IronLog vs Hone Training

IronLog is a fast, focused personal record tracker for lifters who want a serious training log without fighting a bloated workout app. Download IronLog free and start logging PRs right away. This review build keeps the core tracker and training utilities available without requiring a purchase. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ START WITH THE CORE LOG Log a record on any movement in seconds. Pounds or kilograms, your choice. Tap in each record quickly, review the timestamp, and keep your lifting history in one focused place. ORGANIZE YOUR MOVEMENTS Keep your full lift list in one place — squat, bench, deadlift, press, accessories, and any custom movement you want to add. Browse a bundled 110-exercise library, search by movement, and star your favorites to keep them at the top. CELEBRATE NEW PRs Hit a new record and IronLog tells you. A clean celebration screen marks the moment so you do not just blow past your best lift like it didn't happen. PLATE CALCULATOR Built-in plate calculator does the math for you. Tell it the bar weight and target, get the exact plates per side. No more counting kilos at 6 a.m. REST TIMER A focused rest timer right inside the app. Start it from any movement detail and keep your rest honest between sets. ADVANCED TRAINING Log traditional sets alongside supersets, circuits, giant sets, and drop sets. Use built-in program templates when you want structure without rebuilding a plan from scratch. CALENDAR AND TRAINING TRENDS Review your training by week, month, or year. Compare current and previous seven-day volume, scan volume-weighted calendar heatmaps, and see muscle-group frequency across your completed workouts. DATA CONTROL IronLog is built around manual logging with export and delete controls in Settings. Keep your core log simple, portable, and under your control. LOG GYM AND MEET PRs Track the lifts that matter to you, whether they happen in training or on the platform. Manual PR logging stays fast and under your control. YOUR PROGRESS, YOUR DEVICE No account is required for the core log. Export and delete controls are available from Settings. FREE-FIRST RELEASE Core PR logging, movement tracking, CSV export, the plate calculator, the rest timer, exercise guides, program templates, workout calendar, training trends, and custom movement categories are available without purchase in this submitted build. Optional Pro utilities may be evaluated in a later release only after purchase and restore flows are fully verified. BUILT FOR LIFTERS Whether you train competitively, casually, or just want to know your numbers are going up, IronLog gives you a focused home for the lifts that matter.

Hone is a strength-training tracker built for people who actually run programs and care about progressing. Log workouts in a clean, fast UI; let the app handle the math. EVERY DAY Open the Today tab to see what's on the program. Tap into Active Workout, log sets as you go, and Hone catches every PR the moment it happens. A floating rest timer keeps you on pace without making you watch a screen between sets. REAL PROGRAMS Build multi-week programs with day-by-day exercise prescriptions, then run them. Hone schedules each session, tracks where you are in the cycle, and applies your auto-progression rules to next week's load. AUTO-PROGRESSION YOU CONTROL Pick how a movement progresses — linear, double-progression, RPE-based — and Hone bumps the prescribed load when you hit your reps. No more guessing what to lift on Monday. ANALYTICS THAT MATTER - Estimated 1RM trends per exercise (formula configurable: Brzycki, Epley, Lombardi, or Lander). - Volume by muscle group, week over week. - Bodyweight tracking with rolling average. - Full workout history in calendar and list views. LIFTER-FRIENDLY DETAILS - Plate calculator with your real plate inventory configured. - 137 pre-loaded exercises, plus custom-exercise support. - Export every workout as JSON, every set as CSV — your data, your call. - Five themes: Iron Midnight, Cobalt Forge, Forest Carbon, Wine Studio, Paper Light. - Optional rest-timer notifications. PRIVACY BY ARCHITECTURE Hone makes zero network calls. Everything you log stays on your iPhone in a local SwiftData store. There are no accounts, no logins, no analytics, no advertising SDKs, and no third-party services of any kind. Hone is currently in beta and will continue to be free during this beta release, with no in-app purchases. If you want a tracker that respects your time, your training, and your privacy, Hone is built for you.
