Features
Training
A plan that progresses
Four stages, each with its own milestones and a lighter deload week. After the last stage, the plan loops back to a stage you choose, or repeats the last one.
Bring your own plan
Paste a plan as plain text. The app checks it, explains what it read, lets you choose where it goes and previews the change before applying it, with Undo and full version history.
Clear progression
“Level up” when every set hits the top of the rep range. Weights never change on their own.
Rest timer
Starts when you log a set, with longer rests for heavy lifts. Your rest timer is on your lock screen, where you can log a set or skip rest without unlocking.
In the gym
A plate calculator, one-tap exercise swaps when a machine is taken, and a pain flag that suggests a safer alternative.
Plain English
Every training term has a help icon, and there's a full glossary.
Tracking
Log every session
Record workouts, sets, weights, repetitions and notes.
Weekly review
On your rest day, see sets per muscle, sessions done, personal records and what's ready to level up.
A streak that forgives life
A weekly target (5 of 6 by default). Holiday mode pauses the streak and your plan, and a welcome-back option eases you in after a break.
History
Tap any day for the full session, with personal records, swaps, notes and Apple Watch data.
Body progress
Keep body measurements and progress photos alongside your training.
Reads from Apple Health
With your permission, the app reads workouts, heart rate and active energy from Apple Health, usually recorded by your Apple Watch. It never writes to Health.
Reminders
Reminders are created on your device, so nothing about them is sent to us.
Privacy and data
Private by default
No accounts, no advertising and no analytics. Your training data stays on your iPhone.
Optional iCloud Sync
Turn on iCloud Sync to keep your data in your own private iCloud account.
Export your data
Export a backup file and choose where it is saved.

Questions
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. If you have one, the app can read your workouts, heart rate and active energy from Apple Health and show them next to your sessions.
Can I use my own programme?
Yes. Paste it in as plain text. The app checks it, shows you what it read and previews the change before applying it.
What if I miss a day?
The rotation continues.
