Specular is a strength training tracker for the gym and for home. Follow a program or build your own workouts, log every set in seconds, and know when to add weight. Your sessions go to Apple Health, sync with iCloud, and work with Siri. LOG YOUR WORKOUTS • Build workouts from more than 1,700 exercises, each with instructions and the muscles it works, or start from a template. • Your last weights and reps are already filled in, so every set starts where the previous session ended. • Rest timers and supersets keep the session moving. • See the personal records each session sets, and rate its effort when you finish. FOLLOW A PROGRAM • Multi-week programs for the gym, home, or both, recommended from your goals, experience, and where you train. • Every session comes planned with its exercises, sets, and targets, so you don't have to plan each workout yourself. • Edit a session or swap an exercise for one that fits your equipment. PROGRESS YOUR WEIGHTS • Specular suggests when to increase or reduce the weight for each exercise, based on how your recent sessions went, in programs and in your own workouts. • Suggestions match your equipment's increments, so each one is a load you can set up. • Follow each exercise's top set, estimated 1RM, and volume over time. UNDERSTAND YOUR TRAINING • See on a muscle map what each workout, program, and exercise works, and which muscles you've trained recently. • Training load compares your recent training with your usual, so you can tell a heavy week from a light one. • Set a weekly goal and follow your consistency and volume week by week. • Taking time off? Start a break, and Home, Programs, and Insights pause until you're back. APPLE HEALTH • Every session is saved to Apple Health with its heart rate and active energy. • Bring your past workouts in from Apple Health so your history starts complete. SIRI • Ask Siri about your last session, an exercise, your weekly goal, training load, or volume. • During a session, log a set, hear what's next and how much rest is left, or pause and finish, without unlocking your iPhone. • With Siri AI, ask about your training in your own words. • Find any workout, exercise, or program from Spotlight. SHARE • Turn a session into an image for your stories, with its metrics, exercises, and route. YOUR DATA • No account to create. Your workouts sync across your devices with iCloud. • Back up everything to one file and restore it on any device. • Import your workout history from other apps. SPECULAR PRO • The full program catalog, with new programs as they're added • Suggested weights applied in one tap • Workout suggestions based on your history • Full workout details and history • Session metrics: duration, effort, energy, volume, and heart rate • Exercise progress over any period • Recovery insights, and sets by muscle group and weekday • Unlimited workout templates • Post-workout effort logging, synced to Apple Health Siri AI availability varies by device, language, and region.
