Torvex is a gym log for iPhone, built for the ninety seconds between sets. Routines you start in one tap, a rest timer that cannot drift, personal records found for you, and your week on the Home Screen.

Incline Curl (Dumbbell)The session lives on your phone and is written there on every change, so a force-quit in the middle of a superset costs you nothing. It only reaches the server when you press Finish — the gym is exactly where the signal is worst.
This one works. Tick set 3 on the phone.
The session comes with you when the phone goes dark: a ring of sets done, one big clock, and the next set with its weight and reps beside a tick. Tap it, and the set is logged, the rest starts, and the card moves on to the set after.
This one works too. Tap the tick on the card.
The tick and the rest buttons need iOS 17. On iOS 16 the card shows the session and leaves the buttons out.
Six widgets, each small or medium, the calendar large as well. Today's routine, the week so far, the month's training days, your last session and what is left to eat are there before you open anything.
Every record is found against your whole history — best weight, best estimated 1RM, best set volume — and flagged on the set that set it. A milestone says so. If somebody trained with you, their totals sit beside yours, and the muscles you worked are drawn underneath.
What is left to eat, as a figure that counts down rather than up, three macro bars under it, and a barcode scanner for everything with a label. Recipes do the arithmetic per serving so you log the bowl, not the ingredients.
Nothing here is behind a wall you have to pay to see. The whole log — every workout, every routine, every number — is the free app. The ten Pro additions are marked where they appear, and listed together below.
Invite people you follow, or let them scan the code on your screen — up to three of you, and joining is free. You share the list of movements, whose set is next and a nudge — your turn, spot me, ready when you are; at the end, each of you sees the others' totals, never their sets.
Build a template once, put it on the days you actually train, and start it in one tap — or send it to a friend as a link or a QR code, without your weights. Folders, six programmes to start from, and room for six routines, or twelve on Pro.
Photograph a written plan, paste the text or drop a YouTube or TikTok link, and it comes back as routines you check before anything is saved.
Volume, estimated 1RM and set counts per exercise, drawn from every session you have ever logged — not a rolling window of the last few weeks.
At five on Sunday, and on the last day of the month, the app hands you a card: sessions, volume and training days, what you trained most, your best lift and the records you set — against the one before, and ready to share.
A strength rank per lift so you know where a number actually stands, milestones as you pass them, and a feed of the people you follow when you want one.
Sixty-six lifts carry a filmed demonstration: one figure, one seamless rep, the working muscles shaded — the primary in red-orange, the assisting ones lighter — on a plain white plate, so one lift looks like the next. This is the bench press, exactly as the app plays it.
Weight is stored in kilograms and distance in metres, always, and converted at the moment it is drawn on screen. Switching units never rewrites a single row of your history — it changes what the screen says, and nothing else.
Both cards list the same thirteen lines in the same order — the order the app itself uses — so you can read across rather than compare item by item.
Every workout, every routine, the whole log and every number.
Cancel whenever you like. Nothing you have logged is touched — every workout, meal and photo stays exactly where it is.
Not a check the app performs on itself — a rule Postgres applies to every read and every write, including ones the app never makes.
Every table has row-level security with owner-only policies. A signed-in account can read and write its own rows and nothing else, whatever the app asks for.
New accounts get it switched on, because off-by-default is a setting nobody finds. It stays switchable in Settings › Security if you would rather not.
Until the emailed code lands, the session resolves to nobody — so every policy on every table returns zero rows rather than trusting a screen to stand in the way.
Export your training as JSON or CSV whenever you like, and import a history you already have somewhere else. Deleting is deleting, with a bin in between.
Yes. The session lives on your phone and is written there on every change, so a dead spot in the gym costs you nothing. It only reaches the server when you press Finish — and if there is no signal then either, the finished session waits on the phone and syncs when there is. Logged meals do the same.
$34.99 a year or $5 a month, in the app. Basic is free and is a complete tracker; Pro adds the ten things listed above. Cancel whenever you like — the ten lock again, and nothing you have logged is touched; routines past the sixth and saved meals past the tenth stay, and you add a new one once you are back under the limit. Every workout, meal and photo stays exactly where it is.
Yes. Exports from Hevy, Strong, FitNotes and JEFIT are recognised by their columns. Anything else goes through a mapping screen where you match the columns and confirm the units, so a year of sets is never guessed at. Everything comes back out the same way, as CSV or JSON.
Two-factor is on for every new account from the first sign-in, because off-by-default is a setting nobody finds. Until the code lands, the session can read nothing at all — a guessed password gets an empty app. You can switch it off in Settings › Security if you would rather not.
The list of movements, whose set is next, and the nudges you send each other — each one of three fixed messages, never anything typed. Sets, reps, weights, notes and rest timers never leave the phone that typed them. When you finish, four totals cross — volume, sets, duration, records — so the recap can put your session beside theirs. That is the whole of it. Starting a session is Pro; joining one, by invite or by scanning its code, is free.
Only the people who follow you — and you cannot start a thread on your own session, only reply in one. Every comment is read before it is posted, by a word list and by Claude, Anthropic’s model; one that insults, degrades or threatens somebody is not posted, and only the person who wrote it is told. The check can be wrong either way, so a refused comment can simply be said another way.
In a Supabase project in the European Union (Ireland), under owner-only row-level security. Nobody else sees any of it until you choose: set a username and you can be found, and your finished sessions opened; a photo on a session is for the people who follow you. Export the lot whenever you like. A deleted session waits in Recently deleted with its purge date printed on it; deleting the account, in Settings › Security, removes it and everything that belongs to it. The privacy page has the rest.
Yes. It is built for the current iPhone — the system tab bar, a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, widgets, Apple Health — and there is no Android release.
Torvex is finishing up for the App Store. Leave an address and you will get a build, along with one note the day it lands publicly. Nothing else.
