About & Feedback
PRGRS is built by lifters, for lifters — with no VC money, no ads, and no hidden agenda.
PRGRS
Free · On-device · iOS 17+
The app is listed as PRGRES on the Apple App Store — it's the same app as PRGRS.
PRGRS started from a simple frustration: every decent workout tracker either charges a monthly subscription for features that should be standard, or it sells your data to advertisers. Neither felt right.
The result is a full-featured workout tracker — live timer, exercise library, progress charts, gamification, HealthKit integration — that runs entirely on your iPhone or iPad. It's completely free: no subscription, no ads, no account.
Built with SwiftUI and SwiftData, using only Apple frameworks. No third-party dependencies, no telemetry, no ads.
Who builds PRGRS
PRGRS is designed, built, and maintained by Baris Yakali, an independent iOS developer based in the Netherlands — and a lifter who got tired of paying monthly for apps that log sets and reps on a phone that can do it for free.
There's no company, no investors, and no growth targets behind the app — just one person shipping updates every two weeks. Every article on the blog is written by the same person who writes the code. Questions or ideas? Use the feedback form on this page or email baris@prgrs.app.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRGRS really free?
Yes — the whole app, every feature, for free. PRGRS has zero server costs because everything runs on your device, so there's nothing for a subscription to pay for. No ads, no "Pro" tier, and no selling your data. If it helps you train, a quick review is the best way to support it.
Will features that are currently free ever become paid?
Never. If a feature exists in PRGRS today, it is free and will stay free. We will never move existing features behind a paywall. Any future content that requires extra cost will be clearly new and optional.
How often does the app update?
We ship updates on a bi-weekly cadence — new features, improvements, and bug fixes every two weeks. They're all free.
Is my data safe?
Your data never leaves your device. PRGRS uses SwiftData for local storage only. There are no analytics SDKs, no crash reporters phoning home, and no advertising frameworks. Your workouts are yours.
Can I export my data?
Yes — you can export all your workout history as a CSV at any time. You can also import from Hevy and Strong if you're migrating from another app.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Completely. PRGRS is built offline-first. Your workouts, history, charts, and gamification all work without Wi-Fi or cellular.
What iOS version do I need?
PRGRS requires iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 and later. It's built with SwiftUI and SwiftData, which are Apple's latest frameworks.
