The difference is that sesh remembers your history and shows you whether you're getting stronger. No more scrolling back through old notes to remember what you lifted last week. Most workout trackers bury you in features, accounts, and subscriptions. sesh does one thing well. It's the simple, honest workout log. WHY SESH IS DIFFERENT • No account.

They just want a fast, private place to log their workouts and watch the numbers go up. Turn your Notes app workout log into something that actually tracks your progress. Download sesh.
