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.

MOSS Get your time back. The feed was never meant to end. MOSS helps you make scrolling feel like a choice again. Walk, move through the real world, and bring back time for the apps you enjoy. Your steps become Minutes Back, a small amount of intentional scroll time you can use without guilt. No streaks. No shame. No “you failed.” Just a calmer relationship with your phone. Walk outside. Get your time back. MOSS gives you a little time every day. Then, when you move through real life, you can bring more back. Use it for a deliberate scroll session, called a Window, instead of falling into an endless feed without noticing. Your time is still yours. MOSS simply helps you choose it. A living place, not another dashboard. Every walk quietly changes your world. Moss spreads across stone. Roots deepen. The ground becomes softer, greener, more alive. Growth appears slowly, mostly while you are away from the app. There are no points to collect. No virtual tree that dies when you have a bad day. No pressure to be perfect. Just a small living record of the time you made room for outside the screen. With a Moss Undergrowth subscription, you can: Turn real-world movement into intentional scroll time Create finite, conscious scrolling Windows Keep a daily amount of time that is already yours Build a healthier rhythm without hard blocks or guilt Watch a private world grow as you spend more time in real life Use optional Screen Time tools for extra structure Choose movement options that work for you MOSS REQUIRES A SUBSCRIPTION All MOSS features require an active Moss Undergrowth subscription: Yearly: $54.99 per year ($4.58 per month equivalent) Monthly: $17.99 per month Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. MOSS is not a fitness app. It is not a productivity app. It is not a punishment tool. It is a quieter way back to your real nature. Walk outside. Get your time back.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Maxlyft at free with in-app purchases against Moss's subscription. Maxlyft also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). Moss's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Maxlyft sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Moss sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Moss holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Maxlyft has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Maxlyft ships an update every 2 days, Moss every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
