Plan workouts by chatting with Claude or Meta Muse. Log them in Tally. Tally is a strength-training log for iPhone that your AI assistant can write to. Tell Claude or Meta Muse what you want to train, how much time you have, and what to avoid. Your assistant builds the workout and saves it to Tally. Open the app and it is there: exercises, sets, reps and target weights, ready to start. HOW IT WORKS • Connect Claude or Meta Muse once from Settings. Setup takes about a minute in your browser. A free Claude account works. • Plan in a chat: "Plan three days this week around squat and bench. Go easy on my left shoulder." • Your assistant reads your planned days and recent workouts, then writes new days into your week. • At the gym, tap Start.
