- An ethical strength training tool built for and shaped by the community it serves.
- A data-driven system that connects periodisation and progressive overload with the key factors that drive training success - sleep, diet, hydration, mood, stress and more - helping you develop a deeper understanding of how your body and mind work together.
- Forever free-to-use, donation-based funding model↗.
- No social features, comparisons, engagement-baiting or gamification - just a tool for your own needs and nothing more.
- iOS only initially. Privacy-centric, local-first architecture↗ - all your data exists on your device and is never shared nor sold.
Primarily intermediate lifters who have moved beyond the novice phase but find themselves struggling with long-term progression, consistent tracking, or would like to take a more holistic approach to their health & fitness goals.
If you've been lifting for 1-3+ years and want a data-driven system without all the unwieldy spreadsheets or social comparisons of other fitness apps - this is for you.
A senior engineer committed to creating software that returns to its foundational purpose: tools that empower our potential, rather than apps that exploit our insecurities & vulnerabilities for private gain.
Half pragmatic passion project, half response to industry trends - my aim is to demonstrate what ethical mobile software looks like, executed with technical excellence, and constantly guided by the people that actually use it.
Macht is built around what its users (that's you!) actually need - here you can have your say and shape what comes next.

Initial iOS store releases
IN PROGRESSRight now the focus is on finishing the MVP of the app and getting it out there. The workout view, routine builder, history & settings page is complete. The remaining work is around usability testing & resolving any performance issues / bugs that come out the back of that.
The deployment pipeline is already set up with Fastlane & Expo - so once UX testing is complete, the final stage will be going through the App Store submission process.
Basic insights page
The "insights" page will combine workout stats (volume etc.) with the data gathered from pre-workout reviews (stress, hydration, diet, sleep etc.) into a holistic view, which will help in noticing trends between performance & overall well-being. I anticipate this screen will largely replace the current "history" screen.
Pre-workout & post-workout stretching
Add the ability to create stretching routines (with timings etc.) & assign them to being completed pre & post workouts. This is quite a large project, requiring interfaces for creating/updating/deleting stretching routines, assigning them to workout routines & then an interface in workout itself for doing the stretches.
Workout page
DONEPre-workout data collection (mood, nutrition, sleep, motivation, energy), workout creation, number input with set calculation, 1RM calculation, set logging, rest timer, routine exercise selector with skip, exercise statistics, history graph with volume/1RM/max weight/sets/reps over time, view/edit set page, workout-specific history, done confirmation dialog, post-workout results screen
