SmartLifter

Built for serious lifters who want to get stronger and build muscle — not follow a machine's workout plan.
SmartLifter is a lifting tracker that does what other apps won't: it analyzes your training data and tells you what it actually means. When you're ready to add weight. When you've hit a plateau. When your body needs to recover. No guesswork, no fluff — just clear signals based on your own numbers.
No subscription. No account. No ads. Pay once, own it forever.
**Fast, focused set logging**
Log sets in under 5 seconds. Weight, reps, optional RPE — pre-filled from your last session so you're not hunting for numbers mid-set. Custom scroll wheels, no keyboard needed. Tag sets as warm-up, failure, drop set, or AMRAP — warm-ups are automatically excluded from your strength analysis.
90+ built-in exercises and 7 ready-made splits to start from:
- Push / Pull / Legs (PPL)
- Arnold Split
- Upper / Lower
- Bro Split
- PHUL
- Full Body
- Powerlifting
Each split is proven for building strength and muscle. You can also create your own.
Rest timer with per-exercise durations starts automatically after each set. Log from your Apple Watch between sets — weight, reps, and rest timer right on your wrist.
**Insights that make you stronger**
SmartLifter watches your data across sessions and tells you:
- When you've hit your target reps 3 sessions in a row — time to add weight.
- When your strength trend is flat despite consistent training — you've plateaued.
- When your training volume is outpacing your recovery — back off before you break down.
- Your estimated 1RM for every exercise, updated in real time as you train.
Your home screen shows your current training status at a glance — whether you're making progress, on track, recovering, or need to back off. No digging through charts to know where you stand.
When the app detects overreaching — volume up but strength flat — it recommends a deload. One tap activates deload mode and reduces weights across all exercises for 7 days. Train light, recover, come back stronger.
Muscle freshness tracking shows when each muscle group was last trained, so you always know what needs attention.
Set your training goal — strength, hypertrophy, or both — and every recommendation adapts. Stalling on bench? A strength-focused lifter gets "try heavier doubles." A hypertrophy lifter gets "add a set." The advice fits how you train.
All analysis runs on your device using exercise science and on-device AI. No internet required. No third-party servers. Your data only leaves your device if you choose to sync via your own iCloud.
No account to create. No social feed. No generated workouts. Just your training data, analyzed honestly. While other apps charge $5/month, SmartLifter is a single one-time purchase — and the free tier is generous enough to train with forever.
