About

Training Ledger

Read full description

Training Ledger is a complete training log that never touches a server — your data stays on your phone. No account to create. No cloud to sync. No subscription. The privacy label on this page isn't marketing copy — it's Apple's own audit of what this app collects: nothing. YOUR TRAINING, ON THE RECORD Log sets in two taps with per-set reps and weight, warm-up ramps calculated for you, a rest timer that rings from the lock screen, and drop and failure sets when you want them. Auto-progression nudges your next target only when your last session earned it — honest numbers, no algorithm theater. 590 HAND-CHECKED ILLUSTRATIONS The exercise library is drawn, not stock-photographed: two-position illustrations in male and female figures, each verified by hand against how the movement is actually performed, with a form cue that tells you what matters. Filter by muscle, equipment, or figure. 49 READY-MADE REGIMENS Classic splits, dumbbell-only, kettlebell conditioning, cardio programs, mobility routines, and sport strength bases — or build your own with automatic progression. NUTRITION, FULLY OFFLINE Scan a barcode and get macros instantly from 437,000 foods stored inside the app — it works in airplane mode, because there's nowhere for the code to go. A 478-food verified database, saved meals, and calorie and protein targets built from your own goal. THE WEEK, IN WRITING Sleep, water, caffeine, weight, habits, and workouts roll into one day score and a weekly verdict. A recovery card tells you what's fresh and what's still rebuilding. A twelve-week consistency calendar shows the work adding up. Built solo by a surgeon who wanted a private, honest training log — and couldn't find one.
