Today's Training is a local-first workout diary for your workouts, body records, and authorized health data. Log strength training and cardio with exercises, set weights, repetitions, duration, RIR, and notes. Start from a workout plan or log directly. When training with a partner, keep each person's entries separate. Browse workout history by calendar and open exercise records, Body & Health, or photos. Body measurements and authorized Apple Health metrics appear in separate groups without combining different data sources. For analysis, use Ask Lianlian or optionally connect the ChatGPT plugin. Ask Lianlian provides training references based on saved workouts and optional health summaries. The ChatGPT plugin reads saved records within the categories you authorize. Manage sync categories or disconnect at any time. ChatGPT access is subject to its own platform requirements. Works on iPhone and iPad, with Apple Watch companion features during workouts. Regular exercises, supplement records, local backups, and supported import/export options remain available. Local logging does not require sign-in. Cloud coaching and plugin connections require internet access and applicable authorization. Apple Health access is optional. The app is a one-time paid download with no subscription. Cloud coaching includes 30 uses per day, resets the following day, and does not automatically charge for additional usage. AI content is for training reference only and does not replace medical, rehabilitation, nutrition, or injury-diagnosis advice.

Pay once. No ads. No subscription. No account. Ever. BoxBell is a boxing round timer that does one job properly. Set three numbers — rounds, round length, rest length — hit START, and train. The countdown fills the screen so you can read it from across the gym: green for work, red for rest. A real boxing bell rings every round in and every round out, and a wooden clacker warns you at the last 10 seconds. FREE, FOREVER · Classic 3:00 rounds with 1:00 rest, any number of rounds · The full-screen countdown, the real bell, the 10-second warning · A 10-second prep countdown before round one · Bell volume, haptics, sounds on or off · No ads. Not now, not later. BOXBELL PRO — ONE PAYMENT, US$5.99 · Custom round and rest lengths · Saved presets · Sound packs — Deep and Bright bells alongside Classic · Voice round announcements One payment. Yours forever. No subscription, no renewal, nothing to cancel. (US price; your store shows your local price.) IT DOESN'T DIE MID-ROUND Keeps running with the screen locked, in the background, with your music playing. The bell ducks your music for a moment, then hands it straight back. The bell rings even with the silent switch on. The clock is built on elapsed time, not ticks, so it can't drift or skip while your phone sleeps. WHO IT'S FOR Boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, MMA. Shadowboxing, heavy bag, pad work, sparring rounds. HIIT and circuit work too — any interval that needs a bell and a number you can read from the floor. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO No workout logging. No coaching content. No social feed. No account, no sign-up, no email. No ads, and no ad identifiers in the app at all. It sends crash reports and basic usage counts so I can fix what breaks — that's the whole list, and it's in the privacy policy. Built by one person who got tired of paying for a timer twice.
