THE Workout Tracker App vs GymLoop

Forge is a powerful, easy-to-use workout tracker built to help you train with purpose, stay consistent, and see the progress you’re earning. Version 2.1 represents a complete transformation of the app. Forge now features a bold new design, improved workout planning, secure cloud syncing, expanded exercise tracking, and a smoother experience across iPhone and iPad. BUILD YOUR WORKOUT Choose from the exercise library, search for a specific movement, or add your own custom exercises. Forge supports strength training, body-weight workouts, functional fitness, and cardio activities. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Log weight, repetitions, and sets for strength exercises, or record time and distance for cardio workouts. Your completed sessions are saved to your history, where they can be reviewed, edited, or deleted. CREATE A TRAINING PLAN Build a schedule around your goals and availability. Select your training days, choose the number of weeks, identify whether you have access to gym equipment, and either select exercises yourself or let Forge generate a plan for you. SEE YOUR MOMENTUM The redesigned Home screen keeps your current progress front and center. Track weekly sessions, completed sets, training volume, streaks, and upcoming workouts without digging through complicated menus. KEEP YOUR DATA SAFE Local backups are available to every user. Optional Forge Sync and Forge Pro upgrades add encrypted cloud syncing through Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or Dropbox. Cloud backups are encrypted on your device before being uploaded. Your encryption key remains under your control, and a separate recovery code helps you restore access when moving to a new device. CHOOSE THE EXPERIENCE THAT FITS YOU • Forge Free includes the complete workout-tracking experience with advertising and local backup. • Forge Sync adds encrypted cloud syncing while keeping advertising. • Forge Pro unlocks all current premium features, cloud syncing, and an ad-free experience. All upgrades are one-time purchases—not subscriptions.

GymLoop is a gym tracker built around one idea: your training runs on a rotation, not a calendar. Define your split once — Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, or anything custom — and GymLoop always knows what's next. Skip three days? It still serves the right day. Gone longer? It offers a gentle full-body reset, then hands control back to your cycle. THE WORKOUT LOOP • One big Start button — today's day and exercises, ready to go • Set → rest → set: timers cycle automatically with a glanceable progress ring • Log reps and weight in two taps; last-time weights prefill • Rest alerts fire even with the screen locked • Prefer phone-in-pocket? Track just your gym time and back-fill exercises later • Starter routines built in — Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, PPL×2, Arnold, Full Body — or build your own • Supersets: pair exercises and GymLoop bounces between them before the rest • Plate calculator: tap a weight and see what to load on each side • Warm-up hints: a bar-to-working-weight ramp on heavy first sets • A quiet progression coach: hit your target reps and next session prefills a small increase • Share a session card when you hit something worth showing APPLE WATCH (PRO) • Run whole sessions from your wrist — phone optional • Today's exercises, set/rest timers, rep and weight logging, haptic when rest ends • Real heart rate and calories, saved to Apple Health from the watch • Start on the phone and the watch records alongside, automatically STAY ON THE HOOK (GENTLY) • Streaks and a GitHub-style training heatmap • A weekly recap every Monday: sessions, volume, new top sets (Pro) • A soft reminder at your usual gym time — never a nag • Home Screen widgets that answer one question: "what do I do next?" • Live Activity with the active set and rest countdown BODY TRACKING, PRIVATE • Bodyweight, waist, biceps + custom measurements • Progress photos by pose, compared side-by-side — stored only on your device and your private iCloud • BMI and goal tracking TRENDS (PRO) • Per-exercise charts: top set, estimated 1RM, volume • Measurement trend lines • Apple Health import for workouts and bodyweight YOUR DATA IS YOURS Everything lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud. No account, no third-party servers, no analytics. We never see your data. Your progress photos never leave your device and your private iCloud. No one can see them — not a server, not us. Available in English, German, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. GymLoop Pro (optional): Trends, photo studio, custom measurements, Health import, the Apple Watch app, and lock-screen widgets — $2.99/month, $19.99/year with a 7-day free trial, or $49.99 lifetime.
