How It Works

Set up once: pick kg/lb, open your library, and build workouts from blank templates or routines.
Train and log: track sets, rest with Live Activity support, and keep momentum with minimal logging mode.
Review and improve: check reports, analytics, and trends, then export or sync your data on your terms.

Privacy + Control

LiftBanana is local-first and offline-first by design. Optional iCloud sync is there for convenience, not lock-in, and your local data remains usable without it.

You can train without an account, avoid ads and tracking, and export your data whenever you want. In short: your workouts are your business.
