Answers to common questions about Training Tracker, and how to reach the developer.
Getting started
How do I add an exercise?
On the Workouts tab, tap +, type a name or tap one of the popular exercises, then tap Create. The new exercise opens right away.
How do I log a set?
Tap + on an exercise’s row or swipe right on it, or open the exercise and tap Log Result. Weight and reps start from your last set, so repeating it is a single tap on Save Result.
Adjust the weight with the plate steps (±2.5/±5 kg or ±5/±10 lb) and the reps with the presets, or press and hold the steppers. For pull-ups and other bodyweight exercises, switch on bodyweight and only reps are tracked.
Can I log a workout I did earlier?
Yes. Change the date and time in the log sheet before saving. Back-dated sets don’t start the rest timer.
How do I edit or delete a set or an exercise?
Open the exercise and tap a set in its history to edit or delete it. To rename or delete an exercise, swipe left on it in the list or touch and hold it.
Deleting an exercise that has results asks for confirmation, and anything you delete can be restored with Undo in the message at the bottom of the screen.
Records and progress
When is a set a personal record?
A weighted set is a record when its weight or its estimated one-rep max beats every earlier set of that exercise; a bodyweight set when its reps do. The very first set of an exercise is never a record. Records are marked in gold and celebrated with confetti as you log them.
How is the estimated 1RM calculated?
With the Epley formula: weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30). For a single rep it’s the weight itself. Bodyweight sets have no 1RM.
How does the week streak work?
It counts consecutive calendar weeks with at least one session. The current week doesn’t break your streak while it’s still running; only a whole week without training does.
Where do I see my overall progress?
Every exercise has a chart of weight, estimated 1RM, volume or reps over 1W, 1M, 3M, 1Y or All (drag across it to inspect a day), its personal records and its full history. The Statistics tab adds sessions and volume compared with the previous period, a training volume chart, an 18-week consistency map and a progress card for every exercise.
Why are some charts missing?
Charts with fewer than 2 results in the selected range are hidden. To always show them, turn off Hide Empty Charts in Settings.
Rest timer
How does the rest timer work?
It starts by itself after you log a set. The floating pill shows your rest time with a ring that fills over 3 minutes, and a haptic tells you when it’s full. Tap Next set to log the next set of the same exercise, prefilled with the one you just did. The timer hides after 15 minutes, or you can stop it yourself.
Widgets
How do I add a widget?
Touch and hold an empty area of the Home Screen, tap Edit → Add Widget and choose Training Track. This Week shows your sessions, streak and latest exercises; Exercise shows one exercise’s latest set, trend and records. Both come in small, medium and large.
For the Lock Screen, touch and hold it, tap Customize and add a widget there.
How do I choose the exercise a widget shows?
Touch and hold the Exercise widget, tap Edit Widget and pick an exercise, or keep Most Recent to always see the one you trained last.
Can I log a set from a widget?
Tap + next to an exercise and the app opens its log sheet, prefilled from your last set. Tap anywhere else to open the app or the exercise. Widgets never change your log by themselves.
My widget is empty or out of date
Open the app once: widgets show what the app last saved. After that they update as soon as you log a set and move on to the new day at midnight.
iCloud and backup
How does sync between my devices work?
Sign in with the same Apple Account on each device and keep iCloud turned on for the app (Settings → [your name] → iCloud). Training Tracker syncs whenever you change something and every 30 seconds while it’s open. Your preferences, such as the unit and language, sync too.
Sync isn’t working. What can I check?
Open the app’s Settings tab and look at iCloud Sync:
- Not Available: sign in to iCloud in the iOS Settings app.
- Restricted: iCloud is limited by Screen Time or a device management profile.
- Offline: check your internet connection.
When the status is Active, tap Sync Now. Your log is safe in the meantime: the app keeps working offline and syncs as soon as it can.
What if I change something on two devices?
The changes are merged automatically and nothing is duplicated. If the same set or exercise was edited on both, the most recent change wins.
Does the app work without iCloud or internet?
Yes, fully. Without iCloud your log simply stays on the device.
How do I back up or move my data?
In Settings, tap Export CSV and save or share the file. To bring it back, tap Import CSV and pick the file: it’s merged with your current log, and sets you already have are skipped. It’s a plain CSV file, so it also opens in Numbers or Excel:
Workout,Date,Weight,Unit,Reps
"Bench Press",2025-01-15 14:30:00,80.0,kg,10Settings
How do I switch between kilograms and pounds?
In Settings, choose kg or lb under Weight Unit. All sets are converted for display, whichever unit you logged them in. A single set can also be logged in the other unit right in the log sheet.
How do I change the app’s language?
In Settings, choose a Language: English, Deutsch, Français, Українська, Español, 日本語 or Português, or System default to follow your iPhone. The widgets use the app’s language too.
