Track your workout from the iPhone Lock Screen

Simple utility apps like this are definitely going to be under threat by AI-driven app creation. Unsatisfied with the free options out there, I've been using Claude to build my own workout tracker app with nearly the exact same Live Activity functionality in addition to the other features most apps lock up behind IAP subscriptions. Within a week I had the iOS and macOS apps up and running with CloudKit sync, analytics, custom routines, etc. I'd never made an app before, didn't know Swift/SwiftUI, and barely had to use Xcode.

Anyone know a good timer where I, for example, set it for 1 minute and start it and then every 1 minute it plays a short sound. And that's it. No interaction required with the phone until I want the timer to stop.

This is for rotating through a bunch of different stretches/exercises routine 1 minute per stretch

Every app I've tried is too complicated.

This UI looks shockingly similar to Macrofactor Workouts which I use and can highly recommend.

This is something I really have wanted from a lifting app.

One thing I don't think is here, but would really love: be able to describe a workout I did today with my trainer so I can replicate it perfectly in 3 days at the gym by myself:

"bench press, drop sets, with a 30 second hold before each set, starting at 100lb and decreasing 10lb each set, reps starting at 20 and dropping to 16, 14, 12, and 10 for a total of 5 sets" either thru voice (preferably) or text and have the app build the workout.

Manually building these things really sucks in most apps, even if there's a good UI. My trainer has about 8 variations and combinations of these we might do on any particular day and they're always evolving and changing and I don't really have time to capture it in the moment.

i've moved over to https://www.liftosaur.com/ and its MCP server. It has been so nice to use. Its unfortunately a PWA/Ionic app (dev has a native one coming) but i am more than happy to overlook that with the other features available in it. Dude even wrote his own little DSL for writing programs you can use.

Interesting; I was looking for a replacement for Strong for iOS just yesterday. Strong was a great app but the dev hasn't been keeping up-to-date with iOS features like live activities and such.

I found that there are loads of apps like this out there, with varying degrees of polish / paywalls. Don't get me wrong, this one doesn't look bad! But what I really want is a demonstrated long-term commitment to the app.

If I can give one piece of feedback, the LLM copy on this website doesn't inspire confidence. Like it mentions "Identical layout: kg always on the left, reps on the right." Is that really a feature? Or "Confetti, only when earned. Never as filler." -- idunno, that doesn't seem like it deserves a spot on the landing page to me.
