Plates is a workout tracker built for people who lift. Build your training program, run your session, and log every set in seconds — fully offline, synced across your devices the moment you're back online. No bloat. No social feed. No subscription wall in your way. Just a fast, focused log that keeps up with you between sets. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Build programs your way — push/pull/legs, upper/lower, full body, or your own split • Log sets in two taps — weight and reps, with smart defaults pulled from last time • Never lose a set — everything saves locally first, so the app never waits on a signal • Track every PR — personal records surface automatically as you beat them • Review your history — see how each lift has trended over weeks and months • Train in your units — kg or lb, your choice, stored accurately either way • Sync across devices — start on your phone, pick up anywhere BUILT TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY Plates is offline-first by design. Your phone is the source of truth, so logging is instant whether you're in a basement gym with no bars or on a flight. When a connection comes back, your sessions sync quietly in the background. PRIVACY Plates uses Sign in with Apple — no email list, no password to remember. We don't sell your data. Full privacy policy linked below. Free to download.
