About Reps & Sets

Hi, I’m Graham, the developer of Reps & Sets.

I’ve been tracking my fitness with Apple devices since 2008, starting with the Nike+iPod Sport Kit. It handled my runs beautifully, but it couldn’t log strength training with the same detail and polish.

Around the same time, Apple launched the App Store. As a designer, I was fascinated by the tools Apple was offering developers. I wanted to build an app myself, and the idea was obvious: a strength-training log.

Reps & Sets first launched in 2012, created together with my husband, who’s a software engineer. It was among the earliest strength-training apps on iPhone. We maintained it for years, but as Apple’s platforms evolved, one thing became clear: we needed to rebuild it using modern technologies.

My husband was busy on other projects, and I thought there was no way I could do it all myself. But thanks to Swift Playgrounds, WWDC sessions, and some experimentation with GPT and Claude, I realized I was actually making progress. It was equal parts terrifying and addictive, and it worked. Reps & Sets 26 is the result of that complete rebuild.

Right now, the app is free to use. If it takes off, I plan to introduce an optional supporter tier with extra perks, while keeping the core experience accessible.
