Stop guessing your next weight. SetMark tracks every set you log and tells you exactly what to lift next — no spreadsheets, no math, no forgetting where you left off. Built for lifters who are serious about progressive overload, SetMark uses double-progression logic to automatically calculate your next working weight and rep target based on your actual performance. When your progress stalls, SetMark catches it and applies a smart deload automatically — so you keep making gains without guessing when to back off. **Features:** • Automatic progressive overload calculations for every exercise • Smart stall detection with automatic deload weeks • Planned mesocycle deloads to keep your training sustainable • Custom workout splits with full weekday scheduling • Mid-workout exercise substitution that tracks its own progression history • A catalog of 100+ exercises across barbell, dumbbell, machine, and bodyweight movements • Simple, distraction-free set logging — built for the gym, not the couch • 100% local storage — your data stays on your device, always Whether you're following a push/pull/legs split, an upper/lower routine, or a fully custom program, SetMark adapts to how you train and keeps your progression on track week after week. SetMark offers a 14-day free trial with full access to every feature. After your trial, core logging and progression stay free forever — upgrading unlocks Progress analytics, multiple saved splits, and mid-workout exercise substitution.

UpRep is your gym and workout tracker for strength training, workout plans and measurable progress. Choose your workout from the calendar, complete your sets and let UpRep calculate your next target for weight and reps. Within your chosen rep range, UpRep increases your reps first. Once you reach the upper limit, your selected weight increment is added and the rep target starts again at the lower end of your range. This helps you apply progressive overload without constantly calculating your next target during your workout.
