Drill Drop: exercise reminders that fit your day. A free offline app for iPhone. Pick a daily protocol for sitting, standing, strength, or recovery, set quiet hours, and get short movement reminders when you actually have time. Miss a burst? It catches up automatically. 100% offline. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. All data stays on your device. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a protocol β€” desk days, on your feet, tiny strength, beginners, runners, evenings, and more. 2. Set quiet hours β€” sleep, commute, deep work. We only nudge you when you’re available. 3. Get short reminders β€” daily totals split into small bursts. Miss one and Drill Drop schedules a catch-up later. WHAT YOU GET β€’ Ready-made protocols you can assign by weekday β€’ Quiet hours that stay quiet β€’ Smart exercise reminders across your free time β€’ Automatic catch-up when you miss a burst β€’ Favorites and a movement library β€’ Optional Pro: create your own custom protocol (one-time unlock β€” no subscription) WHO IT’S FOR Desk days, shift work, runners who skip the boring mobility, and anyone who doesn’t need another gym program β€” just movement that fits around the life you already have. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No network required for core use. Offline is the product, not a setting. Drill Drop does not provide medical advice. You’re responsible for choosing movement that’s right for you.

SLAB is a voice-first workout tracker and food logger, built for lifters who hate fumbling with their phone mid-set and calorie counters who don't want the friction. Speak naturally. Say "225 for 5, felt heavy" or "200 grams of chicken breast" and SLAB logs it. No tiny buttons. No number pickers. No friction. HOW IT WORKS - Talk to SLAB like a training partner - It parses your voice into structured data - It tracks your calories, workouts, goals, PBs and previous weights, times, and durations - One tap to talk, then back to lifting BUILT FOR THE GYM Your hands are chalked. You're wearing wrist wraps. You're between sets and your rest timer is running. You don't want to tap through forms and scroll number pickers. SLAB lets you log with your voice and get back to work. TRACKS WHAT MATTERS SLAB remembers your personal bests and what you lifted last time. See your progress without digging through spreadsheets. ZERO FLUFF Dark mode only. No gamification. No confetti. No cartoon mascots. Just your lifts, your stats, your progress. SLAB Pro unlocks unlimited voice logging and full training history.
