The lifting log built for people who actually train. Log a set in three seconds. Type "bench 5x225" and Overload parses it instantly — no scroll wheels, no taps, no fluff. Your last set, target weights, and PR thresholds appear automatically as you type. WHY OVERLOAD • CLI-style logging. The fastest way to log a set on iOS, period. • Auto PR detection on every set using the Epley formula. You'll never miss one. • Rest timer auto-starts after each set with a customizable target. • Streaks that respect rest days. Schedule recovery — your streak survives it. • Strength Map. See where you rank against bodyweight standards (Beginner → Elite+) for every major lift. • Analytics that actually answer questions: training window, muscle balance, 8-week volume trends, this-week vs. last-week deltas. • Custom splits. Build any rotation (PPL, Upper/Lower, Bro Split, anything custom) and pin rest days to specific weekdays — or let it cycle. • Auto-detected muscle activation per session. See exactly what each workout hit. • 28-exercise default library with smart aliases — bench, ohp, squat, dead all just work. Add custom exercises in one tap. • Monthly recap cards designed for sharing. Built into the app, not bolted on. • Apple Health sync — bodyweight in, completed workouts out. Activity rings stay accurate. PRO Unlimited custom exercises, advanced analytics, the Strength Map, and the muscle activation breakdown. One-time purchase or monthly — your choice. PRIVACY Your data is yours. We don't sell it, share it, or use it to train models. Auth via Apple Sign-In or email. Permanent account deletion is one tap from settings. Built by a lifter who got tired of tools that got in the way. Feedback always welcome — support@getoverload.app

One thought is enough. OneThought is a small, private journal that lives on your iPhone. Open it, write a sentence, close it. The rest is for you. QUIETLY INTELLIGENT Daily prompts and weekly reflections are written on-device by Apple Foundation Models. Your text never reaches a server. Pick a tone — gentle, direct, or poetic — and the prompts (and the panda's voice) shift to match. SUGGESTIONS FROM YOUR PHOTOS OneThought clusters your photos into real moments — events with location, count, and time-range — and offers each one as a starting point for an entry. Tap a card and the editor opens with the photos already attached and the title pre-filled. Pull-to-refresh cycles through five different lenses (Recommended, Most photos, Newest, Favorites first, Surprise me) so the same library always feels fresh. Refresh three times and OneThought widens the time scope automatically — the panda lets you know. STORY MODE Tap the blue-glass card on Reflections to play your journal as a 9-scene narrated reel. Streak, words, places, dominant mood, top theme, photo collage. Numbers count up, the panda flies in from a different edge each scene. Every metric is clamped to your real calendar — no inflated streaks. PLACES Apple-Photos-style circular pins on the map. Each pin shows a hero photo from that place with a count badge for clusters. Filter by year. Tap to see what happened there. WEEKLY REFLECTION Each week the on-device model weaves your entries into a quiet summary. Mood chart, 12-month activity heatmap, themes word cloud, current and longest streak. Always optional, always editable. A SMALL PANDA A mascot peeks from the right edge of every screen. Tap it for a contextual line. Its voice follows your prompt tone. Auto-tucks back so it never covers content. The Calendar tab is here. Browse your timeline day by day. Every day in your Suggestions scope is laid out as a real photo card from your library, so it actually looks like the time you've lived. Tap any day to see your entries, your suggested moments, and a one-tap shortcut to write for that day — even if it's already passed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OneThought at none against Overload's 3. OneThought also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). Overload's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Overload sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. OneThought asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Overload against 5.0 for OneThought. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Overload has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Overload ships an update every 2 weeks, OneThought daily. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
