Most workout apps store what you did. Form tells you what it adds up to — and what to do next. Free. No paywall. No subscription. STRENGTH RANK Every lift you log is scored against published strength standards for your bodyweight and sex, muscle by muscle, from Iron to Diamond. See a body map of where you're strong and where you're lagging, the exact weight that moves you up a tier, and a button that builds a program around your weak point. Other apps charge for this. WORKOUTS BUILT AROUND TODAY Tell Form your energy, soreness, equipment and time — or just type what you want in plain English. You get a session in about ten seconds, built around your training history, your PRs, and what you rated well last time. Push, pull, legs, full body, CrossFit WODs, run, swim, bike. PROGRAMS THAT ADAPT Commit to a four or eight week block and Form handles progressive overload week over week. Or start from the classic programs library and let it adjust to what you actually lift. LIVE SESSIONS Log every set and weight as you go. Rest timer, plate calculator, exercise demos, and a substitute finder when the rack is taken. Your current lift and rest countdown show on the lock screen and Dynamic Island, so the phone stays in your pocket between sets. FUEL Track calories and macros without switching apps. Search runs on USDA FoodData Central — real US brands and restaurant items, from Chipotle to Chick-fil-A. Scan any barcode for a health score built on the Nutri-Score model. Set targets from your body stats using the Mifflin-St Jeor formula. RECOVERY Mobility, stretching and foam rolling routines built around what you actually trained. Rate movements so Form learns what works on your body. PROGRESS Weekly volume, streak calendar, PRs, body weight trend, and AI physique analysis from a photo. Tap any day to see exactly what you logged. Built by one lifter who wanted a coach that paid attention. Everything above is free.
