Ferro is a strength training tracker for iPhone that answers one question most gym apps can't: how strong are you, really? Pick your exercises — bench press, squat, deadlift, overhead press, pull-ups and dozens more. Log one honest set, and Ferro tells you your real strength level (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced or Elite) by comparing you against real-world strength standards for your bodyweight, age and sex. Not points. Not streaks. Your actual rank among people who lift. WHAT FERRO DOES Measures your real level in every exercise, from Novice to Elite, using recognized strength standards — you'll know exactly what percentage of lifters at your bodyweight you're stronger than Logs sets in seconds: your last set comes preloaded — adjust the weight, tap save, get back under the bar Shows real progress: a clean chart where every point is an actual set you performed — no projections, no inflated estimates Sets meaningful goals: choose the level you want to reach and Ferro tells you exactly how many kilos or pounds you are away Lives on your home screen: a widget with your lifts, levels and PRs — no need to open the app Works in kg and lbs, with plate-realistic numbers in both WHAT MAKES FERRO DIFFERENT One-time purchase. Ferro is free with up to 3 exercises — the complete app, nothing cut. One single payment unlocks unlimited exercises forever. No subscription, no monthly fee, ever. No account. No ads. No data collection. Everything lives on your iPhone. Ferro has nothing to sell because it knows nothing about you. Honest by design. Ferro won't inflate your numbers, gamify your training or nag you with notifications. It tells you where you stand and what's left to climb. WHO IT'S FOR Lifters who train with barbells, dumbbells and machines and want one thing: to know if they're getting stronger. If you've ever googled "am I strong for my bodyweight" or "bench press strength standards" — Ferro is that answer, living on your phone. Your data stays yours. Your progress is real. That's Ferro.

About

Features
Read full description

A gym log that only logs. No coaching, no macros, no nagging. Open it, write down what you lifted, close it. EVERY MOVEMENT 1300+ exercises videos, each with an animation, a muscle map and short cues. Search by body part, or by whatever equipments you have available. PLANS THAT STAY OUT OF THE WAY Build your own or start from a ready-made one. Sets and weights come prefilled from last time, so most sessions are a few taps. THE REST TIMER RUNS ITSELF It starts the moment you finish a set. Change it, or turn it off. SEE WHAT YOU SKIP A body map shades what you have trained and names what you have not. Every gap is one tap from the exercises that fix it. Works offline and in the moments you need it most, like in a gym with limited network connectivity, this works perfectly in those cases.
