Liftsmith

Adaptive strength training · Android, iPhone, web

Your next set, already planned.

Liftsmith builds every workout from your equipment, your recovery and the time you have, then gets out of the way. One tap logs a set. The plates, the rest and the next weight are worked out for you.

How it works

Three steps, then you just lift

  1. Tell it your gym

    Pick your equipment and the plates you own, in kilograms or pounds. Home, hotel and commercial gyms each get their own list.

  2. Choose how long you have

    Slide from 15 to 90 minutes. The plan adds or drops exercises at the end instead of reshuffling everything.

  3. Lift. Tap. Rest.

    One tap logs each set as planned. The rest timer starts itself and the next set is already filled in.

Features

Everything a coach would work out, done between your sets

Adaptive programming

A plan for today, built from your last workouts

Liftsmith picks exercises your gym can do and your muscles are ready for, then sets every weight and rep from your history. A daily readiness score from recovery, missed reps and rep speed decides whether today is a push day, an easy day or business as usual, and it shows you why.

  • Double progression on top of an RIR target
  • 4-week blocks that ease into a deload week
  • Push, as planned, or go easy: you can always override

The workout screen

Big numbers, one tap, plates already worked out

Every barbell set shows exactly which plates go on each side, solved for the plates you own, so 45 lb and 20 kg sets stay exact. Log the set and the rest timer starts on its own, with the next set's plates on screen while you load.

  • Steppers for weight and reps, pre-filled every set
  • Rest timer with +30 s and Skip
  • Swap any exercise for one your gym can do

Phone in your pocket

Your rest timer lives on the lock screen

On Android, a live notification counts down your rest, shows the next set and its plates, and has Log set and +30 s buttons. On iPhone, a Live Activity does the same on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. When rest ends, your phone buzzes.

  • Live heart rate from any Bluetooth strap or watch that shares it
  • The screen stays awake while you lift
  • Siri, App Shortcuts and a Quick Settings tile to start or log

Recovery map

See which muscles are ready before you train them

Each set adds fatigue to the muscles it works, and it fades over two to three days depending on the muscle. The front and back body map shows every muscle as Fresh, Ready, Recovering or Fatigued, and the plan steers clear of what isn't ready.

  • Colour plus a label and a percentage for every muscle
  • Weekly sets per muscle against a growth target
  • No reward, ever, for training a fatigued muscle
Check your recovery

Progress and stats

Numbers that show you're getting stronger

Estimated one-rep max trends, PRs, volume, weekly sets per muscle, streaks and levels, all worked out on your phone from every set you log. Every set keeps its weight, reps, rest and heart rate, so the next plan has real data to go on.

  • Week streaks, so rest days never break them
  • PR celebrations, levels and trophies like the plate club
  • Export all your data whenever you want

Your first workout is a minute away

Answer three questions about your gym and goals. No account, no card.

3D exercise demos

See every rep from every angle

Every exercise in the library has a 3D hologram you can spin, with the target muscles lit up, an X-ray skeleton and the bar path. Male and female figures share the same motion, it's built on your phone so it works offline, and with a heart rate monitor connected the figure's heart beats with yours. Try it: pick a lift and drag the figure.

Small things that add up

Your plates, exactly

Plate counts per gym, so every suggested weight is one you can actually load.

Health Connect and Apple Health

Built for juice

PRs get confetti. Rest days don't break your streak.

XP for every set, levels, plate club trophies and weekly quests, all around your sets and never in the way of one. Streaks count weeks that hit your goal, so nobody is pushed to train sore.

FAQ

Questions lifters ask

Is Liftsmith free?

Yes. The workout logger, plate graphic, rest timer and lock-screen notification are free, and a classic 5×5 program is on its way to the free plan. Pro adds adaptive programming, readiness adjustments, the recovery map and advanced stats, for $6.99 a month or $39.99 a year, with a 14-day free trial.

Are there ads?

No, and there never will be. The subscription is the only way we make money.

Is it on Android and iPhone?

Both apps are on the way to Google Play and the App Store and ship with the same features. Until then, the full app runs in your browser and works offline once it has loaded.

What equipment do I need?

Whatever you have. Tell it your gym's equipment and plates, or choose bodyweight only, and every exercise it plans is one you can do there.

Does it work with my heart rate monitor?

Any strap or watch that broadcasts standard Bluetooth heart rate works, including Polar and Wahoo straps, Garmin watches set to broadcast, Fitbit Charge 6 and Pixel Watch.

Do I need an account?

No. Everything works on your phone without one. Sign in with Google or Apple when you want your workouts synced and backed up.

How do I cancel?

In two taps, from your Google Play or App Store subscriptions. No tricks and no countdowns.
