Found a workout in a reel or a video? Paste the link. SetForge reads it and builds a routine you can actually train — every exercise, set, rep and rest. SAVE IT FROM ANYWHERE • Paste a link and let SetForge pull the workout out of it • Paste plain text from a caption or your notes • Or build one by hand in a few taps TRAIN WITHOUT LOSING YOUR PLACE Gym mode shows one set at a time, with a chip for every set so you see what you already lifted. Log the weight and reps and the rest timer starts itself. When rest ends your phone buzzes, even when it is locked, and the lock screen keeps the countdown in view. SEE WHAT THE SESSION WAS WORTH The moment you finish, SetForge maps the muscles you hit, totals the volume you moved, and catches any record you just broke — personal bests and session volume records are found for you, not typed in. Turn it into a card and share it. 890+ EXERCISES, PLUS YOUR OWN Filter by muscle or equipment. Missing a machine from your gym? Add it once and it is yours for good, along with your own equipment. WATCH EVERY LIFT CLIMB • Every lift at a glance: which are climbing, which are holding, which have slipped, and the records you set • A page for each lift with its chart, rep maxes and every session • A 12-week heatmap of every session, and sets by muscle • Body weight with the daily noise smoothed out, a goal forecast, measurements and a body-fat estimate • Progress photos, kept on your device AN AI COACH THAT HAS READ YOUR LOGS Ask what to train, when to back off, or why a lift stalled. The answers come from your own logged sessions — readiness, recent volume, and what you have actually been doing. PROGRAMS, NOT JUST SESSIONS Follow a multi-week plan, or let AI build one around your goals, schedule and equipment. Progression carries from session to session. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Export everything to a file whenever you want, and import it straight back. Sign in with Apple or Google to back up to the cloud and restore on a new phone. Workout tracking, the exercise library and gym mode all work without an account. SetForge Pro unlocks unlimited imports, strength and body analytics and the AI coach. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Terms: https://setforge.aneesstudio.com/terms Privacy: https://setforge.aneesstudio.com/privacy

Invite trusted friends to a private Circle and choose which supported progress signals to share. FREE TRACKING AND OPTIONAL PRO Manual food logging, food search, goals, and weight trends are free. AI meal estimates and barcode lookup include limited free allowances. Pro provides ongoing access subject to usage limits. Optional one-time packs add extra AI uses without a subscription. See the app for current allowances and localized purchase terms. Your exact food diary, weight, calories, photos, and measurements are not shared with Circle friends.
