Plato vs Only Macros

Free. No ads. No pop-ups. No paywalls. No BS. Plato is a workout tracker for lifting and cardio, and that's all it is. Open it, log your sets, see your progress, get back to training. Nothing will ever pop up asking you to rate the app, upgrade, start a trial or turn on notifications. Not on your first workout, not on your five hundredth. WHAT YOU WON'T FIND • Ads • Rate-us prompts, upgrade screens or "come back" nags • Notifications. Plato doesn't send any • Subscriptions or in-app purchases. Every feature is free • Tracking. Your workouts are never sold or used for ads • A sign-up wall. The whole app works without an account LOG LIFTS FAST • 600 built-in exercises — barbell staples, machines, cables, bands, calisthenics, sports and neck work — each with a guide to doing it right, and one tap to find a video demo • A keypad built for the gym: enter weight and reps, then jump to the next field in one tap • Copy your previous set in one tap • Built-in timers for planks, dead hangs and other timed sets • An optional rest timer between sets, from 30 seconds to 5 minutes • Works with no signal: log a whole session in a dead zone and it syncs when you're back online TRAIN SMARTER • Every lift shows your best set, your estimated one-rep max and a chart of where it's heading • A muscle map of what you've hit this week, and what you've skipped • Streaks, total volume, sets and time on the Stats tab • Your fastest mile, 5K and 10K, and your distance week by week • Full workout history, a tap away CARDIO • Runs, walks, hikes, rides, swims, rows, ellipticals and stair sessions • On Apple Watch: live heart rate and calories, plus distance and pace on runs, walks, hikes, rides and swims, and mile or kilometer splits on runs, walks, hikes and rides • No watch? Runs, walks and hikes get their distance, pace and splits from your iPhone's step counter • Sessions your watch tracks save to Apple Health, so they count toward your rings APPLE WATCH • Log the workout in progress from your wrist: the next set's weight and reps are ready, the Digital Crown adjusts them, and one tap logs it • The rest countdown, right on your wrist • Start a template from the watch • Put Plato on your watch face LIVE ACTIVITY • Your workout lives on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a running clock, your set count and the rest countdown START WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT • No sign-up, no email, nothing to fill in • Everything stays on your phone until you decide otherwise • Create an account later and everything you've logged comes with you PLAN YOUR TRAINING • Reusable workout templates, started in one tap • A weekly split: a template for each day, already picked when you tap Start workout • Plan workouts ahead on the calendar BODY WEIGHT • Log weigh-ins and watch the trend • Pull-ups, dips and other bodyweight moves count at what you weighed that day, so a new weigh-in never rewrites what you've already lifted • Pounds or kilos, your call MAKE IT YOURS • Light or dark, or follow your phone • Seven accent colors, and your home screen icon changes to match YOUR DATA • Sign in with Apple, Google or email to sync across devices • Delete your account and all your data anytime, right from the app Plato is for training. Everything else got cut.

Most macro trackers make you search a food database, sit through ads and create an account before you can log a single meal. Only Macros doesn't. Type your carbs, protein and fat. Tap add. Your totals and calories update instantly. That's the point: logging fast enough that you actually keep doing it, every meal, every day. The macros you don't log are the ones you can't adjust. SCAN A LABEL Point your camera at a nutrition facts label. Only Macros reads the carbs, protein and fat, multiplies them by however many servings you had, and adds them to today — or to any day you forgot. The label is read on your phone, and the photo is never kept. SAVED FOODS Keep the foods you eat every week. Pick one under the macro fields, set the servings, tap add. Your usual breakfast takes two taps. YOUR HISTORY AT A GLANCE A calendar shows every day's macros and calories, with your monthly average. Missed a day or got one wrong? Fill it in or fix it later. RUNNER FUELING Training for a race? Get daily calorie and macro targets that move with your mileage — more carbs on long-run and workout days — built on published sports-nutrition research. Connect Apple Health and each day fills in with how far you actually ran, from Apple Watch or any app that saves runs to Health; or scroll to the miles yourself. It won't set a calorie deficit when there are warning signs of under-fuelling. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. No subscription. The app has no server to send anything to: your log never leaves your phone, and its App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected." Built for people who already know their numbers — lifters, runners, flexible dieters, and anyone following macros from a coach.
