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.

VeraLift is an AI-assisted form check for lifters who train alone. Record or upload a short video of a clear gym exercise and get conservative feedback based on what is visible in the clip: a form score, caution flags, top fixes, timestamped notes, recording tips, and private history. VeraLift works best when one exercise, one to three reps, your full movement, and the equipment path are visible. It is especially useful for common strength movements like squat, bench press, deadlift, leg press, pulldowns, presses, and other clearly recorded lifts. If the clip is too dark, cropped, obstructed, or unclear, VeraLift will ask for a better recording instead of guessing. Free users get limited form checks. VeraLift Plus unlocks more scored checks each month. VeraLift provides fitness technique feedback only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or a replacement for a qualified coach, trainer, or healthcare professional.
