Plan workouts by chatting with Claude or Meta Muse. Log them in Tally. Tally is a strength-training log for iPhone that your AI assistant can write to. Tell Claude or Meta Muse what you want to train, how much time you have, and what to avoid. Your assistant builds the workout and saves it to Tally. Open the app and it is there: exercises, sets, reps and target weights, ready to start. HOW IT WORKS • Connect Claude or Meta Muse once from Settings. Setup takes about a minute in your browser. A free Claude account works. • Plan in a chat: "Plan three days this week around squat and bench. Go easy on my left shoulder." • Your assistant reads your planned days and recent workouts, then writes new days into your week. • At the gym, tap Start. Every set is filled in and ready to check off. FAST TO LOG • A big keypad and one-tap set check-offs • Edit one set and the sets below it update • The rest timer starts when you finish a set • Change the whole workout by typing or speaking, mid-session • Track weight and reps, time, or distance (rows, sled pushes, carries) • Works offline; your log syncs when you are back online YOUR WEEK, YOUR CALL • See planned, completed and skipped days in the week view • Skip a day you can't make; your assistant sees it the next time it plans • Days you build in Tally stay as you made them unless you ask your assistant to change them • Build days yourself from the exercise library, or add your own exercises YOUR DATA • Sign in with Apple, Google or email; your log syncs to your account • Your assistant sees only your account, and you can disconnect it anytime in Settings • Export your full history as a CSV file Tally is an independent app. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic or Meta.
