Stark is your gym logbook: plan your routines, log every set in a second and see your lifts climb week after week. Logging, your history, progress charts and every program are free, with no limits. Stark speaks English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Korean. ONE SET, ONE GESTURE Open your workout and the set you're on fills the screen: the weight, the reps and the bar drawn with its plates. Drag to adjust the weight, set the reps and swipe up to log it. The next set opens on the numbers you just lifted. Kilograms or pounds: Stark asks the first time you load a bar, and you can switch in Profile. EVERY PR, THE MOMENT YOU HIT IT When a set beats your best estimated 1RM, Stark stamps it as a personal record on the spot. When you finish, each session becomes a poster with your volume, your sets and your records, ready to share with a QR code that leads to Stark. YOUR REST, ALWAYS IN VIEW Logging a set starts your rest. Follow it in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen, add 15 seconds or log the next set without opening the app. Stark remembers how long you rest on each exercise. ROUTINES AND PROGRAMS Build routines by training day in the Routines tab, start from any program in the library, or let the onboarding questions build one for you. Share routines as .stark files. BRING YOUR HISTORY Coming from another app or a notebook? On first launch Stark asks where you logged before and imports the CSV file other workout apps export. Before importing you see how many workouts and sets come in and which Stark exercise each one maps to. MORE THAN 1,000 EXERCISES Names in all seven languages, plus videos and written instructions (in English, Spanish, Japanese and Korean). Favorites and muscle-group filters. Add your own exercises, with a photo, to match your equipment. PEOPLE: TRAIN WITH OTHERS People is Stark's optional community; sign in with Apple to join. Follow friends, share only the workouts you choose (you see a preview first), and cheer and comment on theirs. Your account can be public or private. Join or create clubs, open or invite-only, with a weekly goal, challenges and a leaderboard. Report, block and mute are always one tap away, and you can delete your account from the app. WIDGETS AND CONTROL CENTER The "Your week" widget shows this week's workouts against your goal and your streak; "Your workout" shows your next training day with a button to start it. On iOS 18 or later, a Control Center control logs your next set. YOUR DATA, YOUR CALL Your workouts are stored on your iPhone and logging needs no account. Nothing reaches People unless you publish it. No ads and no tracking. FREE, WITH OPTIONAL STARK PRO Everything you need to train is free: unlimited logging, your full history, records and posters, your routines, every program in the library, suggested weights, progress charts, the muscle map and the coach. Stark Pro is an optional membership for those who want to support Stark: โ€ข The Pro Club: a chat with the developer to talk about Stark and ask for features. โ€ข Your name in gold, with the barbell, in People and in every club. โ€ข Technique analysis: review your sets on video, with estimated reps and effort. Stark Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. The yearly plan can include a free trial for eligible new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
