Everything lives on your phone. Your training history is yours - it isn't uploaded anywhere, and it works exactly the same in the basement of a gym with no signal. LOG A SESSION β€’ Weight and reps, or duration for timed work β€’ Buttons to nudge weight and reps without opening the keyboard β€’ Personal records marked automatically as you hit them β€’ Rest timer with a default you set once, plus per-exercise overrides β€’ Running volume total for each exercise as you go β€’ Swipe between days to backfill a session you forgot SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING β€’ Chart estimated 1RM, total volume, or max weight for any exercise β€’ One month through to all time β€’ Drag across the chart to read any single point β€’ Full history per exercise, with an estimated 1RM for every set MOVE FASTER β€’ Save a session as a template and load it again next week β€’ Search a built-in exercise library by muscle group β€’ Add your own custom exercises β€’ Pounds or kilos YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS β€’ Export everything to CSV whenever you want β€’ Import it back, or open it in a spreadsheet β€’ Nothing leaves the device unless you send it somewhere NO CATCH There are no ads, no subscriptions, no locked features and no account to create. There's a tip jar in Settings if you'd like to buy me a coffee β€” it unlocks nothing, because there's nothing to unlock. Built by one person who wanted a lifting log that didn't steal my data.
