Zeus - Intelligent Weightlifting Tracker Zeus is a modern weightlifting tracking app that automates your workout planning so you can focus on training. Perfect for strength athletes who want a smarter way to track progress and hit new personal records. Smart Workout Planning: Zeus learns from your training history and automatically plans your next workout. The app recommends which exercises to do based on your typical schedule, selects appropriate weights, and progresses you intelligently between sessions. No more guessing what weight to use or which exercises to train—Zeus handles it for you. Automatic Weight Progression: the app uses exercise-specific progression strategies optimized for over 60 exercises across all major muscle groups. Heavy compounds like deadlifts and squats progress differently than isolation exercises, ensuring safe and effective strength gains. Zeus detects when you hit your target reps and suggests appropriate weight increases. During workouts, Zeus guides you through each set with: * Real-time session tracking with "Up Next" guidance * Automatic warmup calculation based on your working weight * Built-in rest timer that starts after each set * Comparison with your last session performance * Simple rep input with scrollable picker * Session restoration if you need to close the app Comprehensive Exercise Library: choose from 60+ exercises covering chest (bench press, incline, flyes, push-ups), back (deadlifts, rows, pull-ups), shoulders (presses, raises, handstands), legs (squats, lunges, calf work), arms (bicep and tricep exercises), core (planks, crunches, leg raises). Each exercise can be customized with your preferred working weight, sets, target reps, and progression strategy. Personal Best Tracking: Zeus automatically detects new personal records based on weight and reps completed. After each workout, review your performance with detailed set-by-set breakdowns and see which lifts improved. Visual Activity History: track your training consistency with an activity grid showing up to 12 months of workout history. View detailed session logs with duration, exercises, sets, reps, and weights used. Modern Design: built exclusively for iOS 26+ and macOS 26+ with cutting-edge SwiftUI features. The app features a sleek dark interface with liquid glass effects, smooth animations, and haptic feedback for an immersive training experience. Key Features: * Automatic workout planning based on your training patterns * Exercise-specific weight progression algorithms * Smart warmup generation * Rest timer with automatic start * Personal best detection * Activity visualization with intensity-based heatmap * Support for both rep-based and time-based exercises * Multiple weight unit support and conversion (kg/lb) * Session restoration for uninterrupted training * 60+ exercises with detailed configuration options Zeus combines sophisticated workout intelligence with a polished, minimal interface to create the ultimate strength training companion. Stop managing spreadsheets and start lifting smarter.
