For iPhone
Squared Paper
The squared notebook people kept in their gym bag before smartwatches — as an app. Plan your sessions, then log what you actually did.
No watch to charge. No account to make. Nothing to subscribe to. It does not count your steps, guess your heart rate or tell you how you slept. It remembers what you lifted.

Plans
Built the way you actually train
A plan is not a flat list of exercises. It is groups, and a group repeats. So a superset is one group of two exercises repeated four times — which is what you do — rather than four sets of one thing followed by four sets of another, which is not.
Each step carries only the fields that matter to it:
- Sets, reps, weight — for the ones you count
- Duration and distance — for the ones you don’t
- Rest, and a note in your own words
Leave the rest blank. A 60-minute Zone 2 ride is one step with a duration on it, and it does not want a rep count.
The log
A record, not a leaderboard
Import a plan into today’s session and it becomes a starting point you can change — because the session you planned and the session you did are rarely the same, and the one worth keeping is the second one.
The month view marks every day you trained. Nothing is scored, ranked, or compared against anybody. There are no streaks to break.
Appearance
Four themes, and one of them is paper
Squared Paper is the one it is named after: a ruled, grained off-white page with the writing in a hand, and the figures still lined up one to a square — which is what squared paper is for.
Night is near-black with a single gold accent. Sunset Grid and Neon Noir are 1986 on the drive home: a sun on the horizon and a grid running away to a vanishing point.
Every theme is measured against 28 contrast pairs before it ships, including what happens when a letter lands on a ruling. A theme that cannot be read is not a theme.
Your data
On your iPhone, and nowhere else by default
No account, ever
There is nothing to sign up for, so there is no profile, no password and no server holding your training.
iCloud, if you want it
Sync is a switch you control, and it goes to your private iCloud. The developer cannot see it. Turn it off and the app says plainly what it cannot remove for you.
Apple Health, only if asked
Off until you turn it on. It writes your workouts; it never reads anything of yours, and asks for no permission to.
Your backup is a file
Export everything as plain JSON, wherever you like. It is readable, it is yours, and it imports back.
No analytics
No tracking, no advertising identifiers, no third-party kits counting what you tap.
Works on a plane
Everything is on the device. A gym basement with no signal is a normal place to use it.
The privacy policy says the same thing at length, and names exactly what Apple Health receives.
