Read full descriptionHide full description
Eccentric is a training log that records every workout — on any equipment — and connects it to the rest of your life: your wearable's recovery data, your calendar, and your AI assistant. Plans, history and honest progress in one place. Built with first class support for the Voltra I smart cable trainer, and just as at home with barbells, dumbbells, machines, bands or bodyweight. RECORD EVERY WORKOUT • Check sets off as you train — your reps and load count toward volume and history immediately. • Import your Voltra export and measured velocity, power and range of motion replace the numbers you entered. • Log on any equipment: cable, barbell, dumbbell, machine, bands or bodyweight. CONNECT YOUR RECOVERY • Bring in sleep, HRV, readiness and resting heart rate from your wearable (Oura and more). • See how recovery lines up with your training PROGRESS YOU CAN TRUST • Personal bests and strength, velocity, power and volume over time PLAN YOUR WEEK • Lay out your training days and rest days. • Sync your plan straight to Apple or Google Calendar. TRAIN WITH A COACH • Share a plan with a coach or training partner. ASK YOUR AI ASSISTANT • Connect your training to an AI assistant to review sessions, adjust plans and answer questions in plain language. BUILT FOR ECCENTRIC OVERLOAD & BFR • Purpose-built for eccentric (lowering-phase) training and blood-flow-restriction (Kaatsu) work, treated as first-class training conditions rather than an afterthought. Start free — record your next session in seconds.

Compound is a workout app with exactly one workout in it. NO MORE BOOKKEEPING Compound runs on double progression, a tried-and-true method for getting stronger. We just handle the bookkeeping. Hit your target reps, and the app bumps the target up for next time. Hit the top of the rep range? The weight goes up (5 lbs for big lifts, 2.5 lbs for accessories) and your reps reset. If you miss a set, just long-press to log what you actually did, and the app holds the weight steady until you're ready. No spreadsheets, no thinking. If you want a slower climb, you can tell the app to require up to five successful sessions before it forces a weight jump. MORE THAN JUST MOVING WEIGHT Every workout starts with an actual warm-up: three minutes of timed cardio, dynamic movements, and ramp-up sets calculated directly from your first working weight. Rest timers kick in automatically between sets. Ten minutes of guided mobility wraps up the day. You can tweak or turn off any of this, but the defaults are designed to give you a complete, balanced program. TRACKS LIKE REAL LIFE Not every exercise fits perfectly into a generic "reps and weight" counter. Tap to log your squats. Run the built-in stopwatch for dead hangs and let it save your PR. Use the countdown for planks. Every exercise is tracked exactly the way you actually do it. LEAVE YOUR PHONE IN YOUR POCKET The Apple Watch app mirrors your session in real time. Log sets, skip rests, and adjust the weight on the bar right from your wrist. Your phone and watch stay perfectly synced, and everything gets sent straight to Apple Health, complete with your heart rate and active calories. YOURS, PRIVATELY No account. No sign-up. Nothing is uploaded to a server that reads your training. Your history is stored on your device, full stop, and you can export the whole of it as a file at any time, subscribed or not. Start by entering the weights you lift today, or start everything at zero and let the progression build. Either way, the next session is always ready. SUBSCRIPTION Compound Standard unlocks the whole app and comes in two terms, monthly and annual, both opening with a 14-day free trial. Prices are shown in your own currency on the subscription screen inside the app before anything is charged. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. It renews automatically unless auto-renew is switched off at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and can be managed or cancelled any time in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lift Eccentric at none against Compound's 3. Lift Eccentric also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
