Fixed a crash in the label scanner for anyone using LiftCortex in Bengali, Hindi, Urdu or Simplified Chinese — the photo view could close in the middle of a scan. It doesn't anymore. Still no account, still no subscription. Your data stays yours.

LiftCortex 2.1 makes the app read like it was written in your language — and adds a reference we thought hard about before shipping. NEW — SUPPLEMENT GUIDE An offline reference to the published research on 67 supplements lifters ask about, across 9 areas. Every entry carries an evidence tier, and the tier grades how strong the research is — not how good the supplement is. Plenty land on "Emerging / Mixed", and some on "Ineffective / Caution". The guide says so plainly. Each entry cites its sources — journal, authors, year — so you can go and read them yourself instead of taking our word for it. LiftCortex and its creators don't suggest or endorse taking any supplement, and never will. No brands, no shopping links, no affiliates — ingredients only. It's for educational purposes and it isn't medical advice; consult a doctor or nutritionist before starting or changing anything. YOUR LANGUAGE, ON THE GYM FLOOR All 190 exercises in the library now read in your language — the names lifters actually say, not literal translations. So do all 531 form cues, the short technique reminders under each lift. They were written the way a coach talks mid-set, so they were translated that way too: by native speakers, in each language's own gym vocabulary. Search understands both, so typing either the local name or the English one finds the lift, and the list now sorts in your language instead of English's. The guide's safety notices — including the part that says this isn't medical advice — are written in every language the app speaks. Everything still stays on your device. No account, no subscription, your data stays yours. Thank you for the feedback that shaped this release — keep it coming.

LiftCortex 2.0 is our biggest update yet — and it's still the same fast, private companion. Everything stays on your device. No account, no subscription, your data stays yours. NEW — PROGRESS A whole new tab that shows where you're headed: progression bars, weekly and monthly recaps, your biggest movers, longer trend charts, and lifetime milestones. Hide the metrics you don't care about. CELEBRATIONS The app now cheers the wins that matter — personal records, week-after-week consistency, comebacks, and lifetime milestones — with a celebration scaled to the size of the moment. BUILD YOUR TRAINING Browse a full exercise library by muscle and build a split with live muscle-coverage as you go. Log warm-ups, drop sets, rest-pause, failure, and supersets. Advanced options let you set rest once for the whole split or per exercise, choose how many sets each exercise starts with, and track machine settings. SMARTER WORKOUTS Pause and resume a session without losing your time. Quick-fill last time's weight and reps. Finish to a review that calls out PRs — including a new heaviest lift, even for fewer reps — rep gains, and how your pace compared to your average. MACROS MADE EASY Scan a nutrition label with your camera and we'll fill in the calories and macros for you — read entirely on your device, nothing uploaded. Log a multi-ingredient meal as one tidy entry. Work out the macros for exactly the amount you ate — grams, ounces, or milliliters — and drop the result straight into a new entry. Tap your calories ring to see how much protein, carbs, and fat you have left for the day. BODY WEIGHT Clean weekly and monthly trend lines that smooth out the daily noise so you can see the real direction. Under the hood: a stronger safety net for your data, sharper visuals, and polish throughout. Thank you for the feedback that shaped this release — keep it coming.

Built from your feedback. Your workout session now keeps progress pinned at the top as you scroll, counts only the exercises you mean to do, and lets you skip or swap an exercise mid-session — and it remembers each machine's setting for next time. The muscle map reads clearer than ever: brighter active muscles, a gentle pulse, and an option to show real anatomical names. Log your bodyweight right from the Workouts tab, and the macro dashboard is easier to read at a glance. Same fast, private companion — your data stays yours. No subscription, no clutter.

Your training history is safer than ever. LiftCortex now backs up automatically to your private iCloud, keeps dated snapshots you can browse and restore from, and saves a backup file straight to Files or iCloud Drive — showing the date, size, and contents before any restore. Backups now cover your bodyweight log and serving sizes too. Same fast, private companion — your data stays yours. No subscription, no clutter.

A polish pass, especially on bigger screens: Workouts, Macros, your full logs, and onboarding now sit in a comfortable centered reading column instead of stretching edge-to-edge — plus small refinements throughout. Same fast, private training companion — your data stays on your device. No subscription, no clutter.

Now in your language — and it knows your muscles. The whole app now speaks your language, not just the menus: onboarding, every picker, the muscle-map labels, empty states, streak banners, relative times, counts, and the founder story — all natively translated across 11 languages, with correct plurals. Type an exercise in your own language and the body map lights up the right muscles. See what you train. Every exercise now shows the muscles it works on a detailed anatomical figure — in the routine editor, live during a session, and unioned into an "Areas worked" summary when you finish. Your numbers over time. New trend charts for body weight, calories per day against your target, and estimated 1RM per lift. Body weight stays on your device. Set up around your goal. Onboarding asks your goal and suggests daily macro targets, recommended starter routines, and an optional event countdown. The optional biometrics step never leaves your device. Plus a redesigned plate calculator with 3D competition plates and bar presets, and EU consent handling for personalized ads. No subscription. Train with focus.

Your streak. Your numbers. The Sessions home now opens with your momentum: a workout-streak banner counting the days you've shown up, a week-at-a-glance activity stripe, and lifetime totals — sessions logged, total volume moved, and your best estimated 1RM. The plate calculator got a finish to match the math — a clean isometric barbell with competition-color plates, real spring-clip collars, and an optional plate-clink sound + haptic as you load each side (toggle in Settings). Same one-tap logging. No subscription. Train with focus.

Bigger Library. More icons. Same one tap. The food Library grew from 1,100 to 2,000+ — sports nutrition (Quest, RXBAR, Built, Barebells, Fairlife, Premier, LMNT, Liquid IV, GU, Honey Stinger, ON, MyProtein), restaurant + chain meals (Chipotle, Sweetgreen, Cava, Panera, Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, In-N-Out, Wendy's), athlete home cooking (egg scrambles, overnight oats, rice bowls, smoothies, stir-fries), and lifter-niche staples (cottage cheese variants, Greek yogurt brands, lean ground meats by lean %, whey iso vs concentrate vs hydrolysate). Every food now has its own icon — bars, shakes, bowls, gels, electrolytes, eggs, fruits read at a glance. Tap one and the icon rides through into your log. Realistic serving sizes throughout — "1 medium banana," "1 bowl," "1 scoop," "1 packet" — not just "100g". Every new food, native to your language across all 11 supported locales.

Library, your way. Tap Library in Add Entry to pull from 1,100+ lifter-focused foods — chicken, oats, whey, rice, dairy, world cuisine — with serving sizes filled in for you. Macros land in one tap, so logging stays out of your way. Every food now reads in your language. We localized the entire library — names and search synonyms — across all 10 supported languages, so you can search "pollo," "куриная грудка," or "鸡胸肉" and find the same thing. Make the macro screen yours. Drag to reorder protein, carbs, and fats. Turn off the ones you don't track. The top macro becomes the hero — your dial, your priorities. Plus: nutrition-style serving sizes everywhere, a cleaner Today's Log, a polished hero card with overshoot rings that show how far past goal you went, and a Mac crash fix.

Quality-of-life pass. Better use of space, faster moves between tabs, and a fresher look for your macros. MORE ROOM TO BREATHE - Search moved off the always-on bar to a tap-to-open icon. Less clutter, more list. - Macro log rows tightened so meal names get the spotlight. - Plate calculator silhouette redone — proper sleeves, spring clip, no wasted padding. FRESH ON MACROS - Activity-style rings — one ring per macro, all on one card. - New "Macro Rings" Home Screen widget for today's totals at a glance. FASTER - New + button on Workouts opens a chooser: build your own or grab one (or several) from starter routines. - Search results are actionable — Play to start a session, + to log another meal, edit countdowns straight from the row. Taps jump you to the right tab with your row centered. SMALL WINS - "Splits" are now "Routines" — same thing, clearer name. - "Show hints" toggle hides tip banners across the app. FIXED - Meal icons sometimes drew as a "?" box on iOS 26. Squashed.

A focused quality-of-life pass on top of 1.2.0. Less mental math during your workout, less arithmetic between sets, and a tighter macro log. PLATE CALCULATOR - Tap the plate icon next to any weight field on the run-workout screen to build a load by tapping plates. A side-on bar silhouette fills up live, scaled to real-world plate sizes. - "Pairs" toggle (default on) loads both sides at once; flip it off for asymmetric setups. - Long-press a loaded plate for Remove 1 / 2 / all options. - New standalone Calculator utility outside the workout flow: a scale icon next to Sessions (or to the left of Settings on the iOS 18 tab bar), plus a new Home Screen widget that opens it in one tap. - Hide the shortcut entirely in Settings → Calculator. ADD MACROS, SHRUNK - Units now live in each row title (Calories (kcal), Protein (g)) so entry rows are tighter — more macros visible without scrolling. - Today's log line is one cleaner sentence: "2 servings = 320 kcal · P 12g · C 40g · F 10g" instead of repeating "(2x = X)" per macro. - Inline +1 / +10 / +100 bumps on the focused row replace the old keyboard accessory bar. ONBOARDING - Pick starter splits to seed your routines (Push / Pull / Legs / Upper / Full Body) or skip to set them up yourself. - Pick a background mode (Light / Dark / System). Fresh installs default to Dark. - Pick your weight units (lbs / kg / System). Defaults to System — your device locale picks the right one. OTHER - "Use system" weight unit reads your device's measurement system; new installs default to it. - Privacy footer on Settings → iCloud Backup spells out that backups go straight to your private iCloud — never to us. - New Settings → About Us → Send Feedback opens a prefilled mail to the LiftCortex team. FIX - Resolves a launch crash on iOS 26 when the App Store update check ran off the main actor.
