About

GymTracker

Features
Read full description

GymTracker is the training journal for your gym. Other apps know exercises. GymTracker knows your gym: machine number 12, seat on 4, grip on 3, last time 67.5 kg. Type the number, weight and reps are already filled in, one tap saves the set. WHY GYMTRACKER • Machines with number, brand, photo and your settings. Never wonder again how the seat was set. • Numbers, not lists. During your workout, type the machine number on the keypad and you're there. • Two fields, one tap. Weight and reps are prefilled with "same as last time". Plus and minus follow the machine's weight steps, and you can type any number too. • Photos with markers. Mark seat height, grip or pad right on the photo. • Tutorials at the machine. A link from YouTube, TikTok or Instagram or your own video, one tap away while you log. • Filter by split and muscle group. Anything outside the filter is still one search away. • Log it later. Forgot a set? Add it with date and time. WIDGETS AND LOCK SCREEN • Training week with weekly goal and streak, weekly volume for the last 8 weeks, progress on one exercise, body weight. • Start a workout, find a machine or log your weight right from the Home Screen, the Lock Screen, Control Center or the Action button. • Your current workout on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: time, sets, volume and the rest timer with +30 s. • Every widget in its own color, light or dark. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE • A celebration when you hit a record, a nudge to go heavier after two full sessions. • Per machine: best, trend and a chart of your recent sessions. • Muscle group balance, weekly volume, training calendar, streak and weekly goal. • History per exercise with top weight, estimated 1RM and set volume. • "How was it?" after your workout: effort, mood and energy, one tap each. Optional. • Monthly report with records and biggest gains, ready to share. SIRI AND SHORTCUTS Start a workout, repeat a set or log your weight by voice. Machines show up in Spotlight. APPLE WATCH Start your workout on your wrist, log sets and adjust "same as last time" with the Digital Crown. Live heart rate and calories, rest timer with haptics, complications for your watch face, and the workout lands in Apple Health. Your iPhone stays in your pocket. APPLE HEALTH Workouts saved as strength training with average heart rate, max heart rate and active calories. Body weight from your smart scale, resting heart rate as a card. BODY Weight with a 7-day trend, measurements and progress photos with side-by-side comparison, protected with Face ID if you like. YOUR LOOK Light, dark or automatic, with your own accent color. Every card on Today can be moved or hidden. "Simple" view to get started, "Everything" for advanced users. ROUTINES, REMINDERS, IMPORT Push / Pull / Legs or your own routines, and the app knows which machine comes next. Reminders for training days, weekly goal and streak, each at its own time. Import Hevy or Strong CSV files, export as CSV or JSON, restore a backup anytime. PRIVACY No account, no ads, no tracking, no server. Your data stays on your iPhone and, if you want, in your private iCloud. GYMTRACKER PRO Free for tracking, Pro for everything that tells you where you're heading: iCloud sync, a coach with progression suggestions and plateau alerts, weekly review, monthly report, full history, body progress, unlimited routines, multiple gyms and all app icons.
