your hands.

A set ends with chalk on your hands. Four ways to log it that cover each other's gaps.

NodPhone on the bench. AirPods on, screen awake.
Lock ScreenPhone in a pocket. The Live Activity keeps DONE within reach.
Double TapPhone in a locker. Double Tap, on a watch that has it.

Apple Watch

in the locker.

The watch runs the session. The plan, the clock, every set, the rest timer. It ships inside the app.

Do I need an account?No. Everything stays on your phone, and the export button hands you all of it.
What counts as failure?No reps left. Not close to it. That number is what progression reads.
Is the watch app a separate purchase?No. It ships inside the iPhone app, free.
Does the watch work without the phone?Yes. Sets queue on the wrist and land when the two are back in range.
Can I use kilos?Yes, rounded to real plate and stack increments, so a converted pound never shows up.
I paid on the web. How does the app know?The receipt page has an Open 2Failure button that activates Pro on that phone, and a code you can type into the app under Settings, 2Failure Pro, I already paid.
