a set between reps without fighting tiny buttons or cluttered menus. PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD, MADE OBVIOUS Progress isn't a feeling. It's a percentage. Atlas turns every session into a score you can chase. Beat your last number, and you know the work is working. Download Atlas and make your next workout count.
