Lyfto remembers your training so you don't have to. Log every set in seconds with pre-filled targets, a live rest timer, plate math and warm-up sets built for you. Then watch it pay off: a Strength Score across your big lifts, per-muscle progress, tier badges from Novice to World Class and PRs tracked automatically. The difference is the coach. Lyfto's AI coach has read your entire history. Ask "what should I lift today?", "why is my bench stuck?" or "build me a program" and get answers built on your own numbers, including how hard every set felt. • Fast set logger with warm-ups, supersets and rest timer • AI coach that knows your workouts, PRs, effort and body data • Strength Score, per-muscle breakdown and PR predictions • Adaptive programs (PPL, Upper/Lower, Full Body, or your own) • 498 exercises with how-to guides • Weekly leagues, groups, a social feed and direct messages • Bring your history from Strong, Hevy or Fitbod • Apple Watch and Health: log sets and track heart rate on your wrist LYFTO PRO Logging, history, progress and the social features cost nothing. Lyfto Pro adds unlimited coach messages, the Smart model, the AI program builder, detailed stats and PR predictions, 50 progress photos, a weekly coach report and a Pro badge. Lyfto Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly. The yearly plan starts with a 14-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase, or when the trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Lyfto is available in English, Norwegian and German.

You likely have a few thousand weeks left. LifeMAX shows you the number, then helps you move it. A five-minute evaluation sets your starting estimate, built from the Social Security Administration's life tables and published research on habits, anchored to your exact birthday. From then on the number is alive. Log your days, keep your streaks, commit to hard changes, and watch weeks come back. Nothing jumps. Every day of follow-through earns a little more time, the same slow way real habits work. THE CLOCK A live count of the weeks you likely have left, with an hourglass that runs at the pace of your habits. Week N of your life, exact to the day. Compare where you started with where you are now. THIRTY SECONDS A DAY Sleep, food, mood, one win. The weekly check-in arrives pre-filled from your own week and moves your habit levels honestly. Your history folds into weeks and months, and trends chart your clock against the day you started, like a ticker. QUIT ONCE, KEEP THE YEARS The rare, hard changes worth years: quitting smoking, cutting back drinking, less screen time. Commit when you are ready. The days-strong counter and your clock both notice, and the app only offers changes that are actually yours to make. LOCK IN Name the task, pick a length, and focus. Your lock screen runs the countdown. Pause when life interrupts; paused minutes never count. Point sessions at goals with real deadlines, watch the hours add up, and see where your time goes across your last four weeks. ON YOUR WRIST AND HOME SCREEN An Apple Watch app, watch-face complications, and home and lock screen widgets. Choose what your widget leads with: the clock, a goal, your longest streak, or shuffle through everything. Every glance at the time is a glance at your time. EVERY NUMBER HAS A SOURCE Each factor is priced from published studies, and they are all in the app: dozens of sources, linked, with plain-language summaries. A recommended section picks the studies that match your own answers. ALSO Optional Apple Health import fills in what your phone already knows. Optional UV alerts arrive on high-UV mornings, scheduled a week ahead from Apple Weather, no app-open needed. Light and dark themes. YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS No account. No ads. Your data stays on your phone, and you can export a backup file that survives deleting the app. Nothing is collected, sold, or shared. Location, if you turn on UV alerts, goes only to Apple's weather service. HONEST BY DESIGN LifeMAX is a rough statistical estimate to think with, not medical advice, a diagnosis, or a prediction. Population statistics cannot know your future. The point is not the exact number. The point is that your time is finite, and what you do with it counts.
