An event countdown alongside your training log
Yes, an event countdown and a training log can share one app, or you can keep the event date separately and log sessions in a notebook. Ironcraft combines a show, meet, race or photo-shoot countdown with workout logging on iPhone and optional Apple Watch.

Compare the approaches
| Approach | Useful for | Limit or tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Event date plus a notebook | Keep the date and training notes in a format you control. | You calculate days or weeks remaining and connect the records yourself. |
| Ironcraft Free | Log workouts and count down to one active event in days and weeks out. | One active event is the free limit; the countdown is a record, not a preparation plan. |
| Ironcraft Pro | Adds unlimited events, the phase planner and more widgets. | Pro is paid; confirm the current App Store terms and whether those extras fit your use. |
Choose the event and date
Decide whether you are tracking a show, meet, race or photo shoot and verify its date. In Ironcraft, use one active event on Free; compare Pro only if you need more events or its phase planner.
Pair the countdown with a repeatable log
Start a workout from a routine or an empty session and log sets, reps and weight. Review previous-set references rather than treating the remaining days as a training recommendation.
Choose where to see the countdown
Ironcraft supports milestone reminders, widgets and a Live Activity on event day. Check the current plan details for widget access; Pro adds more widgets. Keep the event date available separately as well.
