Two Plates is a strength log for the self-coached lifter. It runs your program, does the math between sets, and gets out of the way. You pay once and it is yours. LOG SETS FAST Your next set is already loaded. One tap confirms it, and effort chips like @8 sit right on the keypad. RPE or RIR, your call. Rest timers run themselves. Logging is built to keep up with you mid set, not the other way around. YOUR PROGRAM RUNS ITSELF 5/3/1, GZCLP, nSuns and co. ship built in with their published progression rules. Build your own program, or paste one from any AI chat, even the exercises your physical therapist handed you, and it lands as a real program with working progression. Every weight change comes with its reason in plain language, and the app shows its work. PLATE MATH, PER SIDE Tell it the bars and plates you actually own and every set comes with what to load, per side even on the Apple Watch. Plate loaded machines too. APPLE WATCH The Apple Watch app runs the whole session from your wrist. Confirm sets, see what's next, finish your workout without touching your phone. THE LOG IS YOURS Import your history from Strong or Hevy CSV. Export everything, any time. Sync is iCloud, there is no account to create, and your training data never touches our servers. PAY ONCE Everything you need to log is free, forever. One purchase unlocks the parts that plan and analyze for you: programs that progress themselves, check-ins that update your plan, and the deeper look at your training. No subscription. Set for life.
