Liftora is a workout tracker built for people who show up. No subscriptions. No bloat. Just a fast, beautiful way to log your lifts, track your progress, and hit new PRs — every session. BUILT FOR THE GYM FLOOR Start a workout from your templates in one tap. Log sets as you go — weight, reps, done. Completed sets turn teal so you always know where you are. Add sets, swap exercises, or adjust on the fly without losing your place. LIVE ACTIVITY ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Liftora shows your workout name, elapsed timer, and sets progress directly on your iPhone lock screen and Dynamic Island — without you ever needing to unlock your phone. Like a live sports score, but for your training session. PROGRESS THAT MEANS SOMETHING Every exercise has its own history: volume over time, max weight, total reps — charted session by session. See the line go up. Know it's working. AUTO-TRACKED PERSONAL RECORDS Hit a new max? Liftora catches it the moment you complete the set and marks it with a PR badge. No manual logging. No guessing. Your best lifts, always up to date. TEMPLATES THAT ADAPT Build workout templates for your Push, Pull, Legs — or whatever split works for you. Colour-coded by category. Replace an exercise mid-session and Liftora will ask if you want to update the template for next time. Your program evolves as you do. HOME SCREEN WIDGET A live widget shows your active workout name and elapsed time directly on your home screen. Glance and go. CLEAN BY DESIGN Dark navy interface. Sharp teal accent. Category colour bars so you can tell Push from Pull at a glance. Liftora looks like it belongs on your phone — not like a spreadsheet. ONE-TIME PURCHASE TO REMOVE ADS Liftora is free to download.
