SimpleLifts vs Pixel Workout

Log your lifts. Track your runs. Sync your devices. SimpleLifts is a privacy-first gym and run tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch — with no account, no ads, and no servers. Built for people who want a clean, fast workout log without giving up control of their data. WHAT YOU CAN DO • One-tap set logging — weight, reps, perceived effort, all from the watch or phone • Apple Watch companion — start a workout from your wrist, with live heart rate and calories captured through HealthKit • Outdoor runs — GPS route, pace, distance, and elevation, alongside your lifts in the same app • Indoor runs — log treadmill sessions by distance, speed, and time • Templates and programs — save your routines, build multi-day splits, run them in sequence • Exercise library — hundreds of bundled exercises with images, plus your own custom ones • Apple Health integration — completed workouts save to Apple Health and contribute to your Activity rings • Widgets and complications — see your last workout and weekly volume at a glance on your home screen and Watch face • Share extension — paste a workout from any app (Notes, Messages, the web) and SimpleLifts parses it into structured sets PRIVACY BY DEFAULT SimpleLifts has no backend server. Your workouts live on your device and — if you choose — sync to your other devices through your own iCloud account, never through us. We don't collect personal information, we don't run analytics, and we don't sell data. • No account or sign-up required • No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions • No analytics SDKs or tracking • Location used only during outdoor runs (when in use, never in the background) • Optional Notion sync — connect a Notion database to mirror workouts there if you keep a training journal in Notion ICLOUD SYNC Your lifts, templates, history, and exercise library sync between your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch via Apple's CloudKit framework. It's the same mechanism Notes and Reminders use — your data never touches a SimpleLifts server, because there is no SimpleLifts server. APPLE WATCH The Watch app is a fully native watchOS companion. Start a workout from your wrist, log sets via the digital crown or on-screen buttons, capture heart rate and active energy through HealthKit, and review your last session — all without your phone nearby. Outdoor runs use the Watch's built-in GPS. ON-DEVICE INTELLIGENCE Where SimpleLifts uses AI — for example, parsing a workout you share into the app from another source — it runs on Apple's on-device Foundation Models framework. No workout text is ever sent to a cloud AI service. (Requires iOS 26 or later on a device with Apple Intelligence enabled.) FREE, FOREVER SimpleLifts is free. There are no ads, no in-app purchases, and no premium tiers. If you'd like to support development, the best way is to leave a review and tell a friend. QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK?

Pixel Workout is a free, offline workout tracker for iPhone that turns every training session into a pixel on a GitHub-style contribution grid. Log your sets, watch your year fill with color, and build a streak you can actually keep. THE YEAR GRID Every active day earns a pixel — colored by what you trained (push, pull, legs, cardio, core) and brighter the harder you worked. Your whole year of training on one screen. When it looks good, share it: one tap renders your grid as an image for the group chat. WEEKLY STREAKS THAT SURVIVE REST DAYS Pick a weekly goal you can keep — 3, 4, or 5 days. Rest days never break your streak; only a missed week does. Milestones at 2, 4, 8, 12, 26, and 52 weeks keep the long game interesting. FAST, FLEXIBLE LOGGING Sets and weight, timed holds, distance cardio, or a hundred bodyweight squats a day — log it how you train it. Steppers prefill from your last session, an in-app numpad keeps you off the keyboard, and a rest timer starts itself after weighted sets. TRAINING PROGRAMS WITH AUTO-PROGRESSION Eight ready-made plans — Full Body A/B, Push Pull Legs, Upper/Lower, classic 5x5 strength, bodyweight-only, dumbbell-only — or build your own in the editor. Targets progress automatically from what you actually lifted last time: hit the top of the range and the plan adds weight; fall short and it holds. PERSONAL RECORDS, DETECTED Heaviest set, estimated 1RM, best-day totals, longest hold, fastest pace - records fire the moment you log them, for every training style, with a gold flash to match. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE Every exercise gets its own chart — topduration, or distance — drawn in chunkypixel lines that make the trend obvious at a glance, plus a per-exercise activity grid so consistency shows up lift by lift. SUPPLEMENT CHECKS One-tap daily checks for creatine and friends, tracked separately so rest days never touch your training grid. MADE FOR HOW YOU TRAIN Lifters chasing a 5x5, runners logging miles, calisthenics athletes counting daily push-ups, plank holders and stretchers — every training style erecords on equal terms. YOUR DATA IS YOURS No account. No cloud copy of your training. Workouts live on your iPhone with one-tap JSON backup, and the whole app works fully offline — log in ng. The app collects only anonymoususage statistics to help improve it; your training data is never uploaded. Free, with no ads and no subscriptions. Every workout is a pixel. Start filling
