I want to incorporate lifting into my health plan, but I have one massive problem: I simply refuse to train consistently if I have to manage any part of the workout myself.

I’ve tried every tracking app, planner, and AI trainer on the market. They all require too much brain power between sets — remembering last week’s weights, deciding what to load today, counting reps, holding perfect tempo, checking my own form, etc. The moment I have to think, my adherence collapses.

What I (and I believe thousands of other lifters) actually need is an app that lets me be completely mentally checked out the entire session from the second I open it until I hit the shower.

The exact experience I want:

  • Open the app → it immediately tells me the first exercise and exactly how much weight to load (e.g. “Deadlift – load 315 lbs today”).
  • Very first session only: I input my starting weights.
  • Every session after that: the app automatically calculates and tells me the precise weight based on progressive overload and my actual past performance.
  • Phone camera (on a tripod or propped up) tracks reps automatically with computer vision.
  • It sends precise audio tones straight to my earbuds for perfect tempo (e.g. tone = start the lift, tone = pause at the top, tone = controlled descent).
  • Real-time form feedback: gentle alert on sloppy reps, or tells me to stop the set entirely if form breaks down badly or I hit true muscle failure.
  • When the set is done, it instantly moves to the next exercise and tells me the exact weight again.
  • It handles the full weekly programming for me (based on my goals, available time, recovery, etc.).

It must work equally well in a commercial gym or a home setup — it only needs to see me moving.

I don’t want equity, credit, revenue share, a discount on the subscription, or anything else. I will happily pay full price every month. I just desperately want this product to exist so I (and everyone else who hates the mental overhead) can finally train consistently without the friction that kills progress.

If you’re a developer, indie hacker, or fitness-tech founder who wants to build something that serious lifters would become extremely loyal to, this is it.

Thanks for reading — someone please build this.
