TrainNotes

A gym notebook that remembers

Log the set.
Keep the truth.

TrainNotes stays out of the way while you train, then turns every real result into useful history, progress and statistics.

During the workout

As direct as a paper notebook.

Start from a template or start empty. Previous performance, targets and the fields you actually need stay together—without turning every set into a form.

01

Start immediately

Templates keep regular sessions ready. Location can select the right machine Variant in the background without blocking the workout.

02

See the last result

Compare today with the same Exercise Variant, where machine loads are actually comparable.

03

Tap to complete

A planned set can be accepted with one tap. Edit only when the real result differs.

04

Progress on your terms

Choose load, rep, strict-target or manual progression. A poor day never silently becomes tomorrow’s target.

TrainNotes workout with previous results, editable set values, and completion controls
Fast set loggingPrevious results and today’s values stay side by side.

Built for lifting

The details serious training needs.

01

Exercises and Variants

A movement stays canonical while concrete machines and implementations keep their own comparable history and PRs.

→
02

Personal records

Weight, reps, rep-max, best-set volume and session volume are detected independently—per Variant, not mixed together.

→
03

Advanced set structures

Drop sets, supersets, circuits and Myo-reps are part of the workout model instead of notes you have to decode later.

→
04

Practical gym tools

Rest timer, plate calculator, persistent Variant notes, Live Activity and fast numeric entry stay close to the set.

→
05

Bring your history

Import from Strong, StrongLifts, Hevy, FitNotes, Alpha Progression and JEFIT, with manual CSV mapping for other exports.

→

After the workout

See what paper never could.

History preserves the exact result. Statistics then connect sessions across Exercises, Variants, muscles, movement types, equipment and rep ranges.

Core training data lives on your device.

B

Portable backups

Create a complete versioned backup and restore it when you choose.

C

Optional system access

Apple Health, photos, camera, location and notifications are used only for the features you enable.

In active development

Train first. Analyse later.

TrainNotes is being prepared for iPhone: 60 days of full access free, followed by an optional one-time unlock. No subscription or automatic charge. History, statistics, and exports remain available after the trial. The public App Store link will appear here when the release is ready.
