Frequently asked questions

How do the weights go up?

When you complete every set of an exercise, its weight goes up next time: by default 5 lb (2.5 kg) every workout. After a missed set the weight stays the same, and after 3 missed workouts in a row it drops by 10%. You can change these rules for each lift in Programs → your program → the lift.

Can I log a workout without a program?

Yes. On Home, tap Improvised Workout and add any exercises. Improvised workouts count in History and Progress but never change your program's weights.

I don't get the rest alert when my iPhone is locked

Allow notifications for Strength Planner in the Settings app → Notifications → Strength Planner, and turn on Time Sensitive Notifications so the alert comes through a Focus. Settings → Preferences → Rest Timer in the app shows whether anything is off.

How do I set up my plates and bars?

Settings → Plates and Bars. The plate calculator and warmups only use the plates you have, and weights are rounded to what you can load.

How do I switch between pounds and kilograms?

Settings → Preferences → Units. Your logged workouts keep the weights you lifted.

How do I back up or move to a new iPhone?

Settings → iCloud Backup. Backups happen automatically after changes. On a new iPhone, sign in with the same Apple Account and your data is restored when you open the app. No Strength Planner account is needed.

How do I save workouts to Apple Health?

Settings → Apple Health → Sync with Apple Health, then choose what Strength Planner may save. Edits and deletions in History are kept in sync. Body weights from a smart scale also appear in the app.

How do I export or delete my data?

Settings → Export Data creates CSV files of your workouts and body weight. Settings → Delete All Data removes everything from your iPhone and your iCloud backup.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no account and no sign-in. Everything works on your iPhone.

Is Strength Planner really free?

Yes. Every feature is free, with no subscriptions, in-app purchases or ads.
