Strongest is the workout tracker for people who actually love the gym. Log every set in seconds, then watch months of hard work turn into charts, ranks, and personal bests you can feel proud of. No bloat. No social feed. No subscription nag. Just you versus your last workout. TRACK WORKOUTS IN SECONDS • Start a workout and add exercises on the fly—no rigid templates • Smart set prefill: every new set starts from last time's weight and reps, so you're editing, not typing from scratch • Weight, bodyweight, and cardio exercises each get the right fields—reps, added/assisted weight, distance, and a built-in stopwatch • Drop sets and supersets with a tap • A rest timer that keeps counting even when your phone is locked, and buzzes you when it's time for the next set SEE YOUR TRUE STRENGTH LEVEL • Standards-based strength ranks from Beginner to Grandmaster, calculated from your best lifts relative to your bodyweight • A completely separate calisthenics rank for pull-ups, dips, and more—your barbell numbers and your bodyweight skills each get their own ladder • Clear "progress to next level" so you always know what's next • Enter a real 1-rep max, or let Strongest estimate it from your logged sets VISUALIZE EVERYTHING • A workout overview that climbs like an XP bar—your all-time volume never goes down on a rest day • Volume, reps, sets, time, distance, and heaviest-set graphs across week, month, or all-time • Build custom graphs for any single exercise • A full-body muscle heat map that shows exactly what you've been training—and what you've been neglecting • Antagonist-balance and per-muscle insights so you can fix weak points CELEBRATE PROGRESS • Automatic personal bests for every exercise, grouped by muscle • Weekly challenges that refresh on their own • A workout summary after every session showing PRs and the muscles you hit YOURS, EVERYWHERE • Offline-first: log anywhere, no signal required • Your data syncs securely to your private account • Switch between pounds and kilograms, light and dark themes, English and Spanish • Import and export your full history as CSV—your data is always yours Strongest is built to make the work visible. Every rep counts toward something you can see. Download it, log one workout, and watch the line start to climb.
