About

Setz

Features
Read full description

Remember what you lifted last time, log the set in front of you, and keep your workout moving. Setz is a focused workout tracker and gym log for weight lifting and strength training. Previous weight and reps stay beside every set, so you can see what you did, adjust what you are doing, and know when you have moved forward without opening a spreadsheet or searching through workout history. No account. No ads. Your detailed workout data stays on your iPhone. SEE LAST TIME WHILE YOU LIFT Open a workout and your previous sets are already there. Compare the current weight and reps with your last session, confirm an unchanged prefilled set in one tap, or make a quick adjustment before logging it. Setz shows whether the set is up, even, or under while the workout is still happening. MAKE PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD CLEAR A useful lifting tracker should do more than store numbers. Setz connects each exercise log to your training history, personal records, estimated one-rep max, volume, and recent trend. See a clear next target based on the work you have already completed, then decide whether to add weight, add reps, repeat the set, or back off. LOG SETS WITHOUT BREAKING YOUR FLOW • Record weight, reps, warm-up sets, working sets, and drop sets. • Use large controls designed for the short rest between sets. • Start an automatic rest timer after a completed set. • Adjust, skip, or extend rest without leaving the workout. • Add notes for the current session, such as equipment or setup details. • Use kilograms or pounds. PLAN A ROUTINE OR TRAIN FREESTYLE Choose a guided weekly workout plan, save the routines you already follow, or begin a freestyle gym session and add exercises as you go. Build repeatable workouts around your own schedule instead of being forced into an AI coach or social challenge. Setz includes hundreds of strength, weight lifting, bodyweight, cardio, and mobility exercises. Search by exercise name, muscle group, or equipment, mark favourites, and swap movements. TURN YOUR WORKOUT JOURNAL INTO USEFUL HISTORY Every completed workout becomes part of a clear training log. Revisit exercises, sets, weights, reps, duration, total volume, and personal records. Open an exercise to review recent sessions, your heaviest weight, estimated 1RM, and progression over time. The weekly muscle map adds context beyond a single lift. See which muscle groups have been trained, which are on target, and which may need more attention. It is a simple view of your logged training—not a medical recovery score. BUILT FOR INDEPENDENT LIFTERS Setz is for people who already want to train and need a calm strength tracker that remembers the details. There is no social feed competing for attention, no account required before the first workout, and no advertising inside the gym logger. Core workout logging works locally, so a weak gym connection does not interrupt the set. Detailed workout entries remain on your device. Limited, allowlisted product analytics and unlinked crash diagnostics may be used to improve the app, but Setz does not sell your personal data. WHY LIFTERS USE SETZ • Previous weights and reps beside the current set • Fast set and rep logging with smart prefilled values • Progressive overload comparisons and next targets • Workout routines, saved presets, and freestyle training • Automatic rest timer with simple controls • Complete workout and exercise history • Strength progress, volume trends, records, and estimated 1RM • Weekly muscle coverage map • Hundreds of exercises with equipment and muscle filters • Training reminders, kilograms, and pounds • No account, no ads, and no social feed Setz is a fitness and workout logging tool, not medical advice. Consult a qualified professional before beginning or changing an exercise program.
