Read full descriptionHide full description
Lawg is a minimalist workout log for lifters who'd rather type than tap. Write your sets in plain text, see your progress, keep your data on your device. No account. No subscription dance. No bloat. Type your workout the way you'd jot it in a notebook: bench press 3x10 60kg squat 1x8 60kg / 2x6 80kg / 3x4 100kg Lawg parses it. Tracks every set, rep, and weight. Compares against your last session. Surfaces your PRs without nagging you. —— Built for lifters who hate workout apps —— - Plain text entry — write workouts naturally, no tap-tap-tap forms - Per-set weights — for drop sets, pyramids, warmup-then-working - Progressive overload at a glance — every card shows what changed since last time - Personal records — max weight and top reps, no spreadsheets needed - Sets by muscle — tag exercises once, see your weekly muscle balance - 30 themes — light, dark, and 28 more for the picky - Daily notes — for the things sets can't capture - Private by default — everything stays on your device, no cloud, no account - Offline forever — works in the basement gym, the garage, the airplane - Export anytime — JSON for backup, PDF for sharing —— Premium (one-time purchase, no subscription) —— Unlock all themes, the muscle-balance chart, full PR history, PDF export, and unlimited daily notes for a one-time payment. No recurring fees. No tier games. Buy it once, own it forever. —— Why Lawg —— Most workout trackers turn logging into a chore. Endless menus, exercise pickers, autoplay videos, social feeds, AI coaches you didn't ask for. Lawg goes the other direction. You type, it tracks. Five seconds per set. Your data stays yours. If you've ever logged your training in Notes.app, in a notebook, in a spreadsheet — Lawg is what those wanted to be. —— What you can track —— Push pull legs splits • Upper lower routines • 5x5, StrongLifts, Starting Strength • Bodybuilding splits • Powerlifting cycles • Calisthenics and bodyweight • CrossFit-style sessions • Drop sets, supersets, pyramids, rest-pause • Custom exercises • Bodyweight movements • Progressive overload of any kind —— Privacy —— Lawg has no servers. No analytics. No tracking. Your training data lives on your phone — that's it. Export it whenever you want. Delete it whenever you want. Your gym log is yours. Made with care by an indie developer.

If you track your workouts in your Notes app or a spreadsheet, sesh was built for you. You get the same simple logging. Just tap in your sets, reps, and weight. The difference is that sesh remembers your history and shows you whether you're getting stronger. No more scrolling back through old notes to remember what you lifted last week. Most workout trackers bury you in features, accounts, and subscriptions. sesh does one thing well. It's the simple, honest workout log. WHY SESH IS DIFFERENT • No account. Open the app and start logging. Nothing to sign up for. • Private. Your data lives on your phone, not in the cloud. It never leaves your device. • Simple. Log a set in seconds, then it gets out of your way. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK • Any exercise: gym lifts, bodyweight, cardio, home workouts. If you can name it, you can log it. • Every set, rep, and weight, logged in seconds. • Your full history for each exercise, so you always know your last numbers. • Personal records and progress over time. sesh is for people who don't need a personal trainer in their pocket. They just want a fast, private place to log their workouts and watch the numbers go up. Turn your Notes app workout log into something that actually tracks your progress. Download sesh.
