Stop guessing your next weight. RepXP is a strength workout log with automatic progressive overload. Set your rules once, then start each session with the right weight and rep targets already applied. Log on iPhone or leave it in the locker and train from the standalone Apple Watch app. One tap confirms a set, rest timers start automatically, and personal records are detected as you lift. A ROUTINE BEFORE YOUR FIRST SESSION Starting from nothing? Answer a few questions about your training days, how long you have, your goal, and your equipment, and RepXP writes the routine: a split that fits the days you picked, exercises matched to the equipment you own, sets and reps chosen for your goal, and a starting weight estimated on every exercise. Nothing is blank, and every number is one tap from being changed. AUTOMATIC PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD Define your progression once. RepXP can increase reps within your range, move the weight when you are ready, react to logged effort, and suggest a deload when progress stalls. Turning progression on comes filled in: a rep range from your goal, and a weight jump sized from the plates you own rather than a round number that does not fit your bar. FAST WORKOUT LOGGING • Confirm sets with one tap • See the active set clearly • Edit reps and weight when plans change • Track RPE or RIR by set, exercise, or session • Use automatic rest timers with Live Activities • Detect weight, rep, volume, and estimated 1RM records TRAIN PHONE-FREE ON APPLE WATCH Start and finish complete workouts from your wrist. Log sets, change reps or weight, adjust upcoming sets, and get haptic rest-timer alerts without carrying your phone. While the Watch runs a workout, tapping the banner on your phone shows the session as it stands, every set logged so far, and offers to take it over. LIVE CARDIO HEART-RATE ZONES See live heart rate and your current zone during cardio workouts on Apple Watch. On iOS 26, iPhone can also show live data from a compatible paired heart-rate source. Completed cardio workouts include average heart rate, max heart rate, and time in each zone. BRING YOUR TRAINING WITH YOU Import routines and history from Strong, Hevy, or Bolt. Import an AI-generated routine from a RepXP link or CSV. Create a readable custom export for a coach, an AI tool, or a spreadsheet.

Your last session, on screen while you're doing the next one. Alspr shows the weight, reps and RPE you hit last time inline on every set, so adding weight or reps is a decision rather than a memory test. A PROGRESSION ENGINE THAT PAYS ATTENTION - Warm-up and ramp-up sets don't affect your progression. Only your working sets count. - One weak session doesn't reset your numbers. Targets are anchored across your recent sessions, not just the last one. - Log RPE and the targets respond: a set that was a grind holds the weight instead of adding to it. - Alspr learns the weight jump you actually use on each exercise instead of assuming a fixed increment. - The same lift on two different days is one continuous progression, not two separate histories. - Start a new exercise and Alspr estimates a working weight from a similar lift you already do. ON YOUR WRIST - Apple Watch app: start, log and finish a workout without your phone. - Your weight and rep targets on the watch, not just set logging. - A complication for your watch face. - Live Activities: current exercise, set and rest timer without opening the app. - Workouts sync to Apple Health, with heart rate from your watch. TRACK WHAT CHANGED - PR detection across weight, reps and volume. - Estimated 1RM curves over 30 days, 90 days, 6 months or all time. - Calendar view of every session with volume, sets and time. - Effort rating on each workout. TOOLS - Plate calculator. - 1RM calculator. - Rest timer and a built-in workout timer. - Program templates, free for everyone. Pick one and it becomes your split. - 260+ exercises, plus custom, bodyweight and timed movements. - Share a workout card, or put your stats over a photo or video. Works in the gym with no signal. Everything logs offline and syncs when you're back. FREE TO START Unlimited workouts, routines and custom splits, with 90 days of history. Program templates, the plate and 1RM calculators, the rest timer, the Apple Watch app and Health sync are all free. PREMIUM Full history, progress charts, PR celebrations, adaptive targets, per-set notes and RPE, and CSV export. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Built for lifters who train with data.
