Read full description

Simple Workout Tracker is a clean, focused workout log built for anyone who wants to track sets and reps without fighting their app. Plan a workout, hit "go", and let the app handle timers, history, and progress charts in the background. REUSABLE WORKOUT TEMPLATES Build workouts like Push Day, Pull Day, or Leg Day once โ€” then start a session in a single tap. Each workout can mix uniform sets (3 ร— 8 @ 185 lb) with individually configured sets for pyramids, warm-ups, or drop sets. ADAPT YOUR WORKOUT ON THE FLY The gym never goes exactly to plan. If your next machine is taken, drag any exercise up or down in your current workout to do it now instead โ€” your sequence updates instantly and your rest timers keep tracking the new order. Skip an exercise to defer it to later, or add an unplanned exercise mid-session without breaking your template. Reorder works on Apple Watch too, so you can adjust without pulling out your phone. PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD, AUTOMATED Every exercise remembers your last weight, reps, and sets. New workouts start pre-filled with what you actually did last time, so adjusting your numbers is a one-tap edit โ€” not a hunt through history. REST TIMERS THAT GET OUT OF THE WAY Per-set rest timers start automatically when you complete a set, and a separate between-exercise rest gives you time to move between stations. Customize durations, sounds, and haptics โ€” or skip the rest with one tap. APPLE WATCH COMPANION Start, run, and log your workout from your wrist. Edit reps or weight mid-set, reorder or skip exercises, and stay in the workout view as the rest timer counts down. Set completions sync back to your iPhone automatically. LOCK SCREEN LIVE ACTIVITY A Lock Screen card shows your current exercise, set, and rest timer in real time. Tap Complete Set without unlocking your phone โ€” the app does the rest. APPLE HEALTH Every completed workout saves to Apple Health as a Traditional Strength Training session, contributing to your Fitness rings. PROGRESS & HISTORY Workout History shows every session you've logged. Progress charts plot weight-over-time per exercise so you can see your workouts trend upward. ICLOUD SYNC Exercises, workouts, history, and progress sync seamlessly across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac via iCloud. SUBSCRIPTION & FREE TRIAL Every new user gets 14 days of full access to every feature. After the trial, the app stays free for a single workout template you choose, with all your data kept intact. Subscribe (monthly or yearly) for unlimited templates plus Apple Watch and Live Activity support. No accounts to create. No ads. No tracking. Just a workout log that respects your time and your data.

About

Simple Gym Workout Log

Read full description

Most gym apps are dark and busy. VOID isn't. I designed it to make logging easier, not harder. Log one set. It grows from there. WHAT I PUT IN It does what a workout log should do. Logging โ€” Weight, reps, and set count, grouped by exercise. Add, edit, or delete. Timer โ€” Time your rest between sets with durations you choose. History โ€” A calendar shows which days you trained. Pick a date to see that day's sets, and add, edit, or delete just like today's log. Widget โ€” Put that calendar on your home screen. Small, medium, or large. Progress โ€” See trends in days trained, reps, sets, and volume, over any period from one month to all time. View them overall, by category, or by exercise. Each exercise also shows its heaviest weight, its PR, and how long it's been since you last trained it. Categories and exercises โ€” Common exercises are there from the start. Add, rename, delete, and reorder them, so bodyweight and machine exercises fit too. Names can be in any language. Increments โ€” Set how much each button changes weight and reps. Units โ€” kg or lb. Theme โ€” Light, dark, or system. Language โ€” English or Japanese. First day of the week โ€” Sunday or Monday. The calendar and Progress follow it. Backup โ€” Export your records to a file and restore them later. CSV โ€” Export your records as a CSV file. HOW IT WORKS Pick an exercise and the weight and reps from your last session with it are already filled in. The more you log, the less there is to enter. To change them, use the buttons along the bottom of the screen. No keyboard appears โ€” the only exception is naming an exercise you add yourself. When the numbers are right, swipe them up. That saves the set. There is no save button. The numbers stay where they are, so another set at the same weight is one more swipe. Weight can stay at 0 kg. That's for bodyweight exercises. Swipe sideways from either edge of the screen to move between logging, today's sets, your history, and progress. WHAT I LEFT OUT Logging is still at the core. ยท Notes ยท Routines and programs ยท Goals ยท Body weight and body fat ยท Apple Health Not because I couldn't build them. I decided they weren't needed. If there's something you want, tell me. I read everything. NO ADS. NO NOTIFICATIONS. NO SIGN-UP. NO SYNC. You won't see an ad. You won't get a notification. There is no account to create and no email address to give. Nothing syncs anywhere. Your records are stored on this device. PAID FEATURES Progress and CSV export unlock with a one-time purchase. Not a subscription. Everything else is free, with no time limit. FROM THE DEVELOPER I build apps on my own. I tried a lot of workout apps, and they all seemed to be heading in the same direction. Dark screens, packed with information, complicated to look at. For people who already know what they're doing, that may work well. For someone just starting, or someone who only trains now and then, I thought it probably didn't. So I built this by taking things away instead of adding them โ€” a different shape for a workout app. If it isn't for you, that's a shame โ€” but don't feel bad about dropping it. Another app, pen and paper, or nothing at all โ€” just keep training.
