Principled Fitness
Maximize your fitness outcomes
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
See what you've trained, and what you've skipped.
Principled opens to a muscle map of your own body. Every set you log this week lights up the muscles it worked: green means you hit your weekly target for that muscle, amber is partial, dark is untouched. Tap any group to see its parts, what trained it, and what to work next, so you're not guessing whether you've been skipping legs or back.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT, NO ACCOUNT
- No login, no email, no sign-up. Open the app and start on three tabs: Train, Body, Fuel.
- Your data lives on your device, not on our servers.
- Export everything to JSON any time. "Erase all data" wipes it in one tap.
- Apple Health is opt-in and asked for only when you need it. Reads (weight, body fat, steps, VO2 max, heart rate, other apps' workouts) are display-only and never leave your phone. Finished workouts get written back to Apple Health so they sync across your devices through Apple's own encrypted transport. The app works fully even if you never connect it.
- No ads, no third-party ad SDKs, no advertising identifiers. Nothing here tracks you. Diagnostics are anonymous and crash reports are scrubbed of personal data.
- Not a medical device. Coaching, not diagnosis.
TRAIN
- Fast set logging with prefilled repeat rows and per-exercise kg or lb.
- Automatic PR detection: estimated 1-rep max (e1RM) and rep PRs, with per-exercise history and charts.
- A rest timer with a Live Activity and Dynamic Island countdown.
- On-device form check. Point the camera at a lift for a posture score and cues. The video never leaves your phone.
- Voice logging, workout discovery, and save-as-template or one-tap repeat.
FUEL
- Full macros against your own pinned targets, with a one-tap protein quick-add.
- Log meals four ways: barcode scan, on-device nutrition-label scan, search, or by hand.
- Barcode and nutrition lookups use Open Food Facts. Only the barcode or your query is sent, nothing personal.
- Energy balance against your Apple Health activity burn.
- Track supplements as simple daily adherence.
BODY
- Pin the metrics you care about (weight, protein, steps, body fat, VO2 max) and set outcome goals with live progress.
- A fat-distribution lens and honest, evidence-based guidance: train a muscle once a week to keep it, twice to grow it.
APPLE WATCH
- Live heart rate during strength work, and cardio recording, right on your wrist.
Free. iPhone, iOS 17 and later.
Ratings & Reviews
The Glow. Your muscle map now reads the last 7 days instead of resetting every Monday — train Sunday, still lit Monday morning. And it works both ways: hit a muscle hard 4+ days in a week and it heats up. Optimized — rest extends the glow.
Also in this release:
• Strength trend, honest: your PR line with per-day best dots — no more confusing decay curve.
• Burpees now credit your chest, and the kettlebell swing muscle map got corrected. Existing logs recount automatically.
• If a save ever fails, you'll see a calm heads-up and nothing is lost.
• Faster history and PR lookups on big logs.
