The all-in-one app for lifters. Plan your blocks. Run your sessions. Hit your macros. Drink enough. Log the cardio. Watch it all add up. NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO PAYWALL. NO FEATURE GATES. Every feature is unlocked from day one — Apple Watch, widgets, iCloud Backup, the full food library, all of it. Nothing is held back for a paid tier, and there are no ads. If LiftCortex earns a place in your training, you can spot the dev with a one-time purchase that rings a brass bell on every PR. That's it. SEE WHERE YOU'RE HEADED Progression bars for every lift, weekly and monthly recaps, your biggest movers, lifetime milestones, and body-weight trends that smooth out the daily noise. PRs, week-after-week consistency and comebacks are each noticed and celebrated at a scale that fits. WORKOUTS THAT KEEP UP WITH YOU Browse a full exercise library by muscle and build a split with live muscle-coverage as you go. Run live sessions with timing, pause/resume, and quick set check-offs. Log warm-ups, drop sets, rest-pause, failure, and supersets inline. Finish to a review that calls out PRs, rep gains, and pace. The plate calculator handles barbells in pounds or kilos — never math your warm-up sets again. MACROS, DIALED IN Point your camera at a nutrition label and LiftCortex reads the calories and macros for you — entirely on your device, nothing uploaded. Or scan a barcode: with your OK, only the number goes to Open Food Facts. Or pull from a built-in library of 2,000+ lifter-focused foods with serving sizes auto-filled. Save a multi-ingredient meal as one entry. Set hard goals or flexible ranges. WATER AND CARDIO, IN THE SAME LOG Save the vessels you drink from — one tap logs the name and the amount, and your daily goal follows your bodyweight and what you trained. Run, ride, row or walk with a stopwatch that keeps ticking on the Lock Screen. Both land in the same history and weekly totals as your lifting. REMINDERS AT YOUR OWN TIMES Opt-in nudges around when you actually eat and train — learned from your own log, weekly program or Push/Pull/Legs rotation included, or set by you. They stay quiet once you've logged, and they're scheduled on your phone. AN EVIDENCE GUIDE, NOT A RECOMMENDATION A read-only reference to the published research on 69 supplements lifters ask about. Each entry carries an evidence tier that grades how strong the research is — not how good the supplement is — alongside its actual citations: journal, authors, year. Plenty land on "Emerging / Mixed"; some on "Ineffective / Caution". LiftCortex and its creators don't suggest or endorse taking any supplement. No brands, no shopping links, no affiliates. For educational purposes; not medical advice — consult a doctor or nutritionist before taking anything. COUNTDOWNS FOR MEET DAY, RACE DAY, GAME DAY Countdowns for competition day, cut deadlines, and training milestones — with icons, colors, and optional photos, ticking down on your Home Screen. APPLE WATCH + HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Log sets, check off exercises, and glance at remaining macros — without unlocking your phone. Widgets for macro rings, water, session start and countdowns. BACKUP & RESTORE YOU CAN TRUST Automatic iCloud Backup, restored on a new device in seconds. Merge or replace when importing. WORLDWIDE-READY 12 languages, the 2,000+ foods included: type "chicken," "pollo" or "鸡胸肉" and land on the same item, all on-device. Exercise names and form cues use each language's own gym vocabulary — the words lifters actually say. Native right-to-left layouts for Arabic and Urdu. MAKE IT YOURS Reorder features. Hide what you don't use. Pounds or kilos. Accent colors, high-contrast modes, app icon variants. Pick a finish and the app is made of something: Flat, Matte, Forged, Anodized, Carbon or Heavy Forged. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Workouts, macros, water, cardio, countdowns — all stored locally unless you opt into iCloud Backup. No account required. No tracking. No telemetry. Your training stays yours.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: LiftCortex at every 5 days against Delta's every 3 weeks. LiftCortex also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
