What is Forge
Forge is an on-device workout tracker for iOS and Android. It stores 100% of your workout data on your phone — no account, no server, and no network connection required to use it.
Features
Everything on the device
Built for the working set, not the cloud. Forge runs offline, end to end.
-
LOCAL
Yours, on your device
Fully on-device. No account, no cloud sync, no backend. Your programs, sets and history live on your phone and nowhere else.
-
JSON
Portable JSON programs
Programs are plain JSON. Author them, import by file or paste, and share them with a partner. No backend, deduped by ID.
-
e1RM
Honest progress
Personal records ranked by Epley-estimated 1RM, so any weight × rep combo competes fairly. A sliding 5-session average keeps progress current.
-
SETS
Every set type
Normal, warm-up, drop set, AMRAP, timed, to-failure. Warm-ups and drop sets stay out of your PR figures.
-
REST
Rest timer that works
Per-exercise rest from your program, with on-device notifications when rest ends. No cloud push. Nudge it ±15s on the fly.
-
PREFILL
Smart weight prefill
Suggests your last top set, then a rolling average, then the program weight — in that order, so the bar is loaded before you ask.
On the floor
Built for the set in front of you
One huge number, hairline rules, one accent. Keep your training organized, offline, and yours.

Portable programs
Your program is just JSON
Forge programs are plain JSON. Author them, import by file or paste, and share them with a training partner. No backend, no lock-in — re-imports dedupe by ID so your library stays clean.
