1000 Sets makes fitness simple. Log sets in seconds, see progress build, and stay motivated at the gym or at home. No reps. No weights. No rigid programs. Just clear progress every time you train. --- Starting a fitness routine is hard. You put in the effort, but results take weeks or months to appear. Motivation fades long before habits form. Most workout apps make it worse — with complex logging, strict routines, and endless exercise lists. 1000 Sets is different. Every set you log moves you measurably forward. Instead of feeling like workouts are isolated, they connect into one clear journey. Progress is no longer invisible — you can see it growing with every set. Key Features: * Quick logging: track sets instantly without reps or weights * 24 curated exercises: 12 gym + 12 home covering all major muscles * Smart recommendations: keep balance without rigid schedules * Visual progress: watch your journey build one set at a time * Offline ready: fast, tactile, always available Why 1,000 sets? Because it represents about 3–6 months of consistent training — the crucial window where habits stick and results start to show. By counting down from 1,000, every workout feels meaningful. The more you do, the less is left. Perfect for: * Beginners starting their first routine * Anyone struggling with consistency * People who want progress without rigid programs * Home workout fans who need structure without complexity The psychology that works: * Every set matters, even two on a busy day * Visible journey makes progress real * Motivation grows as the number left to go gets smaller * Consistency beats intensity — no failed workouts, only progress Start today. Your first set is the first step closer to 1,000. 1000 Sets — Every set counts.

Your Calorie Tracker Has No Clue What You Burned. MinervaOS Measures It. Most trackers count what you eat and guess the rest. MinervaOS adds up both sides of the day: what you ate, and what your body burned, from resting metabolism and digestion to steps and workouts. Then it learns you from your weigh-ins and corrects the number over time. WHAT YOU EAT Log with a photo, a barcode, the food database, a saved meal, or a sentence to Quick Log. See calories, protein, carbs, fat and micronutrients, with the day's food log underneath. WHAT YOU BURN Your burn, itemized. Basal, workouts, movement and digestion each get their own number, and a tap shows how it is worked out. Log lifts with sets, reps and weight, cardio by time, or the exact calories your machine shows. Add average watts to your rides. WEARABLES AND APPLE HEALTH Connect Apple Health and supported wearables. MinervaOS recalculates workout burn from the raw data instead of taking the device's number as given. PERSONALIZED BURN Weigh in and MinervaOS compares what the math predicted with what the scale showed, then adjusts your burn on a seven-day cycle. TRENDS Daily energy balance, calories eaten, weight and steps over a week, a month or longer. SOCIAL, IF YOU WANT IT Share a meal or a workout with friends, follow people and keep groups. Sharing is optional. MinervaOS requires a subscription to access all features: $9.99 per month or $69.99 per year, each with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings. Prices shown are in U.S. dollars and may vary by region. Calorie burn and food figures are estimates, not medical advice.
