Lift0.2

Record each lifting session, follow the day’s prescribed exercises, and let Lift track progression through a structured strength routine. Lift is an open-source Android app in the Health & Fitness category, designed for people who train with established weight-lifting programs. Its core features work without an internet connection, allowing routine guidance and workout logging during offline training.

Lift supports Starting Strength/5x5, the 531 Big But Boring three-month challenge, and Phrak’s GSPL (Modified). For each supported program, it calculates or manages progression and presents the appropriate routine for the current day. This makes it useful for lifters who want their training plan and progress records together instead of maintaining separate notes.

Workout records are stored as plain-text Org files, so they can be read, edited, and processed with standard Unix tools outside Lift. Those files can also be synchronized with software such as Syncthing, keeping the data in an accessible format rather than locking it into a proprietary database. A built-in rest timer beeps at 1.5-minute intervals to mark the time between sets. The current release is version 0.2 and uses Universal architecture, making it suited to Android users following one of its supported programs.
