Phee Notes is a flexible workout log built around the fastest interface you already know: a note. Write your workout naturally, keep the shorthand that makes sense to you, and let Phee Notes turn it into useful training data—without forcing every set through a rigid form. WRITE YOUR WAY • Log sets, reps, weight, RPE, RIR, failure, duration, distance, and notes. • Use compact syntax such as “Bench Press 3x8@60”. • Customize your preferred workout syntax in the dictionary. • Dictate entries when typing is inconvenient. TRAIN WITH CONTEXT • Tap a recognized exercise to see what you did last time. • Insert previous sets directly into your note. • Configure automatic progression for individual exercises. • Keep active drafts easy to resume. SEE REAL PROGRESS • Review total sets, training volume, personal records, and muscle-group work. • Explore exercise history and progression over custom date ranges. • See today’s training summary directly from Home. • Create polished workout cards to share. PLAN AND ORGANIZE • Build a weekly workout plan and insert today’s session into the editor. • Browse your training through the calendar. • Group related workouts into files and programs. • Keep daily tasks alongside your training. MADE FOR YOUR APPLE DEVICES • Connect Apple Health to see today’s step count in Phee Notes. • Use Home Screen widgets for quick workout access and weekly training. • Use the Apple Watch companion for live workout metrics, rest controls, dictation, today’s stats, and tasks. Apple Health Integration: Notes can read your step count from the Apple Health app to display your daily steps and progress. Phee Notes does not write health data. LOCAL-FIRST Start logging without creating an account. Your guest workspace works locally, including offline. If you choose to sign in, you can back up your workouts and keep supported data synchronized across devices. Whether your training is strength, hypertrophy, cardio, or a mix, Phee Notes gives you the freedom of a notebook with the structure of a dedicated workout tracker.
