First RepAn Ardenholt programARDENHOLT · EST. 2026

§ X — The screens

What it looks like
on your phone.

One plate, and a plain account of everything else — including the screens that are not here, and why one of them was taken down.

The First Rep home screen: today's set count set large, the three lifts of the session marked beneath it, a week of small bars, the running count of days and the week's total, the two most recent entries, and one full-width button to log a set.
Today's page

There was a second plate here

It showed a subscription sheet with three prices on it. Not one of those figures matched what ships, so the plate came down rather than being edited into something more careful.

The real figures are on the front page in words: logging is free, and the optional subscription is $2.99 a month or $19.99 a year with a 7-day free trial.

What is on the first screen

  • Today's set count, large, with the five lifts as one-tap chips beneath it.
  • A week of small bars, the running count of days kept, and the week's total; it is a record, not a scoreboard.
  • A next-squat figure worked from your last squat, so that number is never a guess.
  • The last few sets you logged, in the order you racked them.
  • One button to log a set, because a log you have to navigate to is a log that goes stale by Thursday.

And behind it

  • History, insights, and a calendar of every session you have logged.
  • A home-screen widget, a watch app, a Siri phrase, and one optional reminder at an hour you choose.
  • An export of everything you have logged to CSV, because it is your record and it should be able to leave.

What is deliberately absent

No food log, no calorie target, no weigh-in field, and no photograph of anybody's torso. No feed, no leaderboard, no other lifter, and no way for a person you know to see what you lifted.

No supplement store and no affiliate links, so nothing on any screen has a commercial reason to recommend a product to you. No ads at all.

Where it stands

Not yet released. It is built for iPhone on iOS 17 and later, with the training log held on your device and synced through your own private iCloud — Apple's, not ours — which is why we cannot read it or be asked for it.

Enter the register and we write once, on the day it ships. How it works is the method in four steps.
