Max is the workout tracker built for people who are serious about results — not spreadsheets. Just type (or say) what you did. Max handles the rest. NATURAL WORKOUT LOGGING Forget tapping through menus. Type your workout the way you'd write it — "3x10 bench press 80kg, 4x8 cable rows" — and Max's AI engine instantly parses every set, rep, and weight. Voice input lets you log hands-free between sets, with a real-time waveform so you know you're being heard. YOUR PERSONAL AI COACH Max doesn't just store your data — it understands it. Ask your coach anything mid-workout and get a response tailored to your training history, goals, and experience level. Max also coaches you proactively: it celebrates personal records, flags performance drops, detects pain signals, and delivers session summaries — automatically, without you asking. ANALYTICS THAT ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING See your progress through a full analytics suite: - Volume, reps, and workout duration across 1W, 1M, 3M, and 1Y windows - A live muscle-group heatmap showing exactly what you trained and how hard - A 6-axis radar chart comparing your current muscle balance vs. a previous period - Personal records tracked automatically with estimated 1-rep max (e1RM) for every lift - Daily streaks, total volume, and lifetime session stats at a glance CALORIE TRACKING Max estimates calories burned for every exercise using MET-based calculations calibrated to your body weight — no manual entry required. Sync burned calories directly to Apple Health for a complete picture of your energy output. APPLE HEALTH — FULLY CONNECTED Max syncs bidirectionally with Apple Health. Push your workouts and calorie data out; pull your latest body weight in. One tap. No configuration headaches. BUILT FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE - Offline-first — log workouts anywhere, sync when you're back online - Home screen widget showing your current streak - Smart daily reminders with rotating motivational messages on the days you choose - Full dark-mode interface designed for the gym floor PRIVACY BY DEFAULT Your data is yours.
