A focused workout log for iPhone and Apple Watch.

Support

Need help or want to report a bug? Contact the developer through our support issue tracker. Include your app version, device model, and the steps that caused the issue. The tracker is public: do not post private workout data, backups, contact details, or diagnostic reports.

Common questions

Back up your workouts: open Settings → Portable backup → Export CSV. Keep a copy before changing devices. Import CSV merges records by ID.

Apple Watch: install the companion through the Watch app on your paired iPhone. Open Lift on both devices to establish the connection. The watch provides rest timing and set logging for your current workout.

Rest audio: countdown cues use your current media audio route and volume. Check media volume, Bluetooth connections, and the audio test in Settings. The completion notification deliberately has no extra alarm sound.

Apple Health: optionally enable Save completed workouts in Settings. Lift writes workout timing and summary metadata, not individual weights and reps. Manage Health permissions and existing Health records in Apple's settings and Health app.

Privacy policy

Effective October 5, 2026 · Applies to Lift and its Apple Watch companion.

Local storage; no developer data collection

Workouts, routines, custom exercises, notes, and preferences are stored on your device. Lift has no account system, advertising, analytics SDK, or developer-operated server collecting your data. Device backups are governed by your Apple settings. We do not sell your training data or track you across apps or websites.

Watch and Live Activities

Apple's WatchConnectivity exchanges the current workout, rest timer, and logging commands with your paired Apple Watch. Live Activities display workout information on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. This data is not sent to the developer.

Optional Apple Health

With your permission, Lift writes completed strength workouts to Apple Health with start/end times, routine name, and set count. It does not read Health data. Set weights, repetitions, and later edits remain in Lift. Revoking Health access does not remove records already saved in Apple Health.

Exports and diagnostics

CSV backups and audio diagnostic reports leave your device only when you explicitly export or share them to a destination you choose. Local diagnostic reports contain timestamps, audio routes, app state, and errors, not logged sets. If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to provide for support; public issue posts are visible to others and hosted by GitHub.

Deletion and control

You can delete routines and workouts in Lift. Deleting the app removes its local data. Exported copies, device backups, and Apple Health records may remain separately and must be managed in their respective locations.
