Progress

Three things, and no badges.

Proof is what makes people keep going, so it gets its own tab: Strength, Body and Photos. What it does not have is a points system, or an achievement for opening the app.

Strength

One line per lift.

An estimated one-rep max for each lift you train, worked out from the sets you logged, twelve weeks wide, with the change over that time. Pick a lift from the row along the top.

Deload weeks are marked on the chart, so a planned dip reads as the plan working rather than you going backwards.

It is drawn only from what you logged, so it cannot flatter you — and it is a trend to read, not a weight to attempt.

Body

Numbers that move when the scale does not.

Your weight, as a trend

From the weekly check-in, which asks one thing: what you weigh. It also drives your energy, protein and water targets, so keeping it current is worth something.

Four measurements

Waist, chest, upper arm and thigh, in centimetres, whenever you like. Every reading is kept, so the change shows. A tape once a month is enough, and nothing nags you for it.

Read together

Your weight and a lift are read side by side. Drifting down while your squat goes up is the combination you want, and the tab tells you so.

Photos

The strongest proof, and the most private.

Take a photo or pick one from your gallery, then compare any two side by side — how many days apart they are, and how your weight moved between them. In practice this convinces people of their own progress far more than a chart.

Which is exactly why it is handled carefully: photos are stored on your phone and never uploaded. Not to our servers, not to anybody’s. The database the app syncs to has no table for them, and the sync skips them entirely — signing in to back up changes nothing about that.

The flip side of that promise: if you delete the app, the photos go with it, and we cannot recover them because we never had them.

On this phone only

A privacy liability and a storage bill removed at once, and one fewer thing to be breached.

Twelve weeks

It takes a season to look like something.

A week is enough to judge the app. Judging the training takes longer — the strength chart is twelve weeks wide for a reason.
