Quiet Lift
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most workout apps make you build a profile, pick a plan, and tap through five screens before you can log a single set. Quiet Lift skips all of that. Open it, and you're already logging your workout. TRACK YOUR SESSION Start a session and the timer starts itself. Add an exercise, log your weight and reps, and mark each set done with a single tap. Your total volume and completed sets update live, so you always know exactly where you stand mid workout, without doing any math yourself. BUILD YOUR HISTORY Every session you finish gets saved automatically. Come back tomorrow, next week, or next month, and your full history is right there. Browse by day, see your total volume and duration at a glance, and never wonder what you did last Tuesday again. WATCH YOUR PROGRESS This is where Quiet Lift actually gets exciting. Total workouts, total volume, your current streak, a six week trend of how hard you've been training, and a running list of personal records for every lift you track. Numbers that update the moment you finish a set, built from what you actually did, not averages or guesses. BUILT FOR SPEED, NOT SIGN-UPS No account. No password to remember. No onboarding quiz. No subscription. Open the app on day one and it works exactly the same as it does a year later. Every rep you log stays on your phone in local storage, and nothing is ever uploaded, shared, or sold, because there's no server for it to go to. WORKS ANYWHERE, EVEN NOWHERE Basement gym with no signal? Airplane mode? Doesn't matter. Quiet Lift never needed the internet in the first place, so it works exactly the same everywhere you train. If you've ever deleted a fitness app because it felt like more work than the workout itself, this is the one built to fix that. Download it, open it, and start your first set. That's the whole onboarding process.

No AI. No paywall. No in-app purchases. No subscription. No account. No ads. Nothing leaving your phone. Hank is a strength log. You open it, write down what you lifted, and close it. That is the whole product. Every other tracker now wants to be your coach — generating plans you did not ask for, guessing at your recovery, and charging you monthly for a chatbot in a tracksuit. Hank does none of that. It is a notebook that does the arithmetic. LOGGING • Sets, reps and weight in the fewest taps the job allows • Last session's numbers on the same screen you are logging into • Bodyweight sets • Kilograms or pounds • Edit or delete any set at any time, including in finished workouts • Repeat your last set with one tap PLANNING • Training plans, each holding as many templates as you want • Templates with target sets, reps and weight per exercise • 150+ movements, tagged by muscle group • Search that understands how lifters type: "pull ups", "db press", "pull back", a typo — it finds the movement you meant • Add your own movements • Save a finished workout back out as a template APPLE WATCH • Start a workout from a template with no phone nearby • The full movement library on your wrist • Digital Crown for reps and weight, so the only tap is "log set" — and it fits one screen on every watch size, no scrolling • The watch follows the phone: log a set on your iPhone and your wrist is already on that exercise • Live heart rate and elapsed time • Everything syncs when your phone comes back PROGRESS • Weight and volume progression, movement by movement • Personal records, including volume PRs • Muscle balance — sets per week, per muscle group, and what you keep skipping • Workout frequency and streaks • Typical rest between sets, measured from your own logs • A calendar of everything you have trained YOUR DATA • Stored on your device in a local database • No server, no account, no analytics SDK — nothing is collected, because there is nowhere to send it • Export all of it to CSV or JSON whenever you like • Apple Health sync is optional and off until you turn it on Free. All of it. There is no paid tier to upgrade to, because there is no paid tier.
