kg or lb. Per exercise.
Flip a lift to lb and every number converts, rounded to your plates. History is never rewritten.
Strength training, with intent
Every weight has a why.
Lyftora plans your next session from rules you can read, and tells you exactly why each weight changed.
Free forever: unlimited logging, history and routines.
Your session, the top set and the plates to load.
How it works
The glass box, between two camps.
Every strength app sits in one of two camps. Loggers record what you did and leave the plan to you. AI coaches pick your weights and don't show their working. Lyftora plans your next session from rules you can read, and tells you why.
Fast loggers
Fast, but no plan
You decide every weight yourself. Free tiers cap routines and history.
AI coaches
A plan you can't inspect
The algorithm picks the weight. No free tier, no way to change the logic.
Lyftora
A plan you can read and change
Logs as fast as a logger. Plans like a coach. Shows its working every time.
- The why
Every weight has a reason
"You made all 3 sets of 5 at 100 kg. Your rule adds 2.5 kg." On every prescribed set.
Others: a number, no explanation.
- Your rules
Read the rule. Change the rule.
Progression is a plain-language card that saves as readable text. Edit one value and the plan updates.
Others: fixed templates or a black box.
- Foresight
See the weeks ahead
Preview 4 weeks free, 16 with Pro, including stalls and deloads, before you commit.
Others: you find out on the day.
- Your data
Nothing held hostage
Unlimited routines and history, free. Import from Strong or Hevy, export everything, any time.
Others: 3–4 routines, 3 months of history on free plans.
- Your gym
410 lifts, plus every machine you use
30 kinds of row alone. Add unlimited exercises of your own, with a photo of the machine and its seat settings.
Others: 7 custom exercises on Hevy's free plan.
- Your people
Friends and a coach, built in
Cheer a friend's best, copy their program, train together live. Coaches assign programs and review check-ins, with your consent.
Others: a social feed or a separate coaching app.
The tour
See the whole app before you try it.
Six journeys, real screens from the app. Pick one, then step through with the arrows, your keyboard or a swipe.
01 / 06
Today tells you what's next
The next session, the top set and the plates to load. Every change from last time is marked.
Live demo
Take it for a lift.
A working copy of the app with a lifter's history already loaded. Start today's workout, log sets, change a rule and watch the plan respond.
Everything stays in your browser. Nothing is saved.
Progression
Read the rule. Change the rule.
Pick how a lift should progress in plain words, set the step, and choose what it applies to: one exercise, a workout, a group or the whole program. The next four weeks redraw as you tap.
Up 2.5 kg. All 3 × 5 at 100 kg on Monday, so 105 kg comes next.If every set is made, add 2.5 kg next time.
- Four styles, in words. Add weight when you hit every rep, work up a rep range, raise your max each cycle, or go by feel.
- Stalls are handled on purpose. Miss twice in a row and your deload rule drops the weight 10%, with the reason on screen.
- Nothing is overwritten. Every change saves a version you can restore.
When it stops going up
Plain answers from your own logs.
"You've benched once a week since October, not twice." Each reason says how sure it is and which sessions it comes from. If nothing explains a stall, it says so.

Compares free plans by category as of November 2026. Fast loggers and AI coaches describe the typical app in each camp, not any one product.
The library
Every lift you know. Every machine you use.
410
exercises, with muscles, equipment and form cues
951
other names we recognise, so imports from Strong and Hevy just match
∞
exercises you create, free, each with up to 3 photos of your machine
- Search finds all 30 kinds of row. Aliases work too: RDL, OHP.
- Not there? Make it in 20 seconds. Name it, snap the machine, pick how it loads.
- Your rules round to what that machine can load. 2.5 kg jumps on one, 5 lb on another.
Clips and compare
Film the set. Keep the proof.
- Tap the camera on any set to attach a 15-second clip. It's filed with that set, private by default.
- Share it with your coach, who replies on that exact set.
- Compare week 1 and week 8 side by side. Both clips line up at the start of the rep and scrub together. Pro, with one free try.
Built for real life
Training doesn't go to plan. Your app should.
The fixes for what lifters complain about most. Every one uses the same idea: the app adapts, and tells you why.
Type it. The bar reloads.
Type 105 and the plates per side update. It never asks for a weight you can't load.
Say "102.5 for 5".
Log with your voice when your hands are covered in chalk. Recognised on your phone, never sent anywhere.
The plan listens.
Flag the set: knee, dull ache. The weight holds instead of going up, and a gentler swap is suggested.
Pick up where you can.
Back after 12 days? Today eases you in at 90% and says how you'll build back.
Only 30 minutes? Keep what matters.
Accessories trim down. Main lifts stay, so progress stays on track.
Short on time?Main lifts kept
Swap in one tap.
The closest alternative at your gym, with its own starting weight. Next time, your plan is back to normal.
Leg press→Hack squat
Three years, imported in seconds.
Drop in a Strong or Hevy export. Nothing capped, and undo is one tap.
Beyond the phone
Your AI. Your wrist. Your rules.
Bring your own AI. Your rules still decide.
Give Claude or another assistant a read-only key to your log. Ask why your bench stalled and it answers from your real numbers. It can read; it can't change a thing.

On your wrist and lock screen.
A Wear OS app for sets and rest. Finish a set and start your rest from the lock screen without unlocking. Workouts go to Health Connect.

support@lyftora.comQuestions
A few things you might be wondering.
Do I need Pro to run my program?
No. Logging, all history, unlimited routines, the rule builder and export are free. Your programs keep running when Pro ends.
Does an AI choose my weights?
No. Lyftora applies the progression rules you choose. You can read the reason and change the load before every set.
Can I try it before installing anything?
Yes. The live demo above is a working copy of the app with example data. It runs in your browser and saves nothing.
Where can I get the app?
Join the beta through the web app. Android beta is coming soon, with a Wear OS companion. iOS comes later. Store listings are not available yet.
Can I bring my history from Strong or Hevy?
Yes. Import their export file or any spreadsheet with dates, lifts and sets. Nothing is capped, and the whole import undoes in one tap.
Is lifetime always available?
The $79.99 lifetime offer is planned for the launch window only. Founding membership is different: $19.99 billed annually, with that rate locked for life for the first 1,000 annual subscribers.
