SetSense is a lifting app for people who want to think about their training, not just record it. Most fitness apps either treat you like a beginner who needs a robot to tell you what to do, or they treat you like a spreadsheet. SetSense is different. You chat with the SetSense Trainer about your goals, training history, and the gym you have access to, and it builds you a real training block in under two minutes. You review it, edit it, and start lifting. Then every workout, SetSense shows you exactly what you did last time. Same exercise, same set, same week. You decide what to do next. CHAT WITH THE SETSENSE TRAINER Skip the boring questionnaires. Tell the trainer what you want. Strength, hypertrophy, a specific lift, a deadline, and it builds a personalized 4-12 week training block. YOU DECIDE WHAT'S NEXT Other apps tell you to add 5 pounds every week. SetSense shows you what you did last time and trusts you to make the call. Because that's what real lifters do. TALK TO YOUR LIFTING DATA Ask the trainer questions about your own history. "How has my bench progressed?" "Which weeks did I skip the most?" "What's my best 5-rep on squat?" Your full training history is the context. SHARE BLOCKS WITH ONE TAP Built a program your friends should try? Share it as a link. They tap it, the program imports into their app, ready to go. STEPS, NOT CARDIO Daily step tracking from Apple Health. No clunky cardio screens, no fake heart-rate logging — just a passive step goal that pairs with your lifting. PERSONAL RECORDS, ON AUTOPILOT Every set you log gets compared to your history. PR celebrations when you beat them. Pinned 1RM tracking for the lifts you actually care about. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your training data is yours. Account deletion is one tap and permanent. No social feed, no gamified leaderboards, no notifications begging you to come back. SUBSCRIPTION SetSense is $2.99/month, $14.99 every 6 months, or $26.99/year. Two-week free trial on all plans, billed through your Apple ID. Cancel anytime in Settings.
