Version 2.2.6

This update is primarily focused on data portability, introducing export & import functionalities for your sessions and/or routines. This might look like simple file transfers on the surface, but these tools are the keys to a whole new world of utility.

The data portability will bridge the gap between "just data" and AI-powered coaching. By feeding full history logs or routines into your favourite platforms like Claude or ChatGPT, anyone can now access deep-dive insights and personalized training summaries to leverage the powers of AI.

It isn't just about moving files, it’s about turning past performance into actionable intelligence for future success.

Access them in the Settings > Data or right at the bottom of the training tab.

Your workout data always belongs to you. That’s why it is now easier than ever to export your workout history and routines for backups, personal tracking, or deep-dive analysis. But instead of just a spreadsheet, there is now a way to turn those numbers into a smarter fitness plan.

You can send your export directly to Claude or ChatGPT to act as your personal coach. By analyzing your history, it can spot plateaus you might have missed and suggest fresh improvements for your routines. Here’s how it works:

• Select the export config & save your exported file

• Choose Claude or ChatGPT as a post export action

• You will be redirected to Claude or ChatGPT with a helpful pre-filled prompt to explain the data and schema (it will never be auto-submitted).

• Just ensure you have the Claude or ChatGPT app installed on your phone and attach your exported file.

Whether you want a simple backup or an AI-powered coach to optimize your gains, your data is ready whenever you are.

Following up on the data export update, getting settled in is now even easier. You can now import your routines directly into the app using .csv or .json files!

This update focuses on saving time and effort. Whether porting over a complicated split from another app or using AI to optimize training, there's no need to manually enter every single set and rep.

Version 2.2.5

This update is all about keeping you focused and on track, whether you’re counting down the seconds between sets or looking for that extra push during a grueling workout.

Audio support is the primary focus this time around, bringing you rock-solid rest timer notifications that break through the noise and a brand new "Split Personality" feature designed to keep things fresh while you lift. Let’s dive in.

We’ve all been there: you’re deep into your rest period, lost in a great playlist or a quick scroll through your feed, and before you know it, you’ve been sitting on the bench for five minutes. To help you keep your momentum, we’ve given our rest timer notifications a major upgrade on iOS.

Our rest alerts are now officially Time Sensitive. This is a fancy way of saying that when your rest is up, your phone will make sure you know about it. These notifications will now break through Focus modes, silent switches, and loud music to deliver a gentle nudge right when you need to get back to work.

Because this is a system specific setting, existing users will need to toggle it on manually to start feeling the benefits. Just head over to your iOS Settings > Notifications, find our app, and make sure "Time Sensitive Notifications" is switched on.

Whether you're training in a noisy gym or keeping your phone on Do Not Disturb to stay in the zone, your rest timer will now always have your back. Let’s keep those gains moving!

For a long time, Strongsplit has been your silent partner in the gym, a stone-cold, utilitarian tracker that focused on the data and nothing else. It did its job well, but it lacked a little soul. Today, that silence is going to break in the most chaotic way possible.

Introducing the Split Personality, one of the most ambitious (and slightly unhinged) update yet. It lives in your workout, and sees everything, so it can judge you more than anyone will.

There's over 500 custom voice lines to keep the experience fresh, spanning from genuine encouragement to some truly biting, unhinged commentary. It’s the perfect antidote to those sluggish Monday morning sessions where you need a literal wake-up call.

We know that "tough love" isn't for everyone every day. If the AI gets a little too personal or the mockery starts hitting too close to home, you can easily swap personalities or tone things down in the settings. You’re in control of the chaos.

Beyond the laughs and the burns, this is a massive leap for Strongsplit. This new audio dynamic will be the foundation for some incredible features coming in the future. Soon, your AI partner will be able to give you real-time heart rate warnings if you’re pushing too hard, celebrate your PR alerts the second they happen, and provide tactical training cues right in your ear. We’re moving beyond the screen to make your workout more immersive than ever before.

With the new split personality bringing in the text to speech (TTS) audio support, more training related audio cues will be added in the next few updates. In addition, iOS widgets & data import/export are also high priority items for the next few updates.

Version 2.2.4

This update is a relatively small one, primarily focused on improvements to the login and onboarding flow.

For existing users, this might not be very exciting for you, but there were also some bugs that were fixed which might have previously affected you:

• Deleting exercise during active workout may cause crash

• Exercises used only in supersets causes exercise history to crash

• Exercises without any sets may cause crash in the complete workout screen

• Error when creating exercise with auto filled muscle tags when filtering for exercises

• Sudden crash when creating a new routine or editing weight for edge cases

If you do notice any issues, dropping a report on the feedback board would be most helpful!

Version 2.2.3

We’ve given your home screen a major overhaul to help you stay on top of your game without the guesswork.

The updated Training & Activities tab now gives you a crystal-clear snapshot of your progress the second you log in. Instead of digging through menus, you can see exactly where your training stands and what needs your attention next, right from the jump.

Accessing all your routines to start a workout & adding body measurements to track your progress have been significantly optimized for quicker access right when you open the app.

Here are some of the key highlights:

We’ve overhauled your training tab to help you visualize your hard work. Whether you're tracking muscle group breakdowns or checking your latest body stats, everything is now designed to be seen at a glance so you can spend less time scrolling and more time hitting your goals.

• Weekly/monthly overview & trends with muscle & exercise breakdowns

• Improved quick access to routines with pagination to access all routines instead of just the top 3

• Body measurement (e.g. weight & body fat) trends

• Faster access to add new body measurement records

Tracking your daily movement should be as simple as a quick glance. Whether you want to see how your morning walk contributed to your total distance or you just want a cleaner view of your past sessions, we've got you covered.

• Simplified session records with toggle for additional details like the routine or data source

• Support for daily steps to be included into distance metric

You can toggle on the steps distance via the activities settings in the top right corner of the activities tab.

The scale doesn’t always tell the whole story. To help you get a much clearer picture of your progress, we’ve expanded how you track your body metrics. Whether you’re looking to track specific measurements or monitor how your physique is changing over time, you can now manage all your historical records in one place.

• Additional support for waist circumference

• New module to manage historical records & monitor trends

You’ve done the hard work, now it’s time to show it off! You can now generate sleek image exports for your completed workouts and breakdowns. Whether you're celebrating a new personal best or just keeping your friends in the loop, you can turn your session stats into a clean, shareable card with just a tap.

• Improved reliability of recovery score by using manual calculation of RHR via sleep samples if no RHR measurements are available

• New saved tab for easier access to your routines & exercises

• Simplified exercise & routine blocks with a better emphasis on the primary sort dimension

• Duplicate records from Garmin

• Missing exercise performance metric labels in historical workouts

This update marks the completion of the app overhaul. The next focus will be primarily on improved audio support & data import/export.

Version 2.2.2

• Toggle to disable auto saving of workout to Apple Health, to prevent duplicate writes to Apple Health when using non-Apple Watch devices (e.g. Garmin) that will sync to Apple Health

• Manual trigger to save workout to Apple Health upon completion of workout when autosave is disabled

• Updating a routine post workout did not reflect changes to sets for existing exercises that occured during the workout

• New workouts from Apple Health not appearing immediately in the activity screen, but only appear only 1 day later when in the weekly view

Version 2.2.1

This is the first half of the major overhaul of the app, to bring you a much more seamless experience to manage & review your workouts.

In this update, it's also about getting you smarter guidance on when to push harder, deeper insights into your performance, and a redesigned workout experience that gets out of the way so you can focus on hitting your sets.

This also marks the first step into the roadmap to make your training even more intelligent. Here is a quick look at the major new changes:

• Smart set suggestions: Get intelligent weight and rep targets for every set—not just your top set. The app knows your 1RM and flags when you're ready to lift heavier.

• Customisable progression plans: Stop guessing on progressive overload. Set your rep range and weight increments; the app tracks your progress and tells you when to advance.

• Workout screen improvements: Streamlined, distraction-free interface. Inline actions, performance metrics at a glance, less friction between you and your sets.

• Better analytics & tracking: Deeper insights into your training. Customize how you analyze lifts, track recovery by muscle group, and see your performance breakdown per exercise.

• Revamped screens: The exercise, routine and session screens have all gone through a major overhaul, with more concise insights and optimised controls.

Smarter weight & rep recommendations for every set. The revamped suggestion system calculates your target weight and reps based on your estimated 1RM and workout history, so you always know exactly what you should be lifting.

How it works:

• For working sets, the target weight is based on your estimated 1RM and the number of reps configured. Switch to editing reps? It'll suggest how many you should hit at your chosen weight.

• Tap the suggestion button in your set editor use the suggestion. Green means you're on track; red means you're below target.

• Suggestions will also be scaled down automatically for feeder sets, to work up safely to your top working set

Plateau buster: Lifting the same weight as last session? The app flags it and suggests a modest increase to keep driving progress.

Warm-up sets: Configure them as a percentage of your first working set, or use your top set as the benchmark, everything is fully customisable.

You decide whether to accept the suggestions, the app simply does the calculations for you and will never force a decision on you.

Feeling stuck with your training? Structure your training progression with a simple but robust double progression system: increase the reps within your range, then increase the weight. Build a plan based on quantitative measures using your past lifts, not guesswork.

Here's how to set it up:

1. Enabling the progression: Switch your suggestions from 1RM maximisation to following your custom progression plan. One toggle, and your suggestions align with your goals.

2. Building your plan: Configure your desired rep range, how many sets per session before bumping reps, and your ideal weight increment.

Not sure on what to set? The initial configuration will be based on your historical sets, so all you really need to worry about is if the weight increment is too fast for you.

The progression configuration is easily accessible via the exercise screen.

3. Sticking to the plan: The app flags when you're off track and prompts you to make some adjustments. You can easily update your sets to the progression target via the set suggestions.

• Recovery tracking: Muscle breakdown now indicates the # days your muscles had to rest since your last workout

• Offline support: Start & complete your workouts even without an internet connection, defer saving it till when you are connected

• Faster loading: Optimised activity sync & data downloading to improve the app loading speeds

• Exercise charts: Support for custom dimensions beyond just the default weight × reps

• 1RM breakdown: Simplified exercise performance showing the appropriate weight for each rep based on your current performance

• Map support: View your route on a map for runs and hikes, and even save the locations for your workouts and routines.

• Expanded activity support: Better integration with Apple Health for different activity types (hiking, running, etc.), with additional metrics like elevation, pace, and splits for cardio.

• Improved light theme with better readability

• Revamped exercise & routine screens

• Revamped numpad input format with a larger number display, set completion & edit set modifiers support

• Consolidated exercise note module that displays all exercise notes across different routines and sessions in one place

• Inline actions for exercises during a workout instead of being in a separate modal for faster configurations

• Improved set layout with more emphasis on primary dimensions and better spacing for labels (e.g. modifiers & previous sets)

• Workout view now supports individual exercise performance metrics, muscle tags & inline rendering of modifiers, so you get a much better overview of your session

• New workout completion screen with more concise metrics & faster redirects back to the main screen

• Reworked inputs for superset & drop set modifiers

• Filter by activity type and improved layout for metrics in the activities tab

This is just the first part of the app overhaul, some things that you can expect in the next update are as follows:

• Revamped train tab with better training insights & utility

• Optimised routine selection before starting a workout

• Improved audio cues during training

Version 2.1.8

This update is focused on giving you more control over how your 1RM is tracked and used across the app, along with a set of reliability improvements for Apple Watch, faster load times, and a handful of bug fixes that have been on the radar for a while.

Here’s what’s waiting for you in this version:

• Your 1RM, your way: Improved controls on 1RM benchmarks used for performance metrics and much more consistent usage across the app

• Smarter "per side" tracking: Auto-scaling for historical sets so your 1RM won't accidentally drop just because you changed how you log your weights.

• A more reliable Apple Watch: New crash recovery and better data validations, so if something goes wrong mid-workout, your data is safe, and your exercises won't go missing.

• Speedy performance: We cut down loading times and optimized the workout screen. The app now responds as fast as you do, so you can spend less time staring at your phone and more time lifting.

Your 1RM config now gives you full control over how your performance metrics are measured and displayed, with better context, consistency, and flexibility throughout the app.

Choose which 1RM benchmark is used for performance metrics, be it a manual entry or auto estimated, so your data reflects how you actually train. You can also view the historical best set behind your last 3-month 1RM estimate for full transparency on how that number is calculated

Some other improvements includes the following:

• Remove manual entries & adjust your formula: You can now delete manual or ad-hoc 1RM entries per exercise, and easily customize the exact formula used for estimation.

• Syncing across the app: Your last selected 1RM config now syncs everywhere and is used consistently for both set suggestions and performance metrics.

• More accurate historical charts: Exercise charts & 1RM metrics for historical sessions are now retrospective to the session's start time, giving you a better snapshot of your strength.

• Instant settings updates: Changes made to 1RM settings during the set suggestion flow are saved immediately, rather than waiting for you to accept the suggestion.

When switching between recording the total weight vs the weight per side, historical sets will now be automatically scaled, keeping exercise charts and 1RM metrics in sync with however you're currently logging.

So if you're switching to recording your weights to be per side instead of the sum it won't seem like your performance had suddenly reduced by 50%. If you don't want to implement the auto scaling, you can simply toggle it off when configuring the estimated 1RM per exercise.

I know how frustrating it is to be crushing a workout only for a tech glitch to get in the way. With the revamped Apple Watch app released in the last update, some users were already reporting issues like app crashes or missing exercises.

This update has improved the reliability of the Apple Watch app to give you total peace of mind, so you can focus on your sweat, not your screen.

• Crash-proof sessions: If the app closes unexpectedly mid-workout, don’t panic. You can now jump right back in and recover your session exactly where you left off.

• Rock-solid syncing: We’ve improved the way your phone and Watch talk to each other, making sure your hard-earned data actually gets where it’s going every single time.

• Faster fixes: We’ve added smarter behind-the-scenes tools to help us spot and squash connection hiccups before they get in your way.

Historical sessions load in the background: The app now feels faster right from the start, fetching your history while you're getting ready to lift.

Smoother workouts: Workout performance has been optimized to reduce the reliance on caching data, keeping things snappy from your first set to your last.

Instant timers: Fixed the 1–2 second delay when starting a new timer. Now, when you hit start, the clock moves as fast as you do.

• Fixed an issue where muscle distribution breakdown showed "Not set" even when all exercises had a muscle group assigned

• Fixed an issue where Apple Watch may crash when dismissing a completed timer on older models

• Fixed an issue where Apple Watch could override changes made on the phone at the end of a timer

• Fixed an issue where exercise dimensions for sets in historical sessions didn't update immediately after editing via the exercise details tab

• Fixed an issue where distance in the activity tab could include sets that previously had a distance dimension but was later removed

• Fixed an issue where creating an exercise without filters would incorrectly save an empty object for the muscles

The next few updates will be focused on a complete redesign of the app.
