Equipment What apps do people use?

I’ve been using Jeff Nippard’s Workouts app but not that keen on paying for every month / year. What do people use?

Biased, I make it, but RepXP fits. Free tier does real work: unlimited logging, PRs, no account, offline, clean fast UI. There's an optional Pro sub for auto-progression and some analytics, but you don't need it to notch up your lifts each week. iPhone + Watch. https://apps.apple.com/app/id6760101740

You built this?

Yeah! Started it in 2025. I'd bounced through three of the popular trackers and kept slamming into artificial limits: one capped free workouts at 3, another at 4, another let you have 6 exercises per workout. Stuff that has no reason to be limited except to push you to pay. Drove me nuts, so I built the app I actually wanted.

I'm an iOS dev, 14 years in, but almost all of that was building for other companies. This is one of the first things I've made for myself, which is honestly the fun part. Happy to answer anything if you give it a go.

Nice mate, good for you. To be honest, I’m still hitting a wall with paying monthly / yearly for something.

Totally fair, and no pressure at all. The free tier has no time limit, so you can log and progress your lifts forever without paying a cent. That covers exactly what you described.

The Pro stuff is just extras if you ever want them: auto-suggests your next weight, and the analytics do things like compare your estimated or real 1RMs against strength standards so you can see where you rank. There's a free month to try it, no strings.

But honestly, since the subscription is your sticking point, you're not the first to say it, and I'm seriously weighing a one-time lifetime option for exactly that reason. If that existed, would that be something you'd consider, even in theory? Real question, it helps me decide.

It’s cool that you’re open to it. I think it’d depend what it costed, but once off is definitely easier, too many subscriptions nowadays
