If you train with kettlebells, Bellmade is for you! Every morning, you'll be greeted with a fresh and free kettlebell workout of the day. No credit card or trial required. Bellmade was built by Eric Spector (@ericdoeskettlebell), and the workouts are a reflection of his own hybrid training style. It's a mix of hypertrophy, full-body strength, calisthenics, and intense conditioning. Most workouts average about 30-45 minutes, depending on your speed. Bellmade does NOT have follow-along workouts. The UI of this app is intentionally made for you to do them at your own pace, without requiring you to stare at your phone. Workouts will occasionally feature rest timers or session timers (such as EMOMs, AMRAPs, etc.), which help guide sessions along. The timers run with subtle audio tones that gently play alongside your music or podcasts without interruption. If you're confused about any movements within a workout, you can simply tap the exercise name and a form reference video plays without pulling you out of the workout. Here’s a breakdown of some of Bellmade’s features: WORKOUT OF THE DAY A new kettlebell workout every day. Open the app and start. QUICKIE Need a custom workout right now, without building one first? Quickie lets you add exercises on the fly, log them as you go, and save the session for your records. STRUCTURED PROGRAMS Follow multi-week strength programs that feature kettlebells, sandbags, steel maces, and calisthenics. Enroll, pause, resume, or restart on your own schedule. A Bellmade membership also lets you write up to three programs of your own. WORKOUT BUILDER Create custom workouts with sets, circuits, EMOMs, AMRAPs, intervals, ladders, complexes, chippers, and more. Save them to your library. WORKOUT QUEUE A Bellmade membership lets you add up to 10 workouts to an ordered queue. Your next workout is one tap from the homepage. EXERCISE LIBRARY Browse 140+ exercises filtered by equipment, movement pattern, and muscle group. Each one has a reference video and notes. ACTIVITY TRACKING A Bellmade membership keeps a monthly calendar of the days you trained, volume charts, muscle-group splits, and personal records. PROGRESS PHOTOS Capture progress photos and compare them side by side or stacked. WORKOUT CUSTOMIZATION Swap any exercise and add drop sets. Create a custom exercise mid-workout when the library doesn’t have what you need. COMMENTS Leave notes and comments on workouts. Share a tip, ask a question, or check in with other users. MONTHLY COMPETITION Compete against other users to earn a spot on the leaderboard! TRAINING PARTNER A Bellmade membership lets you gift another one to a training partner of your choice. OFFLINE AND RESUME Closed the app mid-workout? No problem! You can resume it without interruption. Your saved and custom workouts also work without a signal.

The calorie tracker you'll actually keep using. Say what you ate, and Ore does the counting. If you've quit a calorie app before, you know why: hunting a database for the right "grilled chicken," weighing every bite, closing ads between entries. Ore skips all of it. Tell it "two eggs, sourdough toast and a flat white" and it's logged in seconds, with calories, protein, carbs, fat and fiber. "I've tried other apps in the past for tracking calories and I always stopped after a day or two. This app makes logging everything that I eat so easy that I actually use it." (App Store review) LOG IT THE WAY YOU REMEMBER IT • Say it: tell Ore what you ate, or ask Siri to log a meal. • Snap it: photograph your plate and Ore lists every item and its portion. • Scan it: point at a barcode for the exact product and its label. • Type it: write it like a quick note. No scale needed. "A palm-sized piece of salmon" or "a small handful of almonds" is enough; Ore works out the grams. EATING OUT, SORTED Name the dish and the restaurant, and Ore finds the restaurant's own numbers and breaks the meal into its parts. Somewhere without nutrition info? Ore estimates each part, and one tap adds the butter and oil restaurant kitchens use. IT LEARNS YOUR ROUTINE Your usual breakfast is one tap, because Ore remembers what you eat and when. A reminder comes at your usual meal time, and your streak forgives one missed day a week, because life happens. A PLAN BUILT AROUND YOU Ore sets your calorie, protein, carb, fat and fiber targets from your body and your goal, and shows you the math. Connect Apple Health and the days you move more give you more room. Change any number, any time. ONE QUESTION, ONLY WHEN IT MATTERS If a detail changes the numbers ("Was the curry creamy or tomato-based?"), Ore asks once. Otherwise it stays out of your way, and every item is yours to check and fix. Logging is free, with no ads. ORE PRO: A COACH THAT KNOWS WHAT YOU ATE • Ask Ore anything about your meals, your day or your goal, and get answers built from your own logs, not generic advice. • Plan your next meal around what's left in your day. • Short notes from Ore when something is worth knowing. Logging stays free. Ore Pro is an optional subscription: $12.99 a month or $103.99 a year in the U.S. (prices vary by country). Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it anytime in iPhone Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Up to 20 Ask questions a day. Invite 3 friends who join Ore and get 30 days of Ore Pro free. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sign in with Apple, no separate password. Photos stay with the meal they belong to and are deleted with it. Raw Apple Health activity stays on your device. Delete your account and data anytime from inside the app. Ore is a smart-estimate tool to help you stay aware of what you eat. It is not a medical device and offers general nutrition guidance, not medical advice.
