Whether you're building muscle in the gym, mastering bodyweight skills, or simply striving to become stronger, Aethel helps you understand your training, recovery, and performance over time. NEW IN VERSION 2.0 - Completely Redesigned Every screen has been redrawn with soft depth, warm shadows, and careful typography. Same app, entirely different feel. - Apple Watch App Start a workout on your iPhone and your Watch starts by itself. It records your heart rate throughout the session and saves it alongside the workout in Apple Health. On your wrist you get heart rate, elapsed time, and your rest timer. - Readiness Score A single number combining muscle fatigue, recovery status, and heart rate variability, so you can tell at a glance whether today is a day to push or to hold back. - Workout Sharing Every workout has a short code. Send it to a training partner and they import it in one tap. - Session Recovery If the app closes mid-workout, you pick up exactly where you left off. Sets, weights, and timers all stay in place. FEATURES - Workout Tracking Log and manage your workouts with a fast and intuitive training experience. - Gym & Calisthenics Support Create and track both weightlifting and bodyweight-based training programs tailored to your goals. - Muscle Recovery Insights Visualize muscle fatigue and recovery status on a real-time anatomical map. Every set you log feeds a per-muscle fatigue model grounded in published research, and fatigue decays according to each muscle group's actual recovery window. - Calisthenics Skill Tree Work toward the muscle up, front lever, planche, and handstand with tracked progressions and clear prerequisites. - 157 Hand-Illustrated Exercises Every exercise has its own original illustration, with the muscles involved highlighted by primary and secondary role. - Progress Monitoring Track strength gains, training volume, personal records, and long-term improvements. - Detailed Analytics Understand your performance through clear statistics and actionable insights. - Apple Health Integration Seamlessly connect with Apple Health to keep your fitness data synchronized, including workouts, heart rate, and calories. - Personalized Training Experience Build custom routines, monitor consistency, and stay focused on your objectives.
