Notch vs Logbook

Notch is a free, private gym workout tracker. Built for lifters who just want to log a session, see their progress, and move on with their day. One thing. Done well. Log sets and reps. See your progression. That's it. No social feed, no streaks chasing you, no badges to collect, no plan recommending what you should bench tomorrow. Your data stays on your phone. No account to sign up for. No cloud sync. No analytics. No tracking. Notch makes zero network calls. The only thing that ever leaves your phone is what you choose to export. Free. Forever. No catch. No ads. No paywalls. No "Pro" tier. No "upgrade for charts." Every feature is in the free app. Features: • Log workouts grouped by muscle group + cardio • 100+ built-in exercises across Chest, Back, Legs, Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps, Core, and Cardio — plus add your own • Five exercise types: weight × reps, bodyweight reps (with optional added weight), distance + time, distance, time • Per-exercise variations saved as a pick-list (so analytics stay clean) • Optional partial-rep tracking per set • Rest timer between sets — runs even when the screen is locked • Calendar view with colored muscle-group dots for every gym day • Progress charts per exercise + variation: estimated 1RM, top-set weight, total volume, reps over time • Custom metrics — body weight, resting HR, anything numeric • Daily notes per day • Locations (home gym, commercial gym, etc.) with per-location progress filtering • Full JSON export/import — your data is portable, always • Light + dark themes that follow the system • Metric and imperial units What Notch will never have: Accounts. Ads. Push notifications begging you to come back. Streaks. Social sharing. AI coaches. Subscription tiers. Email lists. Crash reporters. Analytics SDKs. Just a gym log. The way it should be.

Every set has context. The same weight can feel completely different on another machine or at another gym. Logbook remembers the gym, equipment, attachment, and grip behind your numbers—then gets out of the way so you can train. FAST WORKOUT LOGGING • Record weight, reps, RPE, RIR, tempo, notes, and set type • See previous numbers while you train • Build supersets and reorder exercises • Run rest timers with alerts • Keep an active workout available while you browse the app HISTORY THAT MEANS SOMETHING • Review every past workout and exercise session • Keep machine and gym context attached to your lifts • See weekly streaks, working sets, training days, and volume trends • Use kilograms or pounds TRAIN YOUR WAY • Start a blank workout in seconds • Save reusable workout templates • Arrange templates into programs • Set up training splits and phases • Add custom exercises, gyms, equipment, attachments, and grips BUILT FOR THE GYM FLOOR Log workouts, finish sessions, review history, and export your data without a connection or an account. A weak gym signal never gets between you and your next set. YOUR TRAINING, YOUR DATA Export your complete workout history from your phone. Your workouts and private gyms stay on your device. Logbook is free to use with silent ads when online. An optional one-time purchase removes ads. This release has no accounts or subscriptions.
