FAQs

INCREMNT is a strength training tracker for iOS and Apple Watch that takes the guesswork out of your workouts. It remembers what you lifted last time, recommends what to lift next, and shows you which muscles you've been hitting (and which ones you've been skipping). You can build structured programs, track PRs across every exercise, and even query your training data from the command line if that's your thing. Your data stays on your device unless you choose to turn on Cloud Sync.

Yes, completely free. No subscription, no ads, no paywall, no "premium tier" that locks away the good stuff. Every feature in INCREMNT is available to every user from day one. We think a good training tracker shouldn't cost you a monthly fee.

Anyone who lifts weights and wants to get better at it. Whether you're a beginner following your first program or someone who's been training for years and wants better data on their sessions, INCREMNT fits the way you train. It's designed around the question most lifters ask at the start of every set: "what did I do last time, and what should I do now?"

iPhone and Apple Watch are the core experience. Beyond that, there's a command-line interface (incremnt) for macOS, Linux, and Windows that lets you query your training history from the terminal, and a web dashboard at incremnt.app/dashboard for browsing your data in a browser. Most people just use the phone app, but if you're the kind of person who likes piping workout data through jq, we've got you covered.

Not at the moment. INCREMNT is iOS-only for now. We'd love to support Android eventually, but it's a small team and we'd rather do one platform really well than two platforms poorly.

When you start a set, INCREMNT looks at what you did last time for that exercise and suggests a weight based on progressive overload. It takes into account your rep range, how your recent sessions went, and what your program calls for. Think of it as having a training partner with a perfect memory. You can always override the suggestion if you're feeling stronger (or more honest) than the algorithm thinks.

The muscle map is a full-body diagram on your dashboard that lights up based on which muscle groups you've trained recently. It's a quick way to spot imbalances — if your chest is glowing and your back is dark, you know what to do next. Muscles fade over time as they recover, so the map always reflects where you're at right now, not last month.

Absolutely. The program builder lets you lay out your training week however you like — push/pull/legs, upper/lower, full-body, bro split, whatever works for you. Set your exercises, target sets and reps, and schedule rest days. Once your program is active, INCREMNT follows it and pre-fills weights for every exercise based on what you've done before. No more scrolling through old notes to figure out where you left off.

Yes. Pull-ups, dips, push-ups and other bodyweight movements are tracked by reps rather than weight. INCREMNT knows the difference and handles PRs accordingly — your pull-up record is your best rep count, not a meaningless e1RM calculation. Weighted bodyweight exercises (like weighted pull-ups) are handled separately too.

INCREMNT uses estimated one-rep max (e1RM) to compare performances across different rep ranges. So if you bench 100 kg for 5 reps one week and 90 kg for 8 reps the next, it can tell you which was actually the better performance. This means you get credit for PRs even when you're not maxing out. For bodyweight exercises, PRs are simply your best rep count.

Everything you need mid-workout: log sets, see your current exercise with the suggested weight, run the rest timer, and check your progress. The Watch syncs with your iPhone in real-time, so you can leave your phone in your bag and just glance at your wrist between sets. It's the fastest way to track without breaking your flow.

It works best when your iPhone is nearby (via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi), but it won't lose your data if you wander out of range. Any sets you log while disconnected are queued on the Watch and synced back to your phone automatically once the connection is restored. No sets lost.

On your device, and only your device. Workouts, programs, and settings are stored locally on your phone. Nothing leaves your device unless you explicitly turn on Cloud Sync, which uploads your data so you can access it from the CLI and web dashboard. There's no account required to use the app.

Cloud Sync is an optional feature that uploads your workout data to INCREMNT's servers so you can access it beyond your phone. It unlocks the CLI, the web dashboard, and AI coaching features. Sign in with Apple or Google, and your sessions sync automatically in the background after each workout. You can turn it off any time in Settings — the app works fully without it.

No. Never. Your data is never sold, never shared with advertisers, and never used for marketing. There are no ads in the app. Analytics are entirely opt-in and anonymous — we can't even link them back to you. See the privacy policy for the full picture, but the short version is: your training data is yours.

Yes. If you use Cloud Sync, you can delete your account and all server-side data from Settings in the app, or by emailing support@incremnt.app. If you've never turned on Cloud Sync, there's nothing on our servers to begin with — uninstalling the app is all it takes.

Yes, and it's a two-way sync. INCREMNT reads body weight, heart rate, HRV, and sleep data from Apple Health to give you recovery context and prefill your profile. Completed workouts are written back to Health so they count toward your Activity rings and show up in your fitness summary. If you use AI coaching, health metrics you've opted into can inform the coach's insights too.

Yes. Connect your Strava account in Settings and your completed strength sessions will show up on Strava automatically. It's a nice way to keep a unified training log if you also run, cycle, or do other activities on Strava. Disconnect any time if you change your mind.

The INCREMNT CLI is a command-line tool for people who like their data accessible from a terminal. Install it with npm install -g incremnt, sign in, and you can query your workout history, check PRs, and inspect your current program without ever opening your phone. It also doubles as an MCP server, which means AI assistants like Claude can read your training data and answer questions about your progress.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI tools access your data with your permission. When you run the INCREMNT CLI as an MCP server, AI assistants like Claude can answer questions about your workouts, spot trends you might miss, and help you think through program changes — all grounded in your actual training history rather than generic advice.

AI Coach is an optional in-app feature that uses your actual workout data and health metrics to give you personalised training insights. After each session, it can generate a summary of what you did and how it fits into your bigger picture. You can also ask it questions — things like "should I deload this week?", "how's my bench progressing?", or "am I training legs enough?" It requires Cloud Sync to be enabled.

Not OpenAI specifically — AI coaching requests are processed through OpenRouter, a third-party routing service that connects to various AI models. Your data is not stored beyond the request, not sold, and not used to train any AI models. You have full control over which data sources (workout history, sleep, HRV, etc.) the coach is allowed to see, and you can configure this in the app's AI Coach Settings.
