Bram is a simple workout and strength tracker built to help you get stronger without tracking harder. Write your workouts like you would in a notes app. Bram turns natural gym notes into structured sets, reps, weight, PRs, volume, training history, and weekly training insights — so you can see what is actually improving and know what to beat next. BUILT FOR LIFTERS WHO KNOW HOW THEY TRAIN Bram is built for lifters who already have a routine, program, or training style — and just want a better way to remember what they did, what improved, and what to beat next time. It works especially well if you currently track workouts in a notes app, notebook, spreadsheet, or gym app that feels heavier than it needs to be. WHY BRAM No spreadsheet. No dropdown maze. No social feed. No complicated routine setup before you can train. Just a calmer way to get stronger and track progress. WHAT BRAM TRACKS • Natural workout notes • Sets, reps, weight, and PRs • Weekly workout progress • Training history by day • Volume across muscle groups • Streaks and weekly targets • Apple Health context • Strength progress over time • Training insights without managing a giant fitness app NOTES-STYLE LOGGING. REAL WORKOUT TRACKING. Notes are fast, but they do not track PRs, volume, progress, or training history. Traditional workout apps can track more, but often make logging feel slower than training. Bram gives you the speed of notes with the structure of a real workout tracker. BUILT FOR MORE THAN BARBELLS Use Bram for lifting, accessories, bodyweight work, calisthenics, conditioning, or any workout you want to remember. WRITE YOUR WORKOUT. BRAM TRACKS THE REST. Start with your next workout and keep your training history in one place. SUBSCRIPTION Bram requires an auto-renewable subscription after a 3-day free trial.

See Your Last Set. Before You Lift. GYME is a minimalist gym tracker built around one idea: progressive overload should be effortless, not a spreadsheet. Every other tracker buries your last weight and reps in a menu you have to tap into. GYME puts it right above the input, every single set, every single time — so you always know exactly what to beat. WHY LIFTERS SWITCH TO GYME - See your previous weight/reps instantly — no tapping, no scrolling - Log a set in 2 taps, built for speed between sets - Clean, distraction-free interface — no cartoon mascots, no bloat - Track total kg lifted, total training time, and your streak - Watch your strength climb with simple, clear progress graphs - Build and save your own routines - No ads, ever BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO TRAIN SERIOUSLY GYME isn't trying to be a social network or a game. It's a tool for people who go to the gym to get stronger — with just enough motivation (streaks, milestones, total volume) to keep you consistent, without turning your training log into a toy. HONEST PRICING Start with a 7-day free trial of GYME Pro. No account needed, and nothing is charged today. Cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. After the trial, choose Pro Annual (1 year) or Pro Monthly (1 month), both auto-renewing until cancelled, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the app in your local currency. Whether you're following a program like 5x5, PPL, or your own split — GYME adapts to how you train, not the other way around. Download GYME and start your next set knowing exactly what you did last time. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
