Tired of gym apps charging $10/mo just to log sets, so I spent 48 hours building my own native iOS tracker. 100% free, local storage only, zero ads.

Hey r/apps. Every single gym tracker on the App Store has turned into bloated subscription-ware charging $10–$15 a month just to log basic sets or lock rest timers behind a paywall. I got fed up with it, so over the weekend I built **Pace** which is a fast, native, local-first workout tracker built to give control back to the user. # Key Features & Architecture **100% Native Swift UI:** Super fast, responsive, and lightweight. Zero lag when typing or switching sets in the gym. **Privacy-First / Device-Only Storage:** Your workout history, custom routines, and progress photo vault stay strictly on your local device disk. No cloud databases, no tracking scripts, no external servers. **Built-in Customization:** Complete dark mode appearance engine (Pace Gradient, Night, Green, Blue, Orange, Pink, Yellow) and custom muscle group target heatmaps. **No Account Required:** Open the app and start logging instantly. Zero signup friction. **Completely Free:** No subscriptions, no ads, no locked features. # Current Progress & What's Next The app is fully functional and running locally on iPhone right now. I'm polishing up the final tap targets and navigation transitions before shipping the launch build this Friday! I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any specific features/exercise presets you’d like to see included in the launch release!
