Starter splits ship as byte-canonical SplitDocument JSON with fixed ULIDs (Workouts/Resources/StarterSplits, regenerated by Scripts/generate_starter_splits.swift) and auto-seed after connect into a verifiably empty container, re-checked after a settle delay — wrong guesses are harmless because identical bytes make same-path conflicts empty and tombstones reap resurrected seeds. Seeds are immutable: SyncEngine.save(split:) forks an edited seed to a fresh ULID and soft-deletes the original, whose stub is exempt from pruning (IndieSync 0.3.0 prune(exempting:)) and vetoes resurrection forever; split views resolve by id through a redirect map to follow the swap. Add Starter Splits in Settings restores deleted seeds by lifting the veto stub and rewriting the bundle bytes. Also fixes ingestFromWatch bypassing the tombstone veto (a phone-deleted workout resurrected when a stale watch resent it) and reaps a live file immediately when its tombstone arrives. SplitDetailView also picks up the category-grouped exercise sections from the exercise-category work.

|
||
|
||
Starter routines now appear automatically the first time you use the app, instead of waiting behind a button in Settings.
|
||
|
||
Editing a starter split now turns it into your own copy, so the built-in version can always be brought back later.
|
||
|
||
Add Starter Splits in Settings now restores any starters you've deleted or customized, without duplicating the ones you already have.
|
||
|
||
Fixed a deleted workout reappearing when your Apple Watch hadn't yet heard about the deletion.
|
||
|
||
The exercise screen now shows an animated figure demonstrating proper form, starting with the Bodyweight Core moves like Bird Dog and Plank.
|
||
|
||
New Bodyweight Core starter split: a short warm-up plus a three-round circuit of planks, holds, and slow core moves — no equipment needed.
|
||
|
||
Exercises in a split can now be marked as warm-up or main circuit, and the split screen groups its list accordingly.
|
||
|
||
Opening an exercise you've already completed now shows a big green check instead of dropping you back into its timers.
|
||
|
||
Timed exercises like planks now show their hold time in exercise lists instead of reps and weight.
|
||
|
||
When deleting a workout that was saved to Apple Health, you can now choose to remove it from Apple Health too. Workouts recorded by Apple Watch may need to be deleted in the Health app instead.
|
||
|
||
Sync problems are now shown in Settings instead of failing silently.
|
||
|
||
Fixed workouts and splits vanishing from the app when iPhone storage ran low: when iOS offloads their files to iCloud to free up space, Workouts now downloads them back automatically instead of treating them as gone.
|
||
|
||
When the same workout or split is edited on two devices around the same time, all devices now settle on the most recent change instead of some keeping an older version.
|
||
|
||
**June 2026**
|
||
|
||
Your workouts now save to Apple Health and count toward your Activity rings — recorded straight from your Apple Watch with real heart rate and calories, or estimated on your iPhone when you train without your watch.
|
||
|
||
See your heart rate and calories live on the Apple Watch as you train, and get a summary the moment you finish — duration, active calories, average and max heart rate, heart-rate zones, and total volume — that you can also revisit on any past workout.
|
||
|
||
Each split can now be set to an activity type — strength, functional strength, HIIT, core, cardio, or cycling — so its workouts are categorized correctly in Apple Health.
|
||
|
||
You can now choose whether weights show in pounds or kilograms from Settings.
|
||
|
||
Starting a new workout while another is still going now asks whether to end the current one first or run both in parallel.
|
||
|
||
Discarding or deleting an in-progress workout on iPhone now takes your Apple Watch out of the workout too, so the watch no longer keeps waking to the workout app when you raise your wrist.
|
||
|
||
You can now end a workout before finishing every exercise: open the ⋯ menu and choose End Workout, then Save to keep what you did — any exercises you didn't get to are marked skipped — or Discard to remove the workout.
|
||
|
||
Right after you turn on iCloud Drive, Workouts now waits for it to finish coming online instead of giving up and showing the "turn on iCloud Drive" screen too soon. The connecting screen also keeps you posted as it works, letting you know the first connect can take a moment.
|
||
|
||
When iCloud Drive is turned off, Workouts now shows a clearer, friendlier screen — explaining that your data lives privately in your own iCloud Drive, with no account or login, and walking you through turning iCloud Drive on.
|
||
|
||
During an Apple Watch workout, lowering your wrist now keeps the work or rest timer showing its most recent count (marked with a ~) instead of a cut-off "less than a minute".
|
||
|
||
Add a Workouts complication to your Apple Watch face — tap it to open the app straight from any watch face.
|
||
|
||
Prop your iPhone up during an Apple Watch workout and it now runs the same live flow side by side — Ready → work/rest → Finish with running timers — and you can drive from either device: swipe ahead, finish a set, or add one on whichever is closer, and the other follows along. Automatic moves, like a rest timer running out, advance both devices on their own.
|
||
|
||
Editing an exercise or split on iPhone now steps the Apple Watch out of that workout, showing it as "Editing on iPhone" until you're done — so the watch never keeps running an exercise whose plan you're changing.
|
||
|
||
The app now wears its signature purple: it's the accent color throughout, and a completed exercise is marked with a purple check. In-progress exercises now read as a neutral gray.
|
||
|
||
Tapping an exercise on iPhone now opens a paged workout run — the same Ready → work/rest → Finish flow as the Apple Watch, with rep sets counting up, timed sets and rests counting down and auto-advancing, plus haptics.
|
||
|
||
The exercise detail and edit screen moved behind an Edit swipe on the trailing edge; the leading swipe still completes a set.
|
||
|
||
The iPhone screen now stays awake the whole time the app is open, so a propped-up phone never sleeps during a workout.
|
||
|
||
The Apple Watch is now a focused workout runner: it opens on the active workout's exercises (or prompts you to start one on iPhone) and lists every in-progress workout at the root.
|
||
|
||
Each watch exercise runs as a paged Ready → work/rest → Finish flow — count-up work, count-down rests with haptics and auto-advance, One More, and a Done that fires automatically after a countdown.
|
||
|
||
Added configurable rest-between-sets and Auto-Finish countdown durations in iPhone Settings, synced to the watch.
|
||
|
||
Starting a workout on iPhone now launches the Apple Watch straight into the session.
|
||
|
||
Apple Watch set progress is now reliable — a finished set is never un-counted — and reopening an exercise resumes at the first unfinished set instead of restarting at set 1.
|
||
|
||
Fixed Apple Watch work/rest timers freezing when you lowered your wrist.
|
||
|
||
Progress made on the Apple Watch now appears on open iPhone screens in real time.
|
||
|
||
The iPhone app is now iPhone-only; it was inadvertently available on iPad.
|
||
|
||
New app icon: a tilted dumbbell on a purple gradient, replacing the teal circular mark.
|
||
|
||
Starter splits are now a curated machine-based routine (Upper Body, Core, Lower Body) at 4×10 with sensible starting weights.
|
||
|
||
Fixed the exercise set-progress grid not appearing on the first frame.
|
||
|
||
Fixed tapping an exercise in a workout log opening the wrong screen.
|
||
|
||
**2.0** — Re-platformed sync onto iCloud Drive: your workouts now live as files in iCloud Drive, replacing CloudKit.
|
||
|
||
Fixed new workouts being marked complete the moment they were created.
|
||
|
||
Fixed an undismissable delete confirmation dialog.
|
||
|
||
Fixed toolbar buttons being hidden behind nested navigation.
|
||
|
||
Removed a placeholder "Settings coming soon" row.
|
||
|
||
**January 2026**
|
||
|
||
Added real-time sync between iPhone and Apple Watch over WatchConnectivity (workouts, splits, exercises, and logs), with workout-log and exercise-progress views on the watch.
|
||
|
||
Moved Splits into Settings, accessed via a gear button; the main screen became a single Workout Logs view.
|
||
|
||
Added an exercise screen with set-by-set progress tracking, a weight-progression chart, read-only Plan and Notes tiles with dedicated Edit screens, and auto-dismiss when you finish the last set.
|
||
|
||
Updated the app icons.
|
||
|
||
Initial workout tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch: create splits, pick exercises filtered by the current split, and log sets, reps, and weight — with iCloud (CloudKit) sync, a tab-based interface, an SF Symbols icon picker for splits, bundled starter exercise libraries (bodyweight and Planet Fitness), and an About section.
