Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Goldilifts skips the bloat of general-purpose fitness apps and does one thing exceptionally well: get you through the program.

A/B days, built in

Workout A and Workout B alternate automatically. Never wonder what you’re doing today.

Automatic progression

Hit your sets and Goldilifts adds the weight — +5 lb squats, +10 lb deadlifts, +2.5 lb upper body.

Plate calculator

Exact plates per side for any weight, including fractional plates. No math at the rack.

Warmups, solved

Warmup sets computed from your working weight, so you’re primed and ready by set one.

Rest timer

Counts up the moment you finish a set and turns gold at three minutes — the classic prescription.

History & progress

Calendar view of every session and per-exercise charts that show strength climbing.

HealthKit

Workout data can flow to Apple Health with your permission. No account, no ads, no tracking.

iCloud & widgets

Your log backs up through iCloud and lives on your Home Screen with widgets.
