Interesting; I was looking for a replacement for Strong for iOS just yesterday. Strong was a great app but the dev hasn't been keeping up-to-date with iOS features like live activities and such.

I found that there are loads of apps like this out there, with varying degrees of polish / paywalls. Don't get me wrong, this one doesn't look bad! But what I really want is a demonstrated long-term commitment to the app.

If I can give one piece of feedback, the LLM copy on this website doesn't inspire confidence. Like it mentions "Identical layout: kg always on the left, reps on the right." Is that really a feature? Or "Confetti, only when earned. Never as filler." -- idunno, that doesn't seem like it deserves a spot on the landing page to me.

Hevy existed before gen AI took the world by storm and it's still being actively maintained, highly recommend checking it out. It even lets you import your workouts from Strong.

I tried Hevy based on hacker news recommendations - but I feel like I want more of a steer on what activities I should be doing. Hevy just seems to give me the same set over and over in trainer mode.

You might enjoy GymBook. I bought their lifetime pro version and have used it for at least 4 years now.

No ads, data can be exported, tons of exercises to choose from, live activity on the lock screen, stats, timers, measurements and much more.

Was really worth it and they seem to still be updating the app.

Edit: lifetime subscription is only ~24€

Anyone know a good timer where I, for example, set it for 1 minute and start it and then every 1 minute it plays a short sound. And that's it. No interaction required with the phone until I want the timer to stop.

This is for rotating through a bunch of different stretches/exercises routine 1 minute per stretch

Every app I've tried is too complicated.

It would take about 2 minutes to code that up with an LLM, and not much longer to code it by hand. Building apps to scratch personal itches that would otherwise be infeasible is one of the best new capabilities that nearly everyone in the world has been recently granted.

Search for boxing timer.

This is kind of dumb but for any common interval length there is probably a YouTube video that's long enough for your workout. For example, 30 seconds and 1 minute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Bb4PfLvJE, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-AYC3_DbpY. Save the ones you need to a playlist and they should be pretty quick to access.

This UI looks shockingly similar to Macrofactor Workouts which I use and can highly recommend.
