TRACK EVERY SET.
HIT EVERY PR.
Every gym app feels like a social network with a rest timer bolted on. The Forge is the opposite. Clean. Fast. Built for the lift, not the scroll.

ZERO BLOAT. ZERO BS.
No banners. No interstitials. Your phone is your business, not the gym’s.
The whole app is free. No subscription gates around your own data.
Train, log, leave. No likes. No followers. No streaks to flex.
No third-party analytics. No ad SDKs. No identifiers sold to anyone.
EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS.
NOTHING THAT DOESN’T.
Logged in two taps. Built-in support for supersets, drop sets, and rest-pause finishers.
Strength and volume PRs detected per exercise the moment you hit them. No spreadsheet. No math.
MEV / MAV / MRV per muscle group, reset weekly, so you can program intelligently instead of guessing.
Quick logging, trend chart, and goal tracking — without surfacing it everywhere you don’t need it.
Body-fat estimates, full circumference measurements, week-over-week trends.
Front, side, back. Locked to your account, encrypted in transit and at rest.
Tracked separately so it doesn’t pollute your lifting volume math.
Build your own splits or run a program that ships with the app.
THE FORGE METHOD —
12 WEEKS, FIVE PHASES.
A free, built-in periodization program. Hypertrophy → strength → peak → deload → reset. Weekly load tuning is computed off your 1RM so the suggested working weight just appears. Technique progression notes, coach cues, and a phase manager — all native.

ACCOUNTABILITY,
BUILT IN.
Connect with a training partner inside the app. When they finish a session, you get a push. When you finish, they do. Share a periodization program so you’re always on the same week, same phase. No group chat required.
YOUR DATA IS YOURS.
No third-party analytics. No advertising SDKs. No tracking identifiers. Just your training, encrypted in transit and at rest. Export the entire log to CSV in one tap. Delete your account from inside the app any time and it’s gone — server-side, not just hidden.
QUESTIONS.
Is The Forge free?+
Yes. The full app — including the FORGE 12-week periodization program — is free. No ads, no paywall, no subscription.
Why isn’t there an Android version?+
Right now I’m one person. Building well on a single platform beats building badly on two. Android is on the roadmap.
Will my data sync between devices?+
Yes — sign in on any iPhone you own and your full training history is there. Your account is yours; export it as CSV any time.
How does Partner mode work?+
Connect with a training partner via an invite code. When they finish a workout, you get a push notification. When you finish, they do. Accountability built in, not bolted on.
Does it sync with Apple Health?+
Not in v2.0. Apple Health bodyweight sync is on the roadmap for an upcoming release. For now, log bodyweight inside the app.
Can I delete my account?+
One tap in Settings. Everything — sessions, PRs, photos, measurements — is wiped server-side. No retention, no soft-delete.
