Version History
GripLog App Icon
v1.5.3
October 2026 +
  • New: a starting test. Choose the calisthenics pack, pick what you want to train — front lever, back lever, planche, handstand or muscle-up, up to two, with the base always in — and take a short test on the regular workout screen
  • Your results build two workouts, PULL and PUSH, matched to where you are now. They are ordinary templates: edit them, rename them or delete them
  • Pick a day for your first workout after the test and GripLog reminds you on that day
  • The starting test doesn't use up one of your free workouts
  • Four new preset skill trees: Handstand, Muscle-up, Pull-ups and Dips. The ones you chose show up on Home right after the test, with the progress you already have
  • A skill tree level can now ask for reps with added weight, like 5 pull-ups at +20 kg. Pull-ups in the pack take weight too
  • Five easier variants join the pack — Pull-up Negatives, Incline Push-ups, Bench Dips, Chest-to-bar Pull-ups and Muscle-up Negatives — so it now holds 69 exercises. The four fixed starter workouts from 1.5.2 make way for your own PULL and PUSH
  • The free-workout counter only appears once two or fewer are left
  • Three more anonymous counts around the starting test — no identifier, nothing you type, none of your training data. The privacy policy lists every one
v1.5.2
October 9, 2026 +
  • New: four starter workouts. The calisthenics pack now comes with Pull 1, Pull 2, Push 1 and Push 2 — short, beginner-friendly sessions you can start from in one tap, and edit or delete like any template of your own
  • Scapular Raises join the calisthenics pack, which now holds 64 exercises
  • After setup you land where your first session starts: on the Workout screen if you loaded the pack, on your exercise library if you started empty
  • On an empty workout, Add Exercise is the button that stands out; Finish Workout stays in the background until you have ticked your first set
  • GripLog asks about notifications at the end of setup. If you allow them and haven't logged a workout yet, it reminds you twice at most — a day and four days later — then stays quiet. One switch in Settings turns reminders off
  • A few more anonymous counts of first steps — no identifier, nothing you type, none of your training data. The privacy policy lists every one
v1.5.1
October 2, 2026 +
  • GripLog now sends a handful of anonymous counts of how far new users get in their first days — first launch, setup finished, first workouts saved. Every count is sent at most once, under the same placeholder for every phone instead of an identifier, with nothing you type and none of your training data. The privacy policy lists every one
v1.5
October 1, 2026 +
  • New: resistance bands. Add the bands you own with their colour and resistance — a single value or a range, in your unit — then pick one on any set. The B in your history is tinted with the band you actually used
  • Bands travel with your training: templates remember them, the Apple Watch cycles through them instead of showing a grid, and exports and the shared workout card carry them too. A band you snap leaves the picker but stays on every set you already logged
  • VoiceOver now covers every screen on iPhone and Apple Watch — context, values, traits and rotor headings, charts summarised in words instead of silent grids, and a spoken announcement when rest is over
  • French, Italian, Russian and Ukrainian join the app, nine languages in all. The Watch's German, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese were quietly falling back to English and are now complete
  • A workout is filed under the day you trained, not the day you closed it. A session left open overnight used to land on the wrong date and skew the weekly goal, the streak and lapse reminders — the finish confirmation now tells you which date it will land on
  • Records in Analytics now show when you last set them, not the first time you reached them
  • Your workout is confirmed written to the database before the draft is cleared, and workout duration is recorded
  • The exercise detail card was rebuilt to answer questions rather than count things, the calendar shows up to five category dots instead of three, and 1,300 lines of dead code are gone
  • Fixed: date word order in every non-English language, English words leaking into localised goal messages, goal notifications, stale statistics, weight-goal units, buttons that announced themselves to VoiceOver and then did nothing, and Watch input labels wrapping onto a second line
v1.4.3
September 7, 2026 +
  • Setup is now two screens instead of six, and the app picks its language from your phone — no more choosing before you have seen anything
  • The calisthenics pack (7 categories, 63 exercises with hold, raise and negative progressions) is now the default way to start. Every exercise stays yours to rename, edit or delete — Blank Canvas is still one tap away
  • After setup you land on your exercise library, so you can see what you actually have
  • New: workout reminders. Opt in and GripLog nudges you when you fall behind the weekly goal you set. Two nudges at most, then it stays quiet until you train again. Off by default, one switch in Settings → Notifications
  • The weekly goal is now asked after your first workout, not before it
  • GripLog no longer asks for notification permission on launch. It asks the first time you start a rest timer, where the permission actually does something
  • The free tier is now 5 logged workouts. Your full history, statistics, calendar and data export stay free and readable forever, with or without a subscription
  • The subscription screen now also appears on launch if you were already past the free limit — previously it never showed for returning users
  • Fixed the rating prompt firing behind the workout summary screen, where it could never actually appear
v1.4
July 20, 2026 +
  • Custom app icons — pick from 10 calisthenics figures in Settings: planche, front & back lever, human flag, pistol squat, one-arm work and more
  • Lock Screen widget — your training heatmap and streak, right on the lock screen
  • Skill tree detail now shows a progress chart and your best result on every level you've cleared
  • Skill trees can carry a calisthenics icon, and your chosen app icon now signs the workout card you share
  • Fixed skill-unlock notifications not firing when you clear levels out of order
  • The workout card now reports honestly if saving to your gallery fails, and asks only for add-only photo access
  • Charts no longer block scrolling — tap a point to read its value
  • The app is now dark-only for a consistent look
v1.3.1
July 3, 2026 +
  • Extended the free trial from 10 to 20 workouts before a subscription is required
  • Fixed workout-count goals being capped at 30 — you can now set targets up to 999
  • Fixed Polish translations for the "Push" and "Pull" categories
  • Fixed personal records not registering for bodyweight sets (e.g. muscle-ups with no added weight)
v1.3
March 19, 2026 +
  • Home screen widgets — activity heatmap and streak counter in dark & light variants
  • Redesigned onboarding — new "Blank Canvas" philosophy introduction with goal setup on first launch
  • Workout summary screen — share card with workout stats shown after finishing a workout
  • PR push notifications — get notified when you set personal records after finishing a workout
  • Band-aware custom timer — choose whether band-assisted sets use exercise timer or global timer
  • Streak counter on home screen — visible next to the date header
v1.2.2
March 10, 2026 +
  • Added per-exercise rest timer — set custom rest duration for each exercise, defaults to global setting
  • Removed completion alert after finishing last set in an exercise — smoother workout flow
  • After finishing a workout, user is now redirected to the Calendar section
  • Added shareable workout card — save to gallery or share your workout summary
v1.2
February 15, 2026 +
  • Added support for new languages: Polish, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese
  • Fixed several UI bugs

  • Goals now correctly respect the band-assisted sets setting

  • Done button above the keyboard now reliably appears every time
  • Improved tap targets and spacing for set action buttons
  • Input steppers for combined exercises have more breathing room
