Joti
Read full descriptionHide full description
A workout tracker built for the gym, with a boxing trainer built in. Log every set, rep and weight, use your real equipment and plate calculator, and follow voice‑guided shadow‑boxing rounds when you want to train striking. Free for your first month, no purchase required. TRACK YOUR GYM WORKOUTS Log sets, reps, weight, and notes for every exercise, including warmup, drop, and failure sets. See last time's numbers before you lift so every set has a target, with automatic personal‑best detection. Plan and log supersets, and let auto‑progression raise your weight as you hit your targets, using only the plates and equipment you actually own. Rest between sets can wait until your heart rate recovers, instead of a fixed clock. Choose from 800+ built‑in exercises or create your own. See your strength and consistency build over time with your full training history, muscle radar, and heatmap charts. REAL EQUIPMENT, REAL NUMBERS Add your actual barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, and plates. Joti remembers what you have and calculates true loadable weight, and the built‑in plate calculator shows exactly what goes on the bar. WORKOUT TEMPLATES Create reusable templates, organise them into folders, and start a session with one tap. No more rebuilding your routine every time. ASK JOTI: AI EXERCISE AND WORKOUT SEARCH Describe what you want in plain English and Joti's AI finds matching exercises and workouts, or suggests new ones matched to your equipment. Add a suggestion to your library in one tap, or ask questions about your own progress. GUIDED ROUNDS Train striking with live, voice‑guided rounds. Joti calls out punches, kicks, elbows, knees, and footwork across timed rounds so you can shadow‑box along, with no partner or coach needed. Go fully randomised for combinations you can't predict, start from a pre‑built template, or define exactly what you want, round by round. Choose your style (Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, or Traditional Martial Arts), set your pace, and let the app keep time while you move. BUILD YOUR OWN SETUP Create custom exercises and equipment that match your gym or home setup, and search by workout type to find the session you're after. CARDIO AND OTHER TRAINING Track cardio and flexibility workouts alongside your lifting. Log runs, rides, swims, classes, and sports as External Activities so every session still lands on your calendar, streak, and history. Start an ad‑hoc session any time with nothing planned, and save it as a workout afterwards. TRAIN WITH YOUR HEALTH DATA Connect Apple Health to read your step count and heart rate, track your daily step goal, and get a more accurate estimate of energy expenditure for every session. See live heart rate on screen while you train. APPLE WATCH Check your workout at a glance from your wrist. TRACK YOUR BODY Log body measurements and capture before‑and‑after photos, then compare them side‑by‑side or with a wipe slider. Sync weight and body fat percentage with Apple Health so everything stays in one place. STAY CONSISTENT Get reminders for planned workouts, see your full exercise list before and during a session, and sign up in seconds with Sign in with Apple. Your email verifies automatically, no code needed. AI‑POWERED INSIGHTS Get personalised insights into your training patterns, progress trends, and areas to focus on next, shaped by how you're feeling: a quick pre‑workout check‑in, post‑workout effort rating, and recent sleep all feed into each insight. CONNECT YOUR FAVOURITE AI ASSISTANT Sign in to Joti from Claude, ChatGPT, or other compatible AI tools and let them work with your real training data: pull your stats and history, build or duplicate a workout, and manage your training calendar through natural conversation. Every AI‑made change is logged, badged, and one‑tap undoable. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
