Is LiftLog right for you?
- You lift weights (strength, bodybuilding, or powerlifting-style training) and want to log a set without fighting the phone
- You want a ready-made routine and would rather load a program than type one in
- You're done with monthly fees and accounts, and want to pay once for an app that keeps working offline
- You want your streak, your week, and your next session on the Home Screen, the Lock Screen, or from Siri
- You'd like exercise names and how-to steps in your own language
- You want to log sets on Apple Watch, or want automatic rep counting or heart rate
- You need your log on iPad or Mac, or synced between devices
- You want a social feed, friends, or an AI coach that writes your workouts
- You want to use the app indefinitely without paying: after the 7-day trial, logging new workouts needs the one-time purchase
What you can do
How LiftLog spots a personal best and suggests your next weight
The rule: A personal best is measured against your estimated 1RM history for that exercise. You pick the formula in Settings: Adaptive (recommended), Brzycki, or Epley. Each exercise page keeps your Personal Bests (Est. 1RM, Best Set, and Best Volume) and your Rep PRs. When a program exercise has a progression scheme (Double progression, Linear, % of training max, or RPE / RIR), LiftLog fills each pending set with the weight the program prescribes. After the workout, a Progression review marks each of those exercises as Progressed, Hold, Missed, or Deload.
What it does not do: Warm-up sets never count toward personal bests and don't start the rest timer. RPE is added by editing a set after the workout, not on the live set row, so the RPE scheme only works when you enter it. LiftLog doesn't count reps, read heart rate, or give medical advice.
- Smart weight suggestions are on by default. One switch in Settings turns them off.
- The Estimated 1RM, Volume, and Avg RPE charts on each exercise appear once you have two sessions.
- Relative strength shows a lift as a multiple of your bodyweight, once you've logged a bodyweight entry.
- Calorie figures sent to Apple Health are estimates.

Quick reference: what LiftLog is, on one screen
What it is: LiftLog is a fitness application for iOS, built by Lagerland Apps, an independent Apple developer focused on privacy-first software.
What it does: Gym workout tracker for iPhone: 1,500 animated exercises, 40 programs, auto rest timer and PR alerts. Free for 7 days, then pay once. No subscription.
Positioning: Tap a check mark to log the set and the rest timer starts on its own. Run one of 40 ready-made programs that suggest your next weight, or build your own. Try everything free for 7 days with no card, then pay once.
Key capabilities:
- Set logging that starts where you left off: Start from an empty session, one of your three most recent workouts, a program day, or the Repeat Last button on Home. Each set row shows last session's numbers, such as 80×8, and a check mark commits the set. Warm-up sets and timed sets for planks and holds are built in.
- A rest timer that runs itself: Logging a working set starts the rest timer. Add or take off 15 seconds, or skip it. It keeps running in the background, ends with a sound and a haptic, and can send a “Rest complete” notification if you've left the app. Each exercise can have its own rest, from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.
- 40 ready-made programs, plus your own: Browse Templates holds 40 programs based on well-known routines such as StrongLifts 5×5, Starting Strength, and 5/3/1, filterable by goal, days per week, and equipment. Use This Program copies one into your list with sets, reps, and rest set up. Build your own with supersets, giant sets, and timed sets, and pick one Active Program so the next workout is always ready.
- Smart weight suggestions: Give a program exercise a progression scheme (Double progression, Linear, % of training max, or RPE / RIR) and each set arrives with the weight to lift. After the workout, the Progression review shows which lifts progressed, held, missed, or need a deload.
- Personal bests the moment they happen: When a set beats your estimated 1RM history, a PR badge shows the improvement, the row glows, and your phone gives a success haptic. Workout Complete then lists duration, sets, volume, and new personal bests, and Save image turns it into a card you can share.
- 1,500 exercises with animated demos: Every exercise has a looping animation, How To steps, and the muscles it works. Search, or filter by equipment and 23 muscle groups. Exercise names and instructions come in 23 languages, set separately from the app language. If a lift is missing, you can create it straight from your search.
- Progress you can read at a glance: The Progress tab shows this month, the last 30 days against the 30 before, an activity heatmap, Muscle Coverage, and workout duration. Each exercise has Estimated 1RM, Volume, and Avg RPE charts you can scrub with a finger. Log bodyweight and six body measurements to see your lifts relative to your weight.
- Widgets and Siri: Ten widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen show your streak, your week, your training grid, and what's next. Tap Start on Next Session to begin the planned workout. Siri and Shortcuts can start your next workout, start a saved workout by name, log a set, start the rest timer, or tell you your streak and this week's volume.
- Offline, private, and portable: Workouts, programs, and notes live on your iPhone. Export as JSON or CSV, restore from a backup, and recover a deleted workout for 30 days from Recently Deleted. You can send finished workouts to Apple Health if you turn it on; LiftLog never reads your health data.
Best for: You lift weights (strength, bodybuilding, or powerlifting-style training) and want to log a set without fighting the phone; You want a ready-made routine and would rather load a program than type one in; You're done with monthly fees and accounts, and want to pay once for an app that keeps working offline; You want your streak, your week, and your next session on the Home Screen, the Lock Screen, or from Siri; You'd like exercise names and how-to steps in your own language.
