Rede is a decision-first strength training app. Open it and it tells you exactly what to do today: which day to train, how heavy to go on every lift, how many sets and reps, and how long to rest. No more guessing the weight. Why it’s different: Most training apps are just a logbook — you still decide every load, every jump, whether to train at all. Rede hands that to an engine. It reads your last actual performance, the gap since you trained, and your weekly volume, then decides whether today should push, hold, back off, or rest. You own the structure (which lifts, what order, how your split is arranged); it owns the load and the progression. Today — your whole session at a glance • A clear call: train, go light, or rest — with the reasoning shown • Target weight × reps, sets, rest, and RIR computed for every lift • Side-by-side with last time, so progress is obvious Don’t feel like legs today? “Switch today’s session” swaps in another training day for just today — the one you skip comes back next session. You can swap a single exercise too. Just this time, or from now on — your call. Train — just follow along • A big, focused set logger: weight, reps, RIR in one tap • Log discomfort or adjust the weight on the fly; suggestions follow your change • Always shows what’s up next Progress — real proof you’re improving • Weekly volume, session/week/cycle views, strength trend (estimated 1RM) • Training consistency calendar and personal-record (PR) markers • Shown neutrally — no shaming, no hype Plan — the structure is yours • Upper/Lower and other split templates, scheduled by week • Reorder training days, add, remove, or swap exercises freely • Gentle nudges when you drift from the plan — adopt or ignore in one tap Privacy-first (we mean it) • 100% on-device. No sign-up, no login. • Nothing collected, uploaded, or tracked. • Apple Health is read-only — it imports your latest body weight for on-device display, never sent anywhere. Rede is for people who already lift and want a rational coach to make the load decisions — not another blank logbook. Calm, restrained, no slogans. Let Rede decide. You just lift.
