About this app

Paper Gym is a workout notebook for the gym, in black and white. Write down your sets, reps and weights, tick them off with a rest timer running, and watch the numbers go up.

Open the app, log today's workout, close it. No account to create, no feed, no ads, nothing asking for your attention. Your workouts stay on your phone.

AT THE GYM
• Start a routine and tick each set as you finish it. The rest timer starts by itself and lets you know when it's time for the next set, even with the app closed.
• Reps and weights start where you left them last time, so you only change what's different today.
• Cardio and holds too: a run or a row with its minutes and distance, a plank that counts down, a pause when you need one.
• Add an exercise mid-workout, or make a new one on the spot.

OR WRITE IT UP AFTERWARDS
• Log a workout in a few taps, today or on another day, from a routine or from scratch, with a note wherever you want one.

SEE YOUR PROGRESS
• Records: beat your best and it's marked the moment you save.
• Every workout compared with the last one like it: volume, time and sets.
• A chart of your heaviest set for every exercise, a six-month consistency map, a weekly goal with its streak, goals for your lifts, and your body weight with its trend.

PLAN YOUR TRAINING
• Routines (up to ten on the free version) and blocks, and a calendar: plan a workout for a day and time, with a reminder.
• Nearly fifty common exercises with photos of the movement, and ready-made routines: full body, push / pull / legs, upper / lower, no equipment. Or make your own, with your own photos and notes.

PAPER GYM PRO: THE APP THINKS FOR YOU
Logging is free, and stays free. Pro adds:
• Progressive overload, worked out for you: what to try today on every exercise, your own rep range and weight step, and a warning when a lift stalls.
• Your estimated one-rep max (1RM) and strength for your body weight, several exercises on one chart, and volume.
• The muscle map: sets per muscle every week, drawn on the body, and push against pull.
• Next week's workouts suggested from your blocks, your routines and the days you train.
• A plate calculator and warm-up sets, unlimited routines, each routine in depth, and nine color themes.
Pro is a subscription (monthly, every three months, every six months or yearly, each with a 14-day free trial) or a one-time purchase that is yours for good.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no cloud sync, no ads. Your workouts are never uploaded. Export everything whenever you like: a backup with your photos that you can import again later, or a spreadsheet.

Works offline, so no signal is needed in the basement gym. Kilograms or pounds, light or dark, and a guided tour of every screen. In English, Spanish, Catalan, French and German.

Paper Gym: a calm place to write down what you lifted.

Looking for a gym log, a lifting tracker, a workout journal or a plain training notebook? That is what this is: a simple workout log and strength training log for the gym, with a rest timer, personal records, a workout planner with reminders, and progressive overload you can see. No coach, no feed to scroll.
