Gymbell is a straightforward workout tracker built for people who want to follow their own program, log their sets, and see real progress over time. No clutter, no complicated setup — just open the app and train. YOUR PROGRAM, YOUR WAY Build workout templates exactly how you like them. Add the exercises you do, set your default sets and reps, and you're ready to go. Gymbell stays out of your way and lets you focus on lifting. SMART NEXT UP Not sure where to start today? Gymbell keeps track of what you've trained recently and suggests what to hit next — so you don't have to think about it. PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD MADE EASY Gymbell tracks your weights over time and nudges you when it's time to add a little more. Small steps, consistently applied, are what build real strength. BODY BALANCE See which muscle groups you've been training over the last 30 days. Great for making sure you're not neglecting anything or getting lopsided. STRENGTH CHARTS Watch your estimated 1-rep max trend climb for every exercise. A simple way to see that the work is paying off. APPLE WATCH COMPANION Log sets from your wrist, adjust reps with the Digital Crown, and let the rest timer run without touching your phone. Auto-advances to the next set, shows heart rate, and gives you a session summary when you're done. BUILD OR IMPORT YOUR PROGRAM Create templates by hand, or import your existing history from Strong via CSV. If you want, you can also have AI generate a multi-week program based on your goals — but it's entirely optional. YOUR DATA YOUR DECISION No account required. Your data syncs only to your own iCloud — it never touches third-party servers. Everything is stored using Apple's SwiftData. If you choose to use AI features, workout data is sent to the AI provider you select. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Some of your clearest thinking happens on a walk — and then it's gone by the time you're home. Stroll is a calm place to keep it. Leave your phone behind, take an unplugged walk (a sunrise one is lovely), and when you're back, write down the thoughts that surfaced. That's the whole app. No feeds, no streaks that punish you, no noise. WALK FIRST, PHONE SECOND The best walks are unplugged, so Stroll is built to work even when your phone never came along. Just enter how long you were out when you get home. Prefer to time it? Bring your phone on airplane mode — the timer keeps perfect time even with the screen locked and no signal. ONE NUMBER THAT ONLY GROWS Stroll adds up every walk into a single, quiet total: the time you've spent walking and thinking. It never resets and never guilts you. It just grows. A GENTLE PLACE TO REFLECT • A simple, notebook-style space for what came to mind • A calm prompt to get you started • Your past reflections, gathered by day • A quiet "look back" months later, so you can see how your thinking has changed PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No login. No ads. No analytics. Your reflections live on your device — they're never sent to a server, and no one (including me) can read them. Optional iCloud Backup keeps a private copy in your own iCloud so your words survive a new phone. FREE, AND IT'LL STAY FREE Stroll is free with nothing locked away. If it's helped you, you can leave a one-time tip to support an independent maker — but there's no pressure, and tipping never unlocks anything. Take a walk. Let your mind wander. Keep what it brings back.
