Train smarter. Your coach in your pocket.
LiftIron is more than a logbook. It reads your training history to recommend your next set, tracks your cardio with GPS and live heart rate, and keeps every rep private in your own iCloud.
What's new
Recent updates focused on making LiftIron easier to pick up, move your data in, and get straight to training.
Backup & restore (export + import)
Settings → Backup & Restore now covers both directions. Export your history as CSV or JSON, or import a file to merge workouts into this device. We auto-detect LiftIron exports and Strong CSV backups — handy if you're switching apps. Duplicates are skipped so re-importing is safe. See the guide →
Simpler Routines tab
Each saved plan shows its exercises at a glance, with a clear Start Workout button. Adding the same template twice no longer clutters your list — LiftIron keeps one copy and tells you if a plan is already saved.
Cardio voice updates
GPS workouts can read out distance, pace, and calories every 2, 5, or 10 minutes (Settings → Cardio). Works with headphones — your music ducks while LiftIron speaks.
Clearer Today & lifting style
The Today screen highlights streak, weekly progress, and quick actions (Train Now, start a routine, build custom). Lifting style is a simple Heavy / Moderate / Light picker — no quiz — to improve calorie estimates.
LiftIron for Mac
Log lifts and review history on Mac with the same data as iPhone, synced through your iCloud. Settings, export, and import work there too.
Built to coach, not just record
Most trackers store numbers. LiftIron turns your own history into guidance.
Adaptive Strength Coach
Analyzes your logged sets to suggest your next weight and reps, estimate your one-rep-max trend, and flag plateaus before they stall your progress.
Cardio with GPS & voice
Track walks, runs, and rides with live distance, pace, and route. Optional voice updates read out your stats every few minutes — great with headphones.
Apple Watch, cardio-first
Start a workout from your wrist with live heart rate and active energy via HealthKit. Sessions count toward your Activity rings.
Private by design
Your data lives in your own iCloud and syncs across your devices. No accounts, no third-party servers, no tracking, nothing sold.
Routines & rest timer
Run saved routines or build a workout as you go, with a visual rest countdown and configurable default rest length.
Backup & restore
Export your full history to CSV or JSON, or import LiftIron and Strong backups to merge workouts in. Your data stays yours.
