IronRep

IronRep is a clean, focused workout tracker for people who actually lift. No ads. No social feeds. No AI coaches. No subscriptions. Just your workouts, your PRs, and a simple way to get stronger — fast. Built for strength training, powerlifting, bodybuilding, calisthenics, and classic gym splits like Push Pull Legs (PPL), Upper/Lower, Bro Split, or 5x5. TRACK EVERY SET Log weight, reps, RIR, and set type for every exercise — including supersets and drop sets. IronRep shows your last performance so you know exactly what to beat. Guided mode walks you through each set with a built-in rest timer. Or switch to list mode for a quick overview during heavy sessions. BUILD YOUR PLAN Create custom training plans from 50+ exercises across every muscle group. Start with 8 ready-made templates (Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, Full Body, Bro Split, Calisthenics & more) — or build your own from scratch. Drag to reorder, add notes, assign target sets, and start your workout with one tap. Share plans with friends via a simple link. SEE YOUR STRENGTH GROW Watch your progress with clear charts per exercise. Track personal records (PRs), total volume, workout streaks, body weight, and muscle group balance. Spot strength imbalances before they turn into injuries. WIDGETS FOR YOUR HOME SCREEN Six widgets bring your training to the home screen: streak, plans with quick start (one tap starts the workout), dashboard, weekly progress, personal records and muscle balance. They follow your theme and language automatically. REST TIMER THAT STAYS WITH YOU The rest timer runs as a Live Activity on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island — no need to keep the app open. Custom rest duration per exercise, sound and vibration alerts, or minimize the timer to keep training while you rest. APPLE HEALTH Body weight syncs automatically from Apple Health. Completed workouts are written back so your fitness data stays in one place. NEVER MISS A WORKOUT The activity calendar shows your gym history at a glance. Weekly summaries keep you accountable. Every workout is saved with full details — weights, reps, sets, duration, notes. YOUR DATA, YOUR CHOICE Everything is stored locally on your device. Optional backup to iCloud or Google Drive when you want — or never. No account required. No tracking. No ads — for everyone, forever.
