Stone tells you exactly what to do: which weight to lift, the plates to load, when to rest, and when to add weight or deload. Log each set in a tap, then watch your strength climb over weeks and months. SWITCHING APPS? KEEP YOUR HISTORY Importing your existing lifting history is free, forever. Your past workouts and current weights come across in seconds, so you pick up exactly where you left off, no starting over. WHAT STONE DOES • Automatic progression – add weight when you succeed, deload after repeated misses, or set your own increment and deload rules • Programs your way – run 5x5, 3x5, 1x5, or 3x8, and tune the sets, reps, and weight jump for each lift • Plate calculator showing exactly what to load per side, in lb or kg • Guided warmup sets before your working weight • Rest timer between working sets • Swap any lift – substitutes inherit your weight, plate math, and PRs • Accessory work – add chin-ups, dips, or curls alongside your main lifts • History, progress, and PRs – weekly volume, streaks, and PR-aware charts • Make it yours – light or dark, four accent colors, alternate app icons, lb or kg YOU OWN YOUR DATA Your data lives on your device.
