About

One app. Two doors. Every lifter.

Why we built a gym log that thinks, and gave it two faces.

Origin

Built on the floor, not the spreadsheet.

Most workout apps are notepads with a barbell icon. They store your numbers and call it a day. Plate Daddy started from a simpler frustration: if the app already knows what you lifted last time, why are you still doing the math?

So we built the thing we wanted: a log that thinks. It picks your next set, catches every PR the instant it happens, adapts when the cable stack tops out, and turns sweat into a story you can read. Then we gave it two faces, because strong has no gender. Plate Daddy for the bench-and-barbell crowd, Plate Mommy for the squat-and-hip-thrust crowd.

It's made by one lifter who codes. Every feature started as a problem between sets, and most of the recent ones started as a message from someone using the app.

Principles

What we won't compromise.

01

It does the math

The app programs you. You just move the weight. No spreadsheets, no guessing your next jump, and when real life intervenes, the engine adapts instead of pretending.

02

Your data is yours

Offline-first, stored on-device, no account required. Export or import your whole history any time. Integrations are optional and off until you turn them on.

03

Everyone shows up

Two identities, thirty themes, badges for the people who serve and the people who build, one price. Built for everyone who walks in and puts some weight on it.
