Everlift is a workout tracker built by lifters who got tired of every other app's missing features and quietly wrong math. It's mechanically honest — your volume, set counts, and records are the real numbers, never rounded or inflated. Most trackers log the same sets and reps. Here's what Everlift does that they don't: THE DETAILS OTHER TRACKERS MISS • One-Tap Logging — The keypad never closes between sets. One tap logs the set, auto-starts your rest, and jumps to the next set pre-filled from your history — so an unchanged set logs in a single tap, and a 3-set exercise drops from ~21 taps to 8. Other trackers close the keypad and make you reopen it every set. • Lock-Screen Rest Controls — −15s, Skip, and +15s act right on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, without ever launching the app (iOS 17+). Matches your light or dark theme. • Per-Hand Volume Math — A 30 lb dumbbell curl is 60 lb of volume per rep. You're holding two. Everlift counts both hands, so your volume is actually right. • Honest Set Counts — A drop-set counts as one working set, not three. Your totals reflect real work, and volume stays exact. • Micro-Loading — Fractional-lb plates plus 1.25 lb / 0.5 kg quick-adjust, with no silent rounding of your weights. • Estimated 1RM, Honestly — Your e1RM is charted as a trend over months, never faked as a PR. Only real max weight, reps, and volume earn a record. • Search That Finds It — Type "skull crusher" and get Lying Tricep Extension. Type "rdl" and get Romanian Deadlift — the lift you meant, first. • Per-Exercise Rest Memory — 3 min for squats, 90s for curls. The timer remembers per exercise, not one global default. COACHING THE BIG APPS LEAVE OUT • Deload Reminders — Train several weeks straight and Everlift suggests a deload before you stall. • Plateau Detection — Auto-flags a lift stuck for 6+ sessions and prescribes a fix: deload, more volume, or a variation. • Muscle Recovery Calendar — Green, yellow, red per muscle group so you train what's ready today. • Real-Time Coaching Chips — Per-exercise hints mid-workout based on your recent performance. THE BASICS, DONE RIGHT AND OUT OF YOUR WAY Fast set logging with an auto rest timer, effort logging your way (RPE 6-10 or RIR 0-4 — pick a scale in Settings, or leave it off), supersets, drop sets, rest-pause sets, warmups, templates, a plate calculator, and 400+ pre-loaded exercises plus your own. Three independent PR types — weight, reps, volume. Available in 9 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. THE PROGRESS THAT MATTERS • Progressive-overload status per exercise — progressing, stalling, or declining • Weekly volume trends and a frequency heatmap • Your strongest-lifts leaderboard • Per-exercise history with PRs and 1RM charts • Monthly recap and shareable cards for PRs and workouts YOUR DATA, YOUR WAY Works fully offline, no account required.

SaveBack turns saved YouTube links into repeatable daily routines — without turning the app into another feed to scroll. Open the app, pick a starter routine or build your own, and start. SaveBack keeps your routine ready on Home so you can begin without hunting for the right video each time. CORE FEATURES Saved routines — build a routine from YouTube links you paste or share into the app, or pick from a curated starter set organised by focus area: neck, shoulders, upper back, hips, lower back, yoga, stretching, and more. Home — start, continue, or review your saved routines in one tap. Player — follow each exercise in order and advance at your own pace. Reminders — optional local notifications to keep your routine on schedule. No account required. iOS Share Extension — send YouTube links directly into SaveBack from the YouTube app or browser. Clipboard intake — paste a YouTube link while the app is open and add it without extra steps. LOCAL-FIRST. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED. SaveBack stores your routines on device. There is no SaveBack account, no backend sync, and no analytics SDK. YouTube links you add may load metadata and thumbnails directly from YouTube; YouTube's own policies apply to that traffic. SaveBack is a routine utility. It is not a medical app and does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment. Consult a qualified professional before starting any exercise program.
