Train the way you log.
LiftLog is a design-led strength training tracker for iPhone — tabular numerics, haptic-rich workout sessions, periodized programs, and PR moments rendered with the polish of a piece of equipment. Free 7-day trial. No card. No auto-renew. Then you decide what it's worth.
Numbers are the product
Weights, reps, PRs, and volume are rendered with tabular figures, calibrated tracking, and a stadium-scoreboard hierarchy. The set you're working on is the brightest thing on the screen — everything else recedes.
Workout sessions designed for working sets
A custom numeric keypad with haptic feedback. Set completion sweeps a green confirmation across the row. The rest timer wraps the screen with a progress ring. Built for thumbs holding a phone between sets — not a designer's portfolio shot.
Pay what you can. Once.
Seven days free, no card required. Then choose what LiftLog is worth: $9.99 Fair, $19.99 Good, $29.99 Generous, $39.99 Patron. One-time. No auto-renew. No trial trap. No subscription tax on your training history.
PR moments that feel like moments
When you hit a personal record, LiftLog notices. A success haptic, a subtle glow pulse, a logged moment in your history. Your best lifts deserve a celebration — not just a row.
Fit check
Is LiftLog right for you?
You'll love LiftLog if…
- You lift seriously and want a log that feels as deliberate as your training
- You appreciate craft — typography, depth, motion — and notice when an app cuts corners
- You want big, legible, tabular numerics during a working set, not body-copy text
- You follow a structured program — PPL, Upper/Lower, Full Body, 5/3/1, hypertrophy blocks — and want it visualized cleanly
- You celebrate PRs and want them to feel like a moment, not a row in a list
LiftLog may not be for you if…
- You primarily do cardio, group fitness, or bodyweight-only routines
- You want a social feed, public leaderboards, or workout sharing
- You want a coach in your ear or guided video workouts during sessions
- You prefer maximum feature surface area over editorial restraint

Capabilities
What you can do
01
Tabular numerics from end to end
Every weight, rep, set, time, volume, and 1RM uses tabular figures — numbers that line up vertically across rows so trends are readable at a glance. No drift, no jitter, no wandering decimal points.
02
Haptic-rich workout session view
Custom numeric keypad replaces the system one — bigger keys, calibrated taps, haptic feedback on every digit. Set completion is a deliberate gesture: spring animation, success haptic, green sweep. You feel the workout, not just see it.
03
Programs with proper periodization
Push / Pull / Legs, Bro Split, Upper / Lower, Starting Strength, Full Body 3× — and your own. Linear, DUP, block, or wave periodization with automatic deload weeks. Your weekly mesocycle is rendered as a clean dashboard, not a wall of cards.
04
Exercise library with anatomy-aware browsing
Each exercise has an X-ray-style anatomy render, primary and secondary muscle tags, and a numbered HOW-TO with a connected vertical rail. Browse by muscle group, equipment, or movement pattern. Find any exercise in two taps.
05
Progress that earns its space
Big stats — workouts, total volume, sets — over 30 days, 90 days, all time. Each stat ships with a delta vs. the prior period. A GitHub-style activity heatmap shows your last 90 days at a glance. Per-exercise: estimated 1RM, best set, best volume, and Rep PRs at 1, 3, and 5 reps.
06
Restraint is the design
One accent color. One display typeface. One spacing scale. Every card uses the same elevation system. Every number uses the same numeric scale. The result: nothing competes for attention with the set you're about to lift.
07
Privacy by default
No third-party analytics. No advertising SDKs. No social feed. No required account. Workout history lives on your device with optional iCloud sync to your own Apple ID.
08
Pay-what-you-can pricing — once
Free for seven days, no card on file. After the trial, choose your tier: $9.99 Fair, $19.99 Good, $29.99 Generous, $39.99 Patron. One-time payment. No auto-renew. No trial trap. You own it — and your training history isn't held hostage by a lapsed subscription.
FAQ
What is LiftLog?
LiftLog is a design-led strength training log for iPhone. It's built around a tabular-numeric type system, haptic-rich workout sessions with a custom numeric keypad, periodized programs (PPL, Upper/Lower, Full Body, Starting Strength, Bro Split, custom), and deep per-exercise analytics — estimated 1RM, best set, best volume, Rep PRs at 1/3/5 reps, and a 90-day activity heatmap. Free seven-day trial, no card required, then a one-time pay-what-you-can purchase from $9.99 to $39.99.
How is LiftLog different from GymLogger X?
LiftLog and GymLogger X are sister apps from Lagerland Apps that approach strength training from different angles. GymLogger X is a fast, minimalist logger with Apple Watch as a first-class client — optimized for workflow speed at a $44.99 lifetime price. LiftLog is design-led and iPhone-first: tabular numerics, haptic-rich sessions, restrained typography, and a pay-what-you-can one-time purchase from $9.99 to $39.99. Pick GymLogger X if you live on Apple Watch. Pick LiftLog if you care about the polish and craft of every screen — and like the idea of choosing your own price.
How much does LiftLog cost?
LiftLog is free for seven days — no card required and no auto-renew. After the trial, you choose what it's worth to you: $9.99 (Fair), $19.99 (Good), $29.99 (Generous), or $39.99 (Patron). All four are one-time payments — no subscription, no recurring charge, no trial trap. Pick the tier that matches what the app is worth to you and you own it.
Why pay-what-you-can pricing?
Strength training is a long-term practice. We don't think your training history should be held hostage by a lapsed subscription, and we don't want a credit card on file just to start. Seven days free without a card means you only pay if it earns your money. The four-tier ladder lets newer lifters in at $9.99 while letting fans support the work at $39.99 — the same app, your call. The launch journal post explains the bet in more detail: https://lagerland-apps.github.io/journal/liftlog-pay-what-you-can/
Does LiftLog support Apple Watch?
LiftLog is iPhone-first by design. The workout session view is built around a custom numeric keypad and haptic feedback that wouldn't translate to a small wrist screen. If you primarily log from Apple Watch, GymLogger X is the better fit — it treats Apple Watch as a first-class client.
What programs does LiftLog support?
PPL (Push/Pull/Legs), Upper/Lower, Full Body, 5/3/1, hypertrophy blocks, and custom periodized templates. Linear, DUP (Daily Undulating Periodization), block, and wave periodization with automatic deload weeks built in.
Does LiftLog track personal records?
Yes. LiftLog tracks PRs by exercise — best 1RM (estimated and actual), best volume, and best rep ranges. When you hit a new PR mid-session, LiftLog acknowledges it with a haptic and a quiet visual celebration.
Does LiftLog need an account or internet connection?
No. LiftLog works fully offline with no account required. Workout data stays on your device, with optional iCloud sync using your own Apple ID — Lagerland Apps never sees or stores your data.
Can I import workouts from Strong, Hevy, or another tracker?
Yes. LiftLog supports import from common workout-tracker CSV exports. Open the export from Strong, Hevy, or your previous logger and LiftLog will map exercises, sets, reps, and weights into your history.
