A minimalistic iOS App to track gym workouts.

Started as a learning project to get back into Swift and iOS app development, I continued since I was unhappy with existing gym tracking apps. Now I have a stable MVP state, that will be tested with friends soon.

Design Goals

I aligned my development of the app around building a streamlined app, and doing the core features well. It should leverage the platform’s features and usability.

Features of MVP

  • Track a workout in the gym
  • Preset the repetitions and weight from the last exercise execution to improve
  • Create templates to simplify adding exercises to a current workout
  • Show the weight and repetition history of every exercise
  • Graph the progress to see improvements in strength over time
  • Live Activities Widget during workout (see Post: Add Live Activities Widget to iOS App)

Roadmap

  • Provide a companion or standalone Apple Watch application
  • Compile the iOS app for Mac and iPad with iCloud sync to show charts and workout history on larger devices
  • Include SharePlay to work out together with others locally or remotely
