The lifting log built for people who actually train. Log a set in three seconds. Type "bench 5x225" and Overload parses it instantly — no scroll wheels, no taps, no fluff. Your last set, target weights, and PR thresholds appear automatically as you type. WHY OVERLOAD • CLI-style logging. The fastest way to log a set on iOS, period. • Auto PR detection on every set using the Epley formula. You'll never miss one. • Rest timer auto-starts after each set with a customizable target. • Streaks that respect rest days. Schedule recovery — your streak survives it. • Strength Map. See where you rank against bodyweight standards (Beginner → Elite+) for every major lift. • Analytics that actually answer questions: training window, muscle balance, 8-week volume trends, this-week vs. last-week deltas. • Custom splits. Build any rotation (PPL, Upper/Lower, Bro Split, anything custom) and pin rest days to specific weekdays — or let it cycle. • Auto-detected muscle activation per session. See exactly what each workout hit. • 28-exercise default library with smart aliases — bench, ohp, squat, dead all just work. Add custom exercises in one tap. • Monthly recap cards designed for sharing. Built into the app, not bolted on. • Apple Health sync — bodyweight in, completed workouts out. Activity rings stay accurate. PRO Unlimited custom exercises, advanced analytics, the Strength Map, and the muscle activation breakdown. One-time purchase or monthly — your choice. PRIVACY Your data is yours. We don't sell it, share it, or use it to train models. Auth via Apple Sign-In or email. Permanent account deletion is one tap from settings. Built by a lifter who got tired of tools that got in the way. Feedback always welcome — support@getoverload.app
