getting started
how do I get lift?
terminal lift is currently in TestFlight beta. join the beta on the lift page, and you'll receive an email when access is ready.
do I need an account?
no. lift has no account or sign-in. your training stays on your iPhone and can sync through your own iCloud account.
which units does lift support?
weight is available in kg or lb. distance is available in km or miles, and measurements in cm or inches.
02 | train
workouts & logging
can I add notes while I train?
yes. add a note to an exercise while it is in your workout, so the context is there with the session that needs it.
can I edit a completed workout?
not currently. completed sessions are kept as logged. if you need to remove one, you can delete the whole session from your history.
can I delete a workout?
yes. you can delete a completed session from your workout history.
03 | organise
templates & exercises
can I make my own exercises?
yes. create custom exercises and use them in your templates just like the built-in exercise library.
can I duplicate a template or exercise?
yes. duplicate templates and exercises when you want a starting point instead of building from scratch.
how do I reorder templates or exercises?
press and hold, then drag the template or exercise into the order you want.
04 | see the work
progress & records
where can I see my progress?
each exercise has its own progress view, with a clear chart for the trend behind your sessions.
what does lift track for an exercise?
lift tracks max weight, training volume and estimated 1-rep max over time, so you can see more than a list of old workouts.
will lift tell me when I set a personal record?
yes. lift spots new personal records as you earn them.
05 | bring your data
data, imports & sync
can I move from Strong or Hevy?
yes. export a csv from Strong or Hevy, then import it into lift. your templates, custom exercises and workout history come with you.
my import didn't look right. what now?
try the import again first. if it is still not right, email support with a short description of what you expected to see.
where does my training data live?
on your iPhone. with iCloud sync enabled, it also lives in your own private iCloud database. lift has no copy and no access to it.
does lift work with Apple Health?
yes. with your permission, lift can read and write workouts, bodyweight and body-fat data through Apple Health.
does lift have an Apple Watch app, shortcuts or widgets?
not currently.
06 | get unstuck
troubleshooting
I found a bug. how should I report it?
in TestFlight, send feedback with a screenshot — it includes your device, iOS version and build number. otherwise, email support with what you did and what happened instead.
my data looks wrong, missing or duplicated. what should I do?
please do not delete and reinstall the app yet. email support with your iPhone model, iOS version, whether iCloud sync is on and how many devices use lift.
