Stop guessing your next weight. SetMark tracks every set you log and tells you exactly what to lift next — no spreadsheets, no math, no forgetting where you left off. Built for lifters who are serious about progressive overload, SetMark uses double-progression logic to automatically calculate your next working weight and rep target based on your actual performance. When your progress stalls, SetMark catches it and applies a smart deload automatically — so you keep making gains without guessing when to back off. **Features:** • Automatic progressive overload calculations for every exercise • Smart stall detection with automatic deload weeks • Planned mesocycle deloads to keep your training sustainable • Custom workout splits with full weekday scheduling • Mid-workout exercise substitution that tracks its own progression history • A catalog of 100+ exercises across barbell, dumbbell, machine, and bodyweight movements • Simple, distraction-free set logging — built for the gym, not the couch • 100% local storage — your data stays on your device, always Whether you're following a push/pull/legs split, an upper/lower routine, or a fully custom program, SetMark adapts to how you train and keeps your progression on track week after week. SetMark offers a 14-day free trial with full access to every feature. After your trial, core logging and progression stay free forever — upgrading unlocks Progress analytics, multiple saved splits, and mid-workout exercise substitution.
