GymTracker is the minimalist workout log built for serious lifters. Track every set, see every pound of progress — 100% offline, no account required. Your training data stays on your device, never synced to the cloud. Create your own exercises, build your workouts from scratch, and organize your routines exactly the way you train. Full freedom, no rigid templates. NEW IN v1.0.3 — iOS 26 LIQUID GLASS The entire interface has been refined to match Apple's iOS 26 design language: native tab bar with Liquid Glass material, SF Symbol icons throughout, native search bars, and an "Active workout" pill that follows you across the app so you can return to your session from any screen with one tap. Plus haptic feedback on every set, tap-to-copy from your last workout, and a paywall redesigned for clarity. WHY GYMTRACKER? No cloud sync. No account. No social features pretending to motivate you. Your workout data lives on your device, period.
