Reporting a problem

When you email, it helps to include:

Health permissions

Lift can save completed strength-training workouts to Apple Health. On Apple Watch, Health access also enables workout measurements such as heart rate and active energy.

You can review or change Lift's access from the Health app by opening your profile, choosing Apps and Services, then choosing Lift. The routines, set logging and timers still work if you decide not to grant Health access.

Logging weights and reps

During a workout, tap a set’s weight and reps to edit them, then use Log Set to record the completed set. Lift supports external weights, bodyweight exercises and assisted movements. You can switch between kilograms and pounds in Settings.

Rest timers

A rest timer starts automatically after logging a set when another set remains. Change the rest duration in Settings, or skip the countdown when you are ready to continue. Notification permission is optional and lets Lift alert you when a timer ends in the background.

Apple Watch

Start a workout in Lift on your iPhone, then open Lift on your paired Apple Watch. You can log sets, adjust weight and reps with the Digital Crown, and follow rest timers from your wrist. Routine selection and starting workouts happen on iPhone.

Workout progress

If you leave Lift during a workout, your progress is saved automatically. Open the workout again to carry on from where you stopped.

Importing a routine

Lift can import routines created or converted using your preferred AI assistant. Open the routine picker, choose Import a Routine, then follow the steps to copy the provided prompt and paste the finished routine back into Lift.

The routine is checked before it is saved. If Lift finds a problem, it will explain what needs correcting and provide text you can copy back to your AI assistant.

Routine imports are processed entirely on your device. Lift does not connect to an AI service or upload the contents of your clipboard.

Removing your data

You can delete imported routines from the routine picker and clear your workout history from the History screen. Workouts saved to Apple Health can be managed separately in the Health app.

Privacy

Lift does not require an account and does not contain advertising, analytics or third-party tracking. You can read the full privacy policy for more information.
