I’m a regular gym goer, but keeping track of my weights across various exercises like deadlifts, squats, presses and the like is a hassle. What’s my latest PR? What’s a reasonable weight to start at?

Squatbuddy scratches the itch. All the features I need, none I don’t. And it’s being used by people at my gym!

HomeKeeper task maintenance app
