This application embodies a philosophy of minimalist strength tracking, designed for athletes who prioritize clarity and essential data over feature-rich complexity. The interface is stripped down to its functional core, presenting information through a clean, type-driven design with a limited color palette, focusing the user's attention solely on what drives progress: load, volume, and recovery.
The central navigation is built around four foundational pillars, accessible through persistent bottom tabs. The primary view, labeled DIAL, serves as the daily command center. Its design is intentionally stark and direct. At the top, a horizontal slider labeled "FRESH" to "FRYED" allows for a quick, intuitive self-assessment of daily readiness—a manual, honest input that sets the tone. Below, the day's status is stated plainly: "TODAY" with a "NO PRIORITY SET," and a simple "READINESS" indicator reading "GOOD." This lack of automated complexity is a feature, not a bug; it puts the onus of judgment on the athlete. The main action is a prominent START button, initiating a logging session. Secondary actions include + QUICK LOG for rapid entry and HISTORY for review, establishing a workflow centered on immediate, frictionless data capture.
Once data is entered, the PROGRESS tab transforms it into insight. This screen is dedicated to the single most important metric for a strength athlete: the estimated one-rep maximum (1RM). It presents this through a minimalist, four-icon header (SQ, BP, DL, PR) representing the core barbell lifts. The main display area is reserved for a clean line graph or data summary. In its initial state, it frankly communicates "ESTIMATED 1RM - INSUFFICIENT DATA" and prompts the user to "Log some sets to see your progress." This direct feedback loop incentivizes consistent logging, promising the user that their effort will materialize as a tangible, visual trend line—a straightforward representation of strength gains over time, free from distracting charts or superfluous analytics.
The LEDGER introduces the critical concept of weekly accounting, shifting focus from single sessions to systemic management. Titled "THE LEDGER," it frames training as a balance sheet. It provides a clear summary for the current week, prominently displaying WEEKLY VOLUME in a tangible unit—tons—emphasizing the sheer mechanical work performed. A breakdown of VOLUME BY LIFT (Squat, Bench, Deadlift, Press) follows, allowing the athlete to see if their programming is balanced. Alongside volume, it tracks the week-over-week change in estimated 1RM for each lift, creating a direct link between workload and outcome. Synthesizing this data is the FATIGUE SCORE, a calculated metric (likely based on volume and perceived exertion) presented with a simple "LOW," "MEDIUM," or "HIGH" label and corresponding color. This score is the app's primary biofeedback mechanism, guiding decisions on whether to push forward or pull back.
To provide structure without rigidity, the TEMPLATES tab offers a library of proven training programs. These aren't interactive calendars but selectable frameworks. Each template, like "5/3/1" or "Starting Strength," is presented with a brief description and, crucially, its STRUCTURE—a concise list of training days and their focus (e.g., "Squat Intensity," "Bench Accessory"). A clear [APPLY TEMPLATE] button allows the user to import this structure, which presumably populates the DIAL view with daily priorities for the coming weeks. This system provides the benefits of periodized programming without the complexity of manual calendar management, enabling the athlete to follow a intelligent plan while retaining the app's signature simplicity in daily execution.
