PlamThree taps a set
Weight and reps come from last time. Tap how hard it was (Failure, 1 left, 2+ left) and the set is done. The rest timer starts by itself, and the next set waits on your Lock Screen.
For iPhone and Apple Watch
Most gym apps stop at the log. Plam uses it.
Log every set in three taps. Progression, warm-ups and weekly volume are worked out for you. Then the Coach reads your training and your progress photos and proposes what to change. Nothing changes until you accept it.

Free to log, forever. Plam Pro adds the Coach and photo analysis.

The loop
Your log, your photos and your program, finally talking to each other.
Other apps own one piece: a fast log, an auto-progression engine, or a photo scan. Plam joins them, and you stay in charge of every change.
Train
Log sets on your iPhone or your Watch. Weight and reps are filled in.
Progress
Fixed rules raise the weight, plan warm-ups and count sets per muscle.
Check in
Front, side and back photos, lined up against last week's.
Coach
Your photos and training volume, read together. A change is proposed.
You decide
Accept or reject. Your program only changes when you say so.
Step four is the one nobody else does: photos and training history feeding the same proposed change.
The log
Built for lifters who train hard, mostly on machines.
It remembers your machines
Seat height, pad and pin position, and the weight you start at, saved for each machine in each gym you train at.
It knows what comes next
Hit the top of your rep range and the weight goes up next time. Warm-up sets are worked out from your first working weight. A lift that has stopped moving is pointed out.
Weekly volume per muscle
Every set is counted for the muscles it trains and shown against a target band of 10–20 sets a week, so you can see what is under-trained before your photos do.
Deloads that don't touch your plan
Mark a week as a deload and that week's workouts get lighter and shorter. Your program stays as it was, and the deload stays out of your progression history.
Bring your history
Import your workouts from Hevy, Strong or MacroFactor Workouts. Keep your PRs.
Apple Watch
Leave the phone in the locker.
The Watch app is a full logger, not a remote. A whole workout runs from your wrist, with or without signal.
- Turn the Digital Crown for weight, tap for reps and effort.
- A tap on the wrist when rest is over.
- Heart rate and calories while you train, and the workout saved to Apple Health.
- Your program and your history follow you between iPhone and Watch.

Plam Pro · The Coach
A coach that proposes. You decide.
Build a program by chatting, or ask for a change in plain words: "make Thursday shorter", "swap leg press for hack squat", "week 5 deload".
- Every change arrives as a card that says exactly what moves and why.
- Nothing is applied until you tap Accept. Your logged sets are never rewritten.
- The numbers come from fixed rules, not from guesswork: progression, warm-ups and volume are plain arithmetic, tested in the app.
- Prefer to do it yourself? Edit your program by hand any time.
My photos were analysed. Going by them and my training volume, what should change?
Your side delts look behind the rest, and they have had 6 sets a week for the last 8 weeks.
Proposed change
Dumbbell Lateral Raise: 3 sets to 4
The photo analysis calls your side delts lagging, so they get one more set on each upper day.

Progress photos
Progress photos, done properly.
Front, side and back, with last week's photo as a ghost to line up against. Compare any two check-ins side by side or with a slider.
- Photos are stored on your iPhone, encrypted while it is locked. Faces can be blurred before a photo is saved.
- Analysis is opt-in, for adults only, and runs only when you ask. Photos are not kept afterwards.
- You get an estimated body-fat range and which muscles look ahead or behind, checked against your weekly volume.
- Body-fat figures are estimates from photos, not measurements and not medical advice.

Questions
Good questions.
When is Plam out?
Plam is in final testing and coming to the App Store for iPhone and Apple Watch soon. It needs iOS 18 and watchOS 11 or later.
Who is it for?
Lifters with a year or more under the bar who train for size, mostly close to failure and mostly on machines in a commercial gym. If you use Hevy or Strong today and want the app to do something with your log, it is for you.
Will the AI change my program without asking?
Never. Every change the Coach suggests is shown as a card with what changes and why. Your program changes only when you tap Accept, and the sets you have logged are never rewritten.
Where do my photos go?
They are stored on your iPhone. If you turn on photo analysis and ask for one, that check-in's photos are sent once to be analysed (by Anthropic's Claude, in the United States) and are not kept by us afterwards. The result is saved on your iPhone. The privacy policy has the details.
Do I need an account?
Not for logging. An account, made with Sign in with Apple, is only needed for the Coach, photo analysis and backing up your workouts. Plam asks Apple for no name and no email address.
Is it a medical or nutrition app?
No. Plam is for planning and logging strength training. Body-fat ranges are estimates from photos, not measurements, and nothing in the app is medical advice. It does not track food.
Android?
Not for now. Plam is built for iPhone and Apple Watch.
Train. Check in. Let it tell you what to change.
Plam is coming soon to iPhone and Apple Watch. Questions before then? Write to us.
