A design pass over the whole app, built around the numbers. The workout screen puts the set you are on first: its reps and weight large, one Done button, and rest as a clock. Supersets alternate one set at a time, with rest after each round instead of between the exercises. Home starts with your week, then the workout to do next with its Start button. The streak now counts weeks in a row with a workout, so a rest day no longer resets it. Stats looks back over 4, 12 or 26 weeks and compares them with the weeks before: volume, workouts or sets per week, your latest record on each lift, the estimated one-rep max of the lift you train most, and sets per muscle group. Warm-up sets no longer count towards volume. After a workout you see time, sets and volume against the last time you did the same program, any new records, and each exercise in one line. History is grouped by week and month, and search finds exercises as well as programs. New to the app? It asks which unit you lift in, offers Apple Health before your first workout instead of in the middle of it, and gets you to that workout: a program from the library, your history imported from another app, or a program of your own. Imported exercises now join the app's own where they are the same lift, so old records and new ones line up. If you lift in pounds, library programs start on weights you can load, in 5 lb steps. Fixed: the first launch after installing could crash.

The rest timer now keeps time while your phone is locked. It used to stop in your pocket and pick up where it left off when you unlocked, so a 90-second rest could run for several minutes. If you wear an Apple Watch, your watch now counts the rest down on its own as well. Your workout now shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with the workout clock, your sets and the rest counting down with a bar. When rest is over it says so, without you opening the app. The first time, iOS asks whether to allow it. Earlier versions were meant to show this and never did, because a setting was missing. That is fixed. On Apple Watch, the workout screen now fits on one screen. The workout clock sits beside the time, Done stands out from Skip, and during rest you see the seconds in a ring with your next set below it. Weights show in your unit, kg or lb, and match what the phone shows.

You can now turn crash reports off. It is in Settings under Privacy, and it takes effect straight away. Crash reports also carry less than before. They no longer include the names of your programs or exercises or any numbers from your workouts, and the app no longer sends anything when you open it. A report only goes out if something actually goes wrong. The Apple Watch widget now works on watchOS 10 and later. Before, it needed a much newer watchOS than the watch app itself.

Your last session now sits under every set. The weight and reps from the matching set, with one tap to use them again. Imported history counts, so it works from your first workout after switching apps. Corrections carry forward. Move set 1 to 65 kg and the rest of the exercise follows, instead of quietly reverting to the program target. Imports from Strong now keep their workout length instead of arriving as unfinished sessions that ask to be saved or discarded on every launch. Existing imports are repaired automatically. And before anything is saved, the import preview tells you exactly which rows cannot come across, so a partial import is something you choose rather than something you discover later.

A privacy-focused update. Crash reports never include screenshots, and there's no performance tracking on your device. One purchase, no subscription, and your data stays with you.

A small update, mostly under the hood. • More reliable on iPhones used without an Apple Watch. • A new "Also from IAMJARL" section in Settings, with my other pay-once apps. As always, one purchase, no subscription, and your data stays on your device.

• RPE tracking: log how hard each set felt (1–10, half steps allowed) and see it alongside reps and weight in your history. Included in CSV export and import. • Faster logging: tap any pending set to enter your actual weight and reps before marking it done. No more edit-after-the-fact.

Plate Calculator: tap the barbell on any exercise to see exactly which plates to load per side. • Import from Strong & Hevy: bring your whole training history over with a single CSV file. • Program Tags: organize your programs by goal or training block, and filter your list in a tap. • Reliability improvements for the Apple Watch companion.

Accessibility first. • VoiceOver now reads the workout timer, rest countdown and every set with clear context — "Mark Set 2 of Bench Press done" • Weekly plan tiles announce the day, whether it's today, and what's planned • Programs, exercises and history lists read as one element instead of fragments • Combined labels on dashboard cards so stats are spoken as a whole Under the hood, the active workout engine was rewritten to share logic with the upcoming Apple Watch companion. Same app, same data — now ready for your wr

Iron Workout is now Anvil Workout. Same app you've been using — same workouts, same programs, same data — just with a sharper name that better matches the strength-training focus. Why the change? We needed to expand to more App Store regions and the original name wasn't available worldwide. Anvil reflects what the app actually is: a tool for forging strength, one rep at a time. If you have the app installed, your existing data is preserved. Just update and keep training.
