Read full description

Tally is a focused bodyweight tracker for push-ups, pull-ups, and squats. Set your baseline, and the app builds a daily plan that progresses automatically — no thinking required. Whether you're building a daily push-up habit, leveling up your pull-ups, or adding squats to round out your lower body, Tally keeps it simple. Just open the app, see today's targets, and start repping. TALLY PRO SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED Tally requires an active Tally Pro subscription to access all app features. No features are available without a subscription. Tally Pro Monthly is $4.99/month and Tally Pro Yearly is $29.99/year (includes a 7-day free trial). WHAT'S INCLUDED WITH TALLY PRO SMART PROGRESSION Tally calculates your daily targets based on your baseline and adjusts them week over week. You don't pick the numbers — the app does, so you can focus on showing up. GREASE THE GROOVE (GTG) Spread your reps across the day instead of grinding through one long set. GTG mode sends gentle reminders so you can knock out a few reps between meetings, while cooking, or on a walk. It's the training method used by elite calisthenics coaches — now in your pocket. THREE PROGRAMS The Essentials — Push-ups, pull-ups, and squats. One workout, repeated daily. The simplest path to consistent strength. The Duo — Alternates two workouts. Adds dips, chin-ups, and lunges for balanced upper and lower body work. The Trifecta — Rotates three workouts. Adds pike push-ups, bodyweight rows, and pistol squats for maximum variety. VOLUME TRACKING See your weekly totals broken down by push, pull, and legs. Color-coded charts show balance across movement categories so you can spot gaps at a glance. DAILY REMINDER Set a training time and Tally nudges you once a day. Simple, not spammy. REST TIMER A built-in rest timer keeps your sets paced. Start it after each set and get a haptic tap when you're ready to go again. EXPORT YOUR DATA Download your full workout history as a CSV anytime. Your data is yours. No gym. No complicated programming. Just a pull-up bar, your bodyweight, and a plan that grows with you.

If you track your workouts in your Notes app or a spreadsheet, sesh was built for you. You get the same simple logging. Just tap in your sets, reps, and weight. The difference is that sesh remembers your history and shows you whether you're getting stronger. No more scrolling back through old notes to remember what you lifted last week. Most workout trackers bury you in features, accounts, and subscriptions. sesh does one thing well. It's the simple, honest workout log. WHY SESH IS DIFFERENT • No account. Open the app and start logging. Nothing to sign up for. • Private. Your data lives on your phone, not in the cloud. It never leaves your device. • Simple. Log a set in seconds, then it gets out of your way. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK • Any exercise: gym lifts, bodyweight, cardio, home workouts. If you can name it, you can log it. • Every set, rep, and weight, logged in seconds. • Your full history for each exercise, so you always know your last numbers. • Personal records and progress over time. sesh is for people who don't need a personal trainer in their pocket. They just want a fast, private place to log their workouts and watch the numbers go up. Turn your Notes app workout log into something that actually tracks your progress. Download sesh.
