Updates

Version 1.0.2 September 3, 2026

The biggest update since launch.

Apple Intelligence (Steel Pro, on supported iPhones)

• Ask questions about your own training and get an answer from your logged numbers. A short debrief after each session. A routine review when you ask for one, and a heads-up when your numbers suggest an easier week. It all runs on your iPhone — nothing is sent anywhere.

Siri and Shortcuts

• Start a routine, log a set, finish a workout or check your strength score, hands-free.

Apple Watch

• A companion app that starts with your workout, captures heart rate and calories, and shows your rest timer on your wrist.

Widgets and Lock Screen

• Home Screen widgets for your next session, your streak and an eight-week volume chart. Tick off a set straight from the Lock Screen — and the end-of-rest chime is now loud enough to hear over your music, on silent.

Challenges

• Start a private challenge with friends, or join a public one. Invite people directly instead of passing a code around.

Shared routines

• Publish a routine for anyone to copy, browse what others have shared, and take yours down whenever you like.

Plan your training

• A weekly planner with a month calendar view, so you can see how your rest days fall before the week starts. Train on a day you had not planned and it goes on the calendar anyway — the month shows what you actually did, not only what you meant to do.

Edit what you logged

• Change a workout after it is saved — reorder exercises by dragging, fix numbers, or log a session you forgot.

Also in this update

• A strength score graded against a standards table you choose
• A new app icon, with dark and tinted variants
• Rebuilt tab bar and share cards for reports and workouts
• Remove unwanted comments from your own posts
• Faster exercise list, and a planner that updates the moment you change it
• Your next session on Home and in the widget, with how long since you last trained it
• Dozens of fixes to logging accuracy, the rest timer and the Live Activity

Version 1.0.1 August 6, 2026

Challenges, properly

• Invite people by name instead of passing round a code — invites show up in your notifications, with Join or Ignore right there
• Public challenges: make one open to anyone, or find one to join in the new Discover tab
• Pick the exact dates a challenge runs, not just "7 days from today"
• Challenges now have their own place on Community and Home, instead of being buried

Ask your training data (Steel Pro)

• A coach that reads your actual history: ask what to do next, have a routine reviewed, or get told when to deload
• Runs entirely on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence — nothing leaves the device

Edit a logged workout

• Fix the sets, weights, date or notes on any past workout. If you shared it, the post updates too

More

• Siri and Shortcuts: start a routine, log a set or finish a workout by asking
• Attach photos to a workout from the finish screen
• Notifications now live on Home as well as Community
• A new tab bar, and the iOS 26 look on the surfaces that float over your content
• Tell the app what's at a new gym, and exercise search ranks by what people actually lift

Fixed

• Canceling or discarding a workout no longer leaves it in Apple Fitness, and workouts no longer appear there twice
• Activity no longer offers to follow people you already follow
• Restoring a backup into existing history settles PR badges correctly
• Assisted and timed sets survive the workout editor
• Headers across the app no longer sit too far down the screen
