Is LiftLog right for you?

You'll love LiftLog if…
  • 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
LiftLog may not be for you if…
  • 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

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.

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.

Built for lifters who already know what they're running

LiftLog uses the terms programmed training already uses: double and linear progression, training max, RPE, supersets, and deloads.

FAQ

What is LiftLog?
LiftLog is a gym workout tracker for iPhone. You log weight and reps on a docked keypad, each set is filled in from your last session, and the rest timer starts when you check a set off. It includes 1,500 exercises with animated demos, 40 ready-made programs that can suggest your next weight, personal best alerts, progress charts, 10 widgets, and Siri actions. It is free for 7 days with no card, then a one-time purchase from $9.99 to $39.99.
How much does LiftLog cost, and is there a subscription?
There is no subscription. LiftLog is free for 7 days with no card required. After that you buy it once at the tier you choose: $9.99 (Fair), $19.99 (Good), $29.99 (Generous), or $39.99 (Patron). Every tier unlocks the same app, nothing renews, future updates are included, and Family Sharing is on, so one purchase covers your family group.
What happens when the 7-day trial ends?
If you don't buy, you keep read access. Your history, workout details, Progress charts, the exercise library, the Plate Calculator, widgets, Siri read-outs, data export and import, and Recently Deleted all stay free, and a workout already in progress can be finished. Starting new workouts, editing programs, creating custom exercises, editing logged sets, and logging bodyweight need the one-time purchase.
Why are there four prices for the same app?
LiftLog lets you pay what feels fair. All four tiers unlock exactly the same app; the higher amounts help fund its development. The launch journal post explains the thinking.
How is LiftLog different from GymLogger X?
Both are strength trackers from Lagerland Apps. LiftLog runs on iPhone only and is a one-time purchase after a 7-day trial, with 40 ready-made programs, smart weight suggestions, and 10 widgets. GymLogger X is a separate app with its own Apple Watch app. Pick GymLogger X if you want to log sets from your wrist; its page lists its features and prices.
Does LiftLog work with Apple Watch?
No. LiftLog runs on iPhone only and has no Apple Watch app. It can save finished workouts to Apple Health so they count toward your Activity rings, if you turn that on.
What programs does LiftLog include?
Browse Templates holds 40 programs based on well-known routines such as StrongLifts 5×5, Starting Strength, Greyskull LP, Wendler 5/3/1, Texas Method, GZCLP, nSuns 531 LP, PHUL, PHAT, and German Volume Training. Twenty focus on strength, 17 on hypertrophy, and 3 are general; 10 are for beginners, 22 intermediate, and 8 advanced. Each loads with sets, reps, and rest in place, and you can build your own. The program names belong to their owners, who don't endorse LiftLog.
Can LiftLog suggest the weight for my next session?
Yes. Give a program exercise a progression scheme (Double progression, Linear, % of training max, or RPE / RIR) and LiftLog fills each pending set with the weight the program prescribes. After the workout, a Progression review marks each exercise as Progressed, Hold, Missed, or Deload. Smart weight suggestions are on by default and can be turned off in Settings.
Does LiftLog track personal records and 1RM?
Yes. A PR badge with the improvement appears the moment a set beats your estimated 1RM history. Each exercise page keeps your Personal Bests (Est. 1RM, Best Set, and Best Volume) and Rep PRs, with Estimated 1RM, Volume, and Avg RPE charts. You choose the 1RM formula in Settings: Adaptive (recommended), Brzycki, or Epley. Warm-up sets never count.
Does LiftLog support RPE?
Yes, as an option. You add an RPE from 1 to 10 by editing a set after the workout; there is no RPE field on the live set row. Each exercise then gets an average-RPE chart, and exercises on the RPE / RIR progression scheme use what you enter.
Does LiftLog need an account or an internet connection?
No. LiftLog needs no account, and every feature works offline, including all 1,500 exercise animations. The internet is used only to buy, restore a purchase, or open a link. Your workouts stay on your iPhone, and Lagerland Apps never receives them.
Does LiftLog sync with iCloud? How do I move to a new iPhone?
There is no iCloud or cross-device sync. To move your history, export a JSON backup in Settings and import it on the new iPhone. You can also export a CSV file at any time.
Can I import workouts from Strong, Hevy, or another tracker?
No. LiftLog imports only its own JSON backup. You can export your full history from LiftLog as JSON or CSV whenever you want.
Is there a plate calculator?
Yes. Open the Plate Calculator from the workout toolbar or from Settings, enter a target weight, and it shows which plates go on each side of the bar and the total. It notes when the bar alone is enough or when the weight can't be loaded exactly. It stays available after the trial.
Can I use Siri with LiftLog?
Yes. Say “Start my next workout with LiftLog”, or start a saved workout by name. During a workout, Siri can log the set you're on and start your rest timer. You can also ask for your training streak or this week's volume without opening the app. All six actions are in the Shortcuts app too.
Which languages does LiftLog support?
The app interface is translated into many languages, including German, French, Spanish, Japanese, and Arabic. Exercise names and instructions are available in 23 languages, and you can choose the exercise language separately from the app language.
How current is the information on this page?
We update this page with each App Store release; the dates are in the page footer. The four one-time tiers ($9.99 / $19.99 / $29.99 / $39.99) and the 7-day trial without a card match the App Store. If the App Store ever shows different prices, the App Store is canonical.
