Every workout tracker makes you stop and tap. Re-rack doesn't. Finish a set, say what you did — "bench press 225 for 6," "handstand push-ups for 3," "L-sit hold for 30 seconds" — and Re-rack understands it, logs it, and files it under the right exercise. No menus. No typing between sets. Just lift and talk. WHY LIFTERS SWITCH TO RE-RACK • Log by voice (or type). Say it in plain English and AI figures out the exercise, the weight, the reps — even the movement pattern. Prefer to type? One tap does that too. • Automatic PRs. Every set is checked against your bests. Search any lift to see your top sets and exactly when you hit them — so you always know the number to beat. • See yourself get stronger. Estimated 1RM, warm-up vs. working sets, and clean strength trends over time. No spreadsheets. • Know your weak points. Re-rack maps your training across the real movement patterns — horizontal & vertical push, horizontal & vertical pull, hips, knees, ankles, and core — so you can see where you're strong and where you're lagging. • Built for every style of training. Barbells, dumbbells, machines, cables, bodyweight reps, and calisthenics/isometric holds like planches and L-sits all log the same effortless way. • A home screen that's alive. The background tracks your real time of day — sunrise, drifting clouds, a moon at night. • Private by design. Your training history lives on your device. No account required. Export or back it up anytime. RE-RACK PRO Logging your sets and viewing PRs is free, forever. Re-rack Pro unlocks full movement analysis, complete history and trends, unlimited saved exercises, and backup. Start with a 3-day free trial. Stop breaking your focus to log. Just say it, and get back to lifting. — Re-rack Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. • Monthly and Annual options; pricing shown in the app. • A 3-day free trial is available; payment is charged to your Apple ID at the end of the trial. • Your subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Terms of Use: https://comfy-phoenix-9dea9b.netlify.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://comfy-phoenix-9dea9b.netlify.app/privacy.html
