GoHarder is a workout tracker for people who lift and want the numbers to add up. Open the app and today's session is already there. Every exercise shows what you did last time, so you always know the number to beat. Logging a set takes about two seconds. TRAINING COMMUNITY With a connected trainer, share training updates and photos in your community, react to posts and join the conversation in comments. Message your trainer directly from the app. YOUR AI TRAINING ASSISTANT With GoHarder Pro, ask the AI Coach about your progress, adapt a workout to the time you have, or import a routine from a photo or screenshot. Review suggested changes before applying them. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL Gym basements kill reception. GoHarder writes everything to your phone first and syncs once you are back online, so nothing stalls between sets. TRAIN WITH YOUR COACH If you have a trainer, they build your program on the web and it lands on your phone: the week, the running order, what comes next. When they change something you had already edited, the app tells you what changed instead of quietly overwriting your work. WHAT YOU TRACK Sets, reps, weight and RIR. Rest timer between sets. Body weight and measurements. Progress photos. Steps and calories from Apple Health once you connect it. EXERCISE LIBRARY 600 exercises with illustrations of the movement, filtered by muscle group and equipment. Missing something? Add it yourself. APPLE WATCH Start today's session from your wrist, log every set, and run the rest timer without picking up your phone. You can leave the phone in your bag: sets queue on the watch and sync once the two are back in range. FREE AND PRO Free covers workout logging, up to 4 routines, 7 custom exercises and 3 months of chart history. Pro removes those caps and adds a training program built around your goals that adapts as your sessions go, body measurements, progress photos, and deeper stats like predicted 1RM and volume breakdowns. Your training data is stored on your device and synced to your private account. Nobody else sees your log unless you connect a coach or post it yourself. Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian. --- Privacy Policy: https://goharderapp.com/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
