Read full descriptionHide full description
Kiptly is a gym workout tracker for people who lift โ a strength training log that stays out of your way between sets. Your current exercise, set count and rest countdown stay on the Lock Screen, so you start the next set without unlocking the phone. BUILD A WORKOUT Pick the muscles and Kiptly builds the workout from your recent training. Three plans are free, then PRO. LOGGING IN TWO TAPS The set you just did shows as a hint in the next one. Add an exercise and last time's sets and weights are filled in; start a template as saved, or with its weights recalculated from your recent sessions. The rest timer starts itself. Workouts log fully offline and sync when you have signal again โ a basement gym is no longer a problem. YOUR WORKOUT ON THE LOCK SCREEN Current exercise, set count and rest countdown live on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Complete a set without opening the app. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE Personal records for every exercise: heaviest set, most reps, best estimated 1RM, biggest set and session volume. Each exercise has charts of your best weight and volume across your last ten sessions with it. Twenty-six milestones unlock as you train. STEPS AND SLEEP Once you tap Connect and agree, a card on Home shows your daily steps and sleep from Apple Health for the last 7 days. Kiptly only reads, never writes. TRAIN WITH A COACH Your trainer sees your consistency, sends you an intake form, and can log a session on your behalf, so nothing is lost when you train together. Connect by scanning a QR code โ no email to dictate. TRAIN WITH FRIENDS Follow people and their workouts appear in your feed, ready for a like or a comment. Your profile is public by default and can be made private; users, workouts, comments and messages can be reported, and blocking is mutual. CYCLE-AWARE TRAINING (OPTIONAL) Menstrual cycle tracking with phase-based intensity guidance. Entirely optional: nothing is recorded until you grant a separate explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time, and you can hide the feature whenever you like. Cycle data is stored on EU servers and is never used for advertising. FOR TRAINERS A client roster with compliance at a glance, intake forms, QR onboarding, and logging a workout on a client's behalf. Write and assign your own programs for free, from the workout library and up to three workouts of your own; PRO removes the limit. A free trainer account covers up to ten active clients. SUBSCRIPTION Kiptly is free to use. A PRO subscription (monthly or annual) unlocks multi-week training programs with auto-progression; advanced analytics, including volume by muscle group and body measurements; smart training suggestions โ what to train today, exercise alternatives, next-session progression and deload checks; a shareable workout card; unlimited custom templates; unlimited plans from the workout builder; personal-record history beyond the last 90 days; and, for trainers, the ready-made programs. You can try PRO free for 30 days without a card โ nothing is charged when the trial ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. A PRO subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends; the charge is taken within those 24 hours. Manage the subscription and turn off auto-renew in your Apple Account settings.

RepLab

Built by a scientist. Backed by the research. Not by guesswork. RepLab is a gym log created by a PhD scientist who reads the primary literature โ and every recommendation cites the study behind it. Most trackers just store your numbers. RepLab turns them into coaching grounded in published exercise-science research, with the reasoning shown on screen. Tap "Why this number?" on any insight and read the citation yourself โ Schoenfeld on volume, Zourdos on RPE, and more. No black-box AI. No influencer bro-science. A BODY MAP THAT GOES DEEPER THAN ANY OTHER APP Most apps colour a whole muscle group. RepLab maps your training down to the individual heads: โข Upper vs. mid vs. lower chest โข Side vs. rear delts ยท the three triceps heads ยท biceps + brachialis โข The quad heads, both hamstring heads, glutes, adductors โ even calves (gastrocnemius vs. soleus) and forearms A precise anatomical diagram โ front and back โ colours each region by how close it is to its research-based weekly volume target. PER-MUSCLE ANALYSIS โ THE PART OTHER APPS MISS Your chest volume can look perfect on paper while your upper chest gets almost nothing. RepLab breaks every group down head by head, scores how evenly your volume is spread, and gives you the fix โ including which exercise to swap for which, so you correct an imbalance without adding a single set of extra fatigue. Star a head you want to bring up and it's pushed toward the top of its range instead of just meeting the minimum. It catches the classics: pressing-heavy shoulders with nothing for the rear delts, pushdown-only triceps with a starved long head, leg-curl hamstrings with no hip hinge. LOG IN SECONDS โ WITH TARGETS THAT MATCH YOUR GOAL โข Weight and reps pre-filled; the next set's suggested load and rep target adapt to your goal โ strength, hypertrophy, or fat loss โข Full exercise history and estimated-1RM trend right where you log โ no digging โข Quick mode: a whole session on one screen โข Supersets and full circuits, walked station to station โข Warm-ups, drop sets, bodyweight + added weight โข Rest timer in the Dynamic Island ยท plate calculator ยท form cues ยท Apple Watch logging โข kg or lb ยท English & Spanish A FULL WEEKLY PLAN FROM 6 QUESTIONS Answer goal, experience, days, time, equipment, and priority muscles โ RepLab builds a complete weekly routine balanced to research-based volume targets. Prefer a proven split? Start from Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, Full Body, or 5ร5. As your data comes in, a weekly review fine-tunes your routines with one-tap Apply. TRAINING BLOCKS, PERIODIZED FOR YOU Plan a mesocycle and your weekly set targets ramp from the bottom of each muscle's range up to the top across the block, then drop for a deload. Your targets move with the block instead of sitting at the same number all year. NUTRITION TARGETS FROM YOUR ACTUAL TRAINING Daily protein, carb and fat ranges scaled to your bodyweight, your goal, and the hard sets you really logged this week โ carbs rise with training volume, protein rises in a deficit. Targets only: RepLab will never ask you to log a meal. COACHING FROM YOUR OWN DATA (PRO) โข Per-muscle balance analysis with exercise swaps and additions โข Plateau detection โ flags a stalling lift and suggests what to change โข Daily readiness score and next-session targets from double progression โข Push/pull & quad/hamstring balance, strength standards, rep-max table โข Heart-rate insights via Apple Health (Apple Watch) Logging, history, charts, and the weekly planner are free forever. Pro unlocks the coaching layer โ one subscription (7-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No tracking. Your training data lives on your phone and syncs through your own private iCloud โ we never see it. RepLab provides general training guidance, not medical advice.
