DESCRIPTION: Flowrk builds intelligent, full-scale calisthenics workouts tailored to your equipment, experience, and the skills you're chasing. TRAIN SMARTER Pick from 5 training modes - Upper Body, Lower Body, Mobility, Handstands, or Flow. Flowrk builds a complete session around the equipment you actually own and the level you're actually at, with logical supersets and no wasted time. BUILD YOUR OWN PROGRAMME Enter a plan from your trainer, or write your own split. Multi-day cycles with supersets, per-exercise notes, prescribed rest intervals and per-set rep schemes. Start a day, finish it, and the cycle moves on by itself. TRAIN FOR A SKILL Working toward a muscle-up, handstand, pistol squat, L-sit, or shoulder stand? Pick your target skills and every session adds dedicated skill practice for the prerequisites you're still short on - placed right after the warm-up, while you're freshest. MOVEMENT & FLOW Flow is a dedicated capoeira and movement session - ground flow, inversions and balance, kicks and transitions. No equipment needed, just floor space. TRACK EVERYTHING Log reps, weight, and time for every set. Built-in rest timer with haptic alerts keeps you on pace. See your last performance on every exercise so you know exactly what to beat. PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD Flowrk automatically suggests your next target based on previous sessions - when to add a rep, when to bump weight, and when you've plateaued and need to change stimulus. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Personal bests on every lift and hold, progress charts per exercise, streak and consistency tracking, and a muscle balance check that shows what you've been neglecting. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Export a full backup and restore it - history, programmes, records and settings. No account required, and everything lives on your device. 200+ EXERCISES A curated library of calisthenics, kettlebell, ring, barbell, mobility, and capoeira exercises with coach tips and video references.

About

Dumbbell Tracker

Features
Read full description

Dumbbell is a simple, focused workout tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch โ€” built for lifters who want to log sets fast and stay in their rhythm between them. PLAN YOUR SPLIT Build recurring workout days โ€” Push, Pull, Legs, Core, Upper, Lower, Cardio, Flexibility, or Rest โ€” each with its own exercises, target reps, and suggested sets. Pick up your routine right where you left off. LOG SETS IN SECONDS Track reps and weight per set with a smart weight stepper: small taps for fine adjustments, bigger jumps the longer you hold. A built-in exercise library covers common gym movements, organized by muscle group, so you're never starting from a blank page. REST TIMER THAT FOLLOWS YOU Start, pause, or adjust your rest timer from your iPhone or Apple Watch, and it stays perfectly in sync between both. A Live Activity and Dynamic Island keep the countdown on your Lock Screen so you never have to unlock your phone between sets โ€” and a notification lets you know the moment rest is up. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Every finished workout is saved to your history. The session timeline automatically reconstructs how you actually trained โ€” straight sets vs. supersets โ€” based on when you logged each one, no manual tagging required. Each day also compares your total reps against your last time through, so you can see at a glance whether you improved, maintained, or fell behind. NEVER LOSE A SESSION Forgot to log a workout? Backfill it retroactively. Your data syncs across all your devices via iCloud, so your training history is always with you. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch companion app shows today's workout, lets you log sets, and controls the rest timer โ€” all without reaching for your phone. Dumbbell doesn't try to be everything. It's a fast, distraction-free way to plan your training, log your sets, and keep moving between them.
