Jakd: Level Up Your Fitness Your notes app is not a workout tracker. We get it — you've been logging sets in a spreadsheet, a notes app, or that crumpled paper in your gym bag. It worked. Sort of. But did it ever give you XP for hitting a PR? Did it rank you up for staying consistent? Did it make leg day feel like a boss fight? Jakd did. Jakd does. Jakd will. EVERY REP HAS A SCORE Log your sets — weight, reps, bodyweight, duration, distance, and more — and earn Gains (that's XP, but cooler). Hit a personal record? Bonus Gains. Stay consistent for a week? Your multiplier goes up because you're an athlete now. RANK UP OR STAY RAW Climb the ranks from Raw to Jakd. Your Daily Gains Ring tracks your progress in real-time. Think of it as your gym rep score that actually means something. ROUTINE PROGRESSION & DECAY Build custom templates and watch your routines rank up the more you use them. But be warned: skip too many sessions and your routines will decay. Your routine is judging you (lovingly). GHOST MODE (PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD) No guesswork. Your last session's numbers show up as ghost values so you always know exactly what to beat. SOCIAL FEED & LEADERBOARDS Follow your squad, share your workouts, and fight for the top of the weekly leaderboard. Nothing motivates like seeing your friend out-lift you on a Tuesday. AI SPOTTER — YOUR POCKET COACH Need a program? Stuck on an exercise? Ask the AI Spotter. Powered by advanced models, it’s your coach, programmer, and motivator rolled into one. APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION Jakd seamlessly syncs with Apple Health. Import your steps, active energy, and historical workouts to get a complete picture of your fitness journey and earn XP for all your activity. FREE TO START Log unlimited workouts and save up to 3 templates for free. Eligible Free users aged 18 or older may see banner ads while browsing Home and workout templates.

Bram is a simple workout and strength tracker built to help you get stronger without tracking harder. Write your workouts like you would in a notes app. Bram turns natural gym notes into structured sets, reps, weight, PRs, volume, training history, and weekly training insights — so you can see what is actually improving and know what to beat next. BUILT FOR LIFTERS WHO KNOW HOW THEY TRAIN Bram is built for lifters who already have a routine, program, or training style — and just want a better way to remember what they did, what improved, and what to beat next time. It works especially well if you currently track workouts in a notes app, notebook, spreadsheet, or gym app that feels heavier than it needs to be. WHY BRAM No spreadsheet. No dropdown maze. No social feed. No complicated routine setup before you can train. Just a calmer way to get stronger and track progress. WHAT BRAM TRACKS • Natural workout notes • Sets, reps, weight, and PRs • Weekly workout progress • Training history by day • Volume across muscle groups • Streaks and weekly targets • Apple Health context • Strength progress over time • Training insights without managing a giant fitness app NOTES-STYLE LOGGING. REAL WORKOUT TRACKING. Notes are fast, but they do not track PRs, volume, progress, or training history. Traditional workout apps can track more, but often make logging feel slower than training. Bram gives you the speed of notes with the structure of a real workout tracker. BUILT FOR MORE THAN BARBELLS Use Bram for lifting, accessories, bodyweight work, calisthenics, conditioning, or any workout you want to remember. WRITE YOUR WORKOUT. BRAM TRACKS THE REST. Start with your next workout and keep your training history in one place. SUBSCRIPTION Bram requires an auto-renewable subscription after a 3-day free trial.
