About

LiFTY

LiFTY is a strength training log app built around one idea: gyms and machines aren't all the same. β–  Track by gym and machine If you train at more than one gym β€” or split your time between home and the gym β€” you can log each exercise separately by location and machine. No more wondering whether "60kg" means the same thing from one gym to the next. β–  Simple for beginners, as detailed as you want Start simple: just log weight and reps. As you get more comfortable, switch on left/right tracking, RPE (rate of perceived exertion), warm-up set flags, and free-text notes for a much more detailed log β€” without ever facing a cluttered, feature-heavy screen from day one. β–  No account required Skip the sign-up. Install and start logging right away β€” your data is saved on your device, so you can record a workout the moment you think of it. Change your mind later? Log in anytime to back your data up to the cloud. β–  Log from your Apple Watch Start, log, and finish a workout entirely from your Apple Watch β€” or join a workout you already started on your iPhone, partway through. Heart rate is tracked in real time, and everything syncs automatically with your iPhone. β–  Set goals and track them Set a goal around almost anything β€” set count, volume, body weight, estimated 1RM, and more. Check your progress anytime from the Home screen or a widget. β–  More features β€’ Menus: save recurring routines like Day A/B/C, with per-body-part set counts at a glance β€’ Analysis: compare weight, volume, and left/right differences over time with overlay charts, plus body-part breakdowns and training frequency β€’ Training calendar: a monthly view and a body-part matrix show what you've trained and when, including rest days β€’ Body stats: track weight, body fat %, and body measurements over time, with Apple Health / Health Connect sync β€’ Cardio support: log duration, distance, calories, and heart rate for cardio exercises too β€’ Smart target suggestions: hit every target set, and LiFTY suggests your next goal automatically β€’ Share your workouts: share a finished session as an image or text β–  Languages Available in Japanese and English. β–  Pricing All core logging features are free. The premium plan adds cross-device cloud sync & backup, unlimited gyms and menus, full access to the analysis features, an ad-free experience, custom color themes, and CSV data export.
