The number at the bar, adjusted for what you ate.
Most training apps are a filing cabinet. You put numbers in and they hand the same numbers back. Atlas reads them and tells you what to load next — and it reads your food and your strength as one thing, because your body does.
Pre-release. Being used daily by the person who wrote it.
Four sessions, one rule, nothing to decide.
This is the real progression rule running. Add reps until you reach the top of your range, then the weight goes up and you start again at the bottom. Watch the bar move on its own.
A simulation of the real rule, not a video.
Session 1 — inside the range
You got 6 reps last time and the range is 5–8. There is room left, so the bar does not move — Atlas asks for one more rep instead.
- It never invents a number. No history for a lift? It asks what you lifted rather than guessing a starting weight.
- Deloads round down. Two sessions under the bottom of your range and the bar comes off — to a weight you can actually load.
- Your plates, your jump. Microplates move you 1.25 kg. It never suggests a weight you cannot build.
Three things that read the log back to you.
Recording is the easy half. These are the parts that turn a log into an instruction — and they are why a neighbouring tracker cannot copy this by adding a screen.
Progression
Decides the next set from your own history, in your own units, down to the plates you actually own.
Strength trend
Fits a line through your estimated one-rep max per muscle group. Gap weeks are left out rather than counted as zero.
Coach
Reads calorie balance, weight rate, strength trend and logging consistency together, and returns one recommendation.
Both halves, one app.
Food tracking is not a bolt-on. It is the input the coach reads when it tells you whether a stalled lift is your programming or your deficit.
Screens are the real app running against seeded data, not mockups.
Five accents. Change this page with one.
The app ships all five, each a light and a dark pair that clears the contrast floor. This page wears the same palette — pick one.
What you should know before it ships.
- Your data stays on your phone. No accounts, no backend, no servers. Nothing to breach, and nothing for anyone to sell.
- Food search leaves the device, and only that. A search term or a scanned barcode goes to Open Food Facts, USDA FoodData Central and fatsecret. Nothing else does.
- No advertising, no analytics, no trackers. Not a policy we could quietly reverse — there is no pipe for it to travel down.
- Apple Health is optional. Read-only, used on the device, never transmitted. The app works without it.
- It is not finished. No App Store listing, no TestFlight yet, and a rest timer is still on the list.
Built for one lifter first.
Atlas is used daily by the person who wrote it, which is the only reason it says no to as much as it does. TestFlight opens to a small group first. Ask, and you are on the list.
Goes straight to Mark. No list, no sequence, no newsletter — what happens to it.
