LiftVault is a clean, no-nonsense workout tracker built for lifters who just want to log their sets and get back to the bar. LOG WORKOUTS FAST Create templates for your push day, pull day, leg day — whatever your split looks like. Apply a template to start logging, or add movements on the fly. A built-in plate calculator helps you load the bar without doing math. TRACK YOUR PRs Every set is tracked against your history. Hit a new weight PR, and you'll see the crown. Beat your rep record at a given weight, and the flame appears. Your personal records are always visible on each movement's detail page. REST TIMER An automatic rest timer starts after every set. It shows as a Live Activity on your lock screen so you can put your phone down and still know when it's time to go. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Stats break down your training by body part — sets, reps, or total volume lifted. See which muscle groups are getting work, and which ones need more attention. 150+ MOVEMENTS INCLUDED Comes preloaded with a library of exercises across 11 muscle groups. Add your own custom movements anytime. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account required. No cloud sync. No ads. Everything is stored locally on your phone. Export your full workout history as a CSV file whenever you want. CUSTOMIZABLE Choose from multiple color themes, toggle dark mode, and make the app feel like yours.
