Routine Reps is a progressive routine tracker and design studio built for anyone who wants to make consistent, measurable progress — at anything. Most people who take their training seriously end up with a spreadsheet. It works, but it's fragile — easy to forget to update, hard to read mid-workout, and impossible to carry the momentum of your history with you. Routine Reps aims to bring everything a spreadsheet can do to life in an intuitive interface that works with you, not against you. The flexibility and power are still there. The manual upkeep isn't. The obvious use case is weightlifting. Build your push/pull/legs split, your 5/3/1 variation, your custom hypertrophy block. Set your starting weights, your rep targets, your increment and deload rules — and let Routine Reps handle the rest. When you hit your targets, it moves you up. When you miss, it backs you off. You just train. But Routine Reps isn't just for the weight room. Whether you are working on your golf putting game, tracking vocabulary, training for obstacle course racing, or learning an instrument, Routine Reps can help. Set a make percentage threshold and let the distance push back when you hit it. Track your long run mileage and step it up when you're ready. Define a tempo goal for a piece you're learning and build in a rule for when to move on. If you're trying to move a number in a direction over time, this is the tool for it. Setting up a routine in Routine Reps is as close to a blank canvas as you'll find in an app like this. Start from scratch or pick from a growing library of routines built by the Routine Reps team. From there, every parameter is yours to configure: - Variations — structure your week with multiple day types (A/B splits, push/pull/legs, upper/lower, or anything else) - Exercises and activities — add whatever you're tracking, name it whatever you want - Starting values — set your baseline for each exercise independently - Sets and reps — configure the rep scheme that matches your goal, including per-set percentage loading for pyramid or top-down sets - Increment rules — choose how much to add and after how many successful sessions - Deload rules — set a miss threshold and a fallback percentage so plateaus don't derail you - Success thresholds — for percentage-based goals (like putting or free throw practice), set the make rate that counts as a win Every parameter lives in one place. Change it anytime. The history stays intact.
