Setwell is a workout tracker that stays out of your way. Log what you lift, see what you did last time, and know what's coming next. SCAN A HANDWRITTEN WORKOUT Photograph a workout written on paper or a whiteboard, and Setwell turns it into a workout you can start. Exercises are matched to your library, including shorthand like "DB bench" or "RDL", and anything it can't place is flagged for you to confirm. Nothing is saved until you approve it. PLAN AHEAD Schedule workouts on any future date. On the day, it's waiting at the top of Today. The calendar shows at a glance what you've done, what's planned, and what you missed. BUILD YOUR WORKOUTS Combine single exercises and circuits with as many rounds as you like, with targets for sets and reps. Reorder, duplicate, and archive them as your training changes. LOG WITHOUT FRICTION Every set shows what you did last time, so you always know what you're chasing. Mark warm-up sets. Add notes to a session or to a circuit. Cardio is logged the way it's actually measured — distance, time, and calories for runs, rides, and ergs. A REAL EXERCISE LIBRARY Over 300 exercises across dumbbells, barbells, cables, kettlebells, machines, bands, and bodyweight, organized by muscle group, equipment, and machine type. Add your own whenever your gym has something the list doesn't. SEE PROGRESS History charts for every exercise. Personal records for heaviest set, estimated one-rep max, and best single-set volume. Running totals for sessions, volume, and how much you've trained this week. APPLE HEALTH Save finished workouts to Apple Health with the right activity type and duration. Setwell only writes your workouts — it never reads your health data. SYNC AND SHARE Sign in to keep your workouts synced across your devices. Share any workout by link or QR code, and the other person can import it into their own library in a tap. WORKS OFFLINE Everything lives on your device first. Gym wifi doesn't matter — your workouts are always there. Weights are tracked in pounds. Light and dark mode included.
