Metal

Free for 30 days, then own it $5. No subscriptions. No freemium bullshit

I built Metal because the exercise apps I previously relied upon devolved into bloated garbage with dead-eyed AI coaches and greedy subscription models. Metal is simple: open an exercise, see what you did last time, and do it again or maybe a little heavier.

Each set shows the weight and reps from your previous session. Tap to log a new set, long-press to adjust it, and that's pretty much all this thing does, aside from some handsome bar graphs and a zen rest timer.

Features

• Easy logging. Tap to mark it done. Long-press to fiddle with it on the fly.
• Don't forget. Every set box shows the weight and reps you did last time.
• Rest timer. Listen for the bell.
• Plate math. See which plates to load, including the 2.5s.
• Notes. Quickly add reminders and revelations to each exercise.
• Charts. See your progress (or lack thereof) over time.
• Works offline, saves to your iCloud. No servers and passwords.
• Monthly updates. I'm perpetually fiddling with this as I use it.
• Apple Health integration. Totally optional.

Privacy

Metal collects nothing and is interested in nothing. Your data lives on your phone and your iCloud. No accounts, analytics, ads, or third-party nonsense.

Health data (body weight, workouts) stays inside Apple's HealthKit and it's only read or written with your permission.
