LiftIQ vs Trace Elements

Most strength apps just record what you did. LiftIQ tells you what to do next — based on how recovered you actually are. LiftIQ is a recovery-aware strength training coach. It reads your Apple Watch, Oura Ring, Garmin, or Polar data through Apple Health to score your daily readiness, then auto-generates your next workout around it. No wearable? A 10-second check-in does the same job. — WHY LIFTIQ — Other apps treat every day the same. But your body doesn't. Sleep poorly and your nervous system needs lighter loads. Hit a recovery peak and you're ready to push. LiftIQ is the first strength app that actually programs around this — built for lifters who are tired of guessing when to push and when to back off. — WHAT YOU GET — - Daily Readiness Score: Auto-calculated from HRV, sleep, resting heart rate, and training load. Or use the manual check-in if you don't wear a tracker. - Smart Programming Engine: Built on linear and undulating periodization, Epley 1RM estimates, and evidence-based progression rates. Auto-adjusts your next session ±10–15% based on readiness — so a rough night doesn't cost you the week. - Workout Logger: Fast set/rep/weight entry, rest timer with per-exercise overrides, supersets, drop sets, and session notes. - Program Library: 12+ proven programs with active progression logic, including 5x5 linear progression, Power Hypertrophy Upper Lower, PPL, RPE-based autoregulation, and a research-backed hypertrophy program. - Exercise Library: 200+ exercises with muscle group tagging, search, filtering, and custom exercise support. - Cycle-Aware Training (opt-in): Phase-specific intensity adjustments through the menstrual cycle. Privacy-first, syncs from Apple Health or manual logging. - Progress Tracking: 1RM estimates, volume trends, body weight, strength progression charts. — WORKS WITH YOUR DEVICES — LiftIQ reads from Apple Health, so any device that writes there works: Apple Watch, Oura Ring, Garmin, Polar, and more. Nothing required — every feature works without a wearable. — PRICING — Free: 3 sessions per week, full exercise library, basic logging — no time limit, no credit card.

One app, $9.99, no proprietary hardware, recovery-aware programming that actually changes what you do tomorrow. Train smarter. --- Privacy: LiftIQ never sells your health data and never uses HealthKit data for advertising.

Trace Elements is a private, offline food diary for people on a restricted diet — a low-nickel diet for Systemic Nickel Allergy Syndrome (SNAS) or nickel-sensitive dermatitis, or a low-cobalt diet. Log what you eat and the app estimates how much nickel (or cobalt) each meal and each day adds up to, against a daily limit you set. It works fully offline, has no account, no ads, and no tracking. Your data stays on your iPhone. FAST DAILY LOGGING • Add foods to Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snacks • Enter amounts in grams or common serving sizes • A progress ring shows your running daily total at a glance • Copy a meal forward from yesterday with one tap • Save favorite meals and re-add them in seconds A FOOD DATABASE THAT GROWS WITH YOU • Hundreds of foods with reference values from the Rebelytics low-nickel and low-cobalt diet datasets • Edit or add your own values — they're saved and reused • Scan a packaged product's barcode to pull in its ingredient list • Can't find a food? Look it up in the USDA FoodData Central database, or use the in-app web lookup. These optional lookups are the only times the app goes online. RECIPES • Build compound foods (a sandwich, a stew, a takeout order) from ingredients and the app totals them automatically • Save them as reusable recipes SEE YOUR TRENDS • A calendar colors each day Good, Caution, or Over against thresholds you choose • Keep a per-day journal with mood and notes PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No sign-in, no user accounts • No advertising, analytics, or crash-reporting SDKs • Camera images from barcode and menu scans are read on the device and never stored or uploaded TRACE ELEMENTS PRO (optional subscription) • Track cobalt alongside nickel, with its own daily limit and dataset • Scan a restaurant menu: photograph it, pick your dish, and its ingredients are looked up — on supported iPhones, your phone's own on-device AI can estimate ingredients and portions without anything leaving the device • Export PDF reports to share with your clinician • Back up and restore everything: to a file, or to your own iCloud • $1.99 per month or $12.99 per year.

Managing it day to day was harder than it needed to be, and this was the only way I knew how to help. If it makes your days a little easier too, it's done its job.
