Brolift: a workout log for iPhone, made for lifting.

What is Brolift?
Brolift is a free workout log for iPhone, made for lifting. You log sets, reps and weight as you train, and Brolift keeps your personal records, charts your estimated one-rep max for every exercise and shows your heart rate from Apple Health. Brolift has no account. Your workouts are stored on your iPhone and sync through your own private iCloud. Brolift is made by Max, an independent developer. It first came out on the App Store in April 2020, and version 2.0 was released on October 16, 2026.

Features
What you can do in Brolift
Log sets at the rack, see heart rate from Apple Health, and follow your estimated 1RM and PRs over time.
Tracker
Log sets fast
Open Brolift at the rack and log each set with weight and reps steppers. A set timer and a workout timer run while you train, and you can add, copy or delete sets without leaving the exercise card.
- Before you lift, the tracker shows how many reps you need for a new PR at that weight.
- If something is missing when you save, Brolift says what (for example “Bench Press · Set 3: missing reps”) and jumps you to it.
- A workout in progress is still there if the app is closed and opened again.
Apple Health
Heart rate from Apple Health
With your permission, Brolift reads heart rate and energy from Apple Health and charts your heart rate across the whole session, with a marker for every exercise. Press and drag the chart to read your BPM at any moment.
- Average, low and peak heart rate, plus active and total energy.
- A heart-rate chart on every exercise, next to its sets.
- Read only: Brolift never saves or changes your Health data.
Heart rate needs a device that records it, such as Apple Watch. There is no Brolift app for the Watch: its readings reach Brolift through Apple Health. To turn it on, go to Settings › Preferences › Apple HealthKit Sync, switch on HealthKit Features and tap Request Permissions.
Apple Intelligence
Describe a workout, then lift it
Type a sentence such as “heavy push day, 45 minutes, bench focus” and Brolift builds the workout from your exercise library and loads it into the tracker. Start it right away or schedule it for later.
- Generated on device with Apple Intelligence. Nothing you type leaves your iPhone.
- To suggest weights, the model is given your PRs for up to 12 exercises.
- Needs an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence, with it turned on.
Progress
Estimated 1RM and max-weight charts
Every exercise gets an Estimated 1RM chart and a Max Weight chart, over 3 months, 6 months, a year or all time. The estimate uses the Epley formula on your best set of each workout.
- An activity heatmap, weekly volume, muscle focus and a 12-month view on the Dashboard.
For a quick estimate from a single set, use the free one-rep max calculator on this site.
Records
Personal records by weight and by reps
Brolift keeps personal records by weight and by reps, with the date you set each one. A record is kept for each weight you lift, so matching or beating your best reps at a familiar weight counts as a PR too.
- Recent PRs and lifetime stats you pick on the Dashboard: total workouts, heaviest lift, current streak, PRs this month and more.
- Body-weight exercises track your most reps, and timed exercises track your best time.
