Add reps to your pull-up max without ever going to failure. GrooveLog paces easy, clean sets through your day โ pull-ups, push-ups, dips, squats and holds โ the Grease the Groove way. Open the app or glance at the widget, see what is ready, and act in seconds: log the easy set, wait for the spacing timer, switch to a Light Day or Exceptional Rest, or retest your clean max at the end of the cycle. The goal is steady practice, not a crowded gym planner. Free to log, Pro to plan: the exact split between the two is at the end of this page. GTG RHYTHM YOU CAN FOLLOW Grease the Groove works when practice stays easy and frequent. GrooveLog turns that rhythm into a simple loop: clean max -> easy reps or holds -> spacing -> rest -> retest -> next cycle. You always know which movement is ready and why. YOUR FIRST CYCLE IN ABOUT 2 MINUTES Choose one movement you already know, enter your latest clean max, and start the cycle. GrooveLog calculates a 40-60% easy target. Today then shows when your next easy set is ready. STEADY PROGRESS WITHOUT CLUTTER - Built for Grease the Groove, not generic gym logs - Supports multiple active GtG cycles for bodyweight movements - Keeps each set easy, clean, and far from failure - Shows when to log, wait, rest, reduce, or retest - Uses 40-60% clean-max targets, 3-6 easy sets, and 3-6 week cycles - Makes daily adherence visible without penalizing an Exceptional Rest day - Works offline with no account, no analytics, and no server WHAT IS FREE Up to 3 active GtG cycles at a time, with or without Pro: that ceiling comes from the Grease the Groove method itself, not from a paywall. The reminders are the same either way. - Focused Today screen with one clear next-set action - Interactive next-set Home Screen widget - One-tap easy-set logging - Interactive reminders to log or defer from the notification - Clean max history and guided retests - Long-term clean-max progress for every movement - Optional Easy or Near-limit feedback with deterministic local guidance - Persistent Light Day and Exceptional Rest controls - Rest timer for the next ready set - Smart rest days based on your GtG schedule - Pull-ups, push-ups, dips, squats, planks, L-sits, dead hangs, and custom movements - Duration targets for holds and isometrics - Cycle adherence, daily volume, and on-device history WHAT BUYING PRO ADDS GrooveLog Pro adds the plan, and nothing else: a named objective such as "12 clean pull-ups", piloted cycle after cycle. - Build, density, deload and retest phases, with a daily target that moves with your Easy / Near-limit feedback and the days you missed - The cycles you have left at your real pace, or an honest "not enough clean maxes yet" - Day slots derived from the hours you actually log at, over the last 21 days - Additional load for weighted GtG, with a clean max always compared at equal load - Yearly plan with a 7-day free trial, monthly plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase - Subscriptions renew automatically; cancel whenever you want in iOS Settings - Anyone who used GrooveLog before version 3.0 keeps Pro for free, forever, on that device (it is tied to the device and does not survive a reinstall) PRIVATE BY DESIGN GrooveLog keeps your GtG history on your device. There is no account, no analytics, no server, and no cloud sync.
