REST TIMER Automatically begin a rest countdown after completing a set. On supported devices, Live Activities keep your timer visible on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island—even when FirstSet is not open.

Exercise within your abilities and stop if you experience pain.

Gym Logbook is a fast, offline-first training log built for the gym floor — large controls, few taps, and sets that never get locked behind “done.” Log by tap, by voice with Siri, or from Apple Watch.
