The workout app that puts your lifting in Apple Health

What you want from a workout app that works with Apple Health

• Every lifting session in Health

  Finish a workout on iPhone and it saves to Apple Health, so your strength days sit in the same history as everything else you do.

• Exercise by exercise, not one blob

  Each exercise is saved as its own segment, so a session reads as squat, then split squat, then calves, rather than a single block of time.

• The detail where it's useful

  Weight, reps and reps in reserve for every set live in RIRLift, prefilled from last time. That log is what sets your next weights and charts each lift's estimated 1RM.

  

• Your next session at a glance

  Home Screen widgets show the next session up and your top lift's trend, without opening the app.

  

• No account to make

  Download and train. iCloud sync is there if you want your log on more than one device.

Lifting days that land in Apple Health

A runner's off-season strength day

You run most days and lift twice a week after a run. Health already holds your runs; this session joins them, exercise by exercise.

Exercise	You logged	Next session	Why
Trap Bar Deadlift	225 lb, 6 / 6 / 6 reps, 2 left	230 lb × 3	Every set at the top of 3–6: one step up, reps back to 3.
Bulgarian Split Squat	40 lb pair, 8 / 8 / 7 reps per leg, 2 left	40 lb × 8	The weakest set hit this session's target of 7 but not the top of 5–8. Same weight, one more rep.
Standing Calf Raise	180 lb, 10 / 10 / 10 reps, 1 left	190 lb × 6	Top of 6–10 on every set: one step up on the stack.

Health shows the session next to this morning's run. RIRLift already has Thursday's weights.

Back to lifting after three weeks of classes only

Pilates and cycling kept going, but lifting stopped for three weeks. Health shows the classes and the gap; RIRLift offers Ease back in.

Exercise	You logged	Next session	Why
Hip Thrust	Last session: 135 lb × 10, 2 left	120 lb × 6–10	One easier week about 10% lighter, rounded to your plates.
Lat Pulldown	Last session: 90 lb × 8, 2 left	80 lb × 6–10	Same lighter week, rounded to the stack.
Barbell Back Squat	Last session: 115 lb × 8, 2 left	105 lb × 5–8	Same lighter week. Choose Pick up where I left off instead if you kept lifting elsewhere.

One lighter week, then normal progress. The comeback session saves to Health next to your classes.
