About

Repsmith

Read full description

Repsmith is a workout tracker with everything included and nothing asked of you. No account, no subscription, no data collection. Install it and start lifting. THE PROMISE Repsmith is free forever. Not freemium, not a trial. There is no pro tier and there are no locked features, because you already have all of them. It's built by one computer nerd who lifts, not by a company. There is no business model because there is no business. TRACK YOUR TRAINING - Build unlimited routines for any split: push/pull/legs, upper/lower, full body, whatever you run - See total weekly sets per routine before you commit to it - Two logging styles: smart pre-fill shows last session's numbers as placeholders, or use tap-to-adjust steppers if you'd rather nudge - Warmup, drop set, and failure set types - Auto rest timer that starts when you log a set. Or turn it off if you rest by feel - lb or kg, light or dark, five accent colors WATCH YOURSELF GROW - Weekly volume targets per muscle, so you know when your chest is done and your calves are slacking - Sets, sessions, and volume tracked week over week - Streaks, muscle balance, and charts that tell you if you're actually growing YOUR DATA IS A FILE, NOT A HOSTAGE - Everything lives on your phone. No servers, no cloud, nothing to breach - One tap exports your entire history as a plain JSON file. AirDrop it, save it to Files, stash it anywhere - Import it on a new phone and you're back - Works offline, on a plane, in a basement gym NO ACCOUNT, EVER There is no sign-up screen because there is nothing to sign up for. The app doesn't know who you are and can't tell anyone. Want a feature it doesn't have yet? Email developer@repsmith.work. Ideas, bug reports, and gym stories are all welcome. If you ever see a paywall or a login screen, something has gone deeply wrong and you should tell me off. Built with iron and a mechanical keyboard.

About

PRGRS

Features
Read full description

PRGRS is a minimalist workout tracker with a single job: show your progress and get out of the way. No social feed, no leaderboards, just today's workout, a fast log, and numbers that climb week after week. It's built around three things: start faster, log with less friction, and review your progress. START IN SECONDS Open the app and today's session is already on screen โ€” your active program, the right weekday, and every movement on one compact card. Nothing to dig for. LOG WITHOUT FRICTION Tap a weight, set your sets and reps, and move on. Numbers use tabular figures so they never jitter. Swap in an alternative movement with a single tap. It all works offline and syncs the moment you're back online. A LITTLE MORE EACH WEEK PRGRS is built for progressive overload. Mark each movement to go lighter, hold, or push heavier next week and last week's numbers carry forward, so you always know your target. KEEP YOUR STREAK ALIVE Finish a workout and your streak grows. Complete every session in a week and earn a perfect-week bonus. A quiet nudge to keep showing up no badges to farm, no guilt trips. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Total workouts, average days per week, and total weight lifted, plus tappable charts of your volume and top weights over time. Activity heatmap shows your consistency at a glance. YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS Your data syncs to the cloud, so it's safe if you switch phones or reinstall. Sign in with email, Apple, or Google. Delete your account and everything in it anytime, right from the app. Set up your program and start today.
