Compare an ordinary logging session
Try entering a routine, sets, weight and reps, then finding the previous session. Ironcraft supports routines or empty workouts, previous-set references, kg or lb and an optional Apple Watch app. Choose by the records you need and the entry workflow you can maintain.
Check the source and date
We checked both US App Store listings on 29 October 2026. Competitor descriptions here are attributed developer listing claims, not independent tests. Check the linked listings for current access, device requirements and terms; a feature omitted here should not be assumed absent.
Check data control before moving history
Ironcraft imports supported workout CSV formats with a preview and exports data as CSV; check its import screen for formats. Logs stay on your iPhone and Apple Watch, and the publisher cannot see or restore them. Keep an encrypted backup. Optional food lookups send search words or a barcode and request IP address to Open Food Facts; read the privacy policy for its visitor-log purposes and retention limits.
Separate logging from preparation
Ironcraft is a log, not a prep plan. Free includes one active event; Pro adds unlimited events and the phase planner, as well as the meal planner, recipes and grocery list. A countdown or logging feature does not promise training results.
Availability and languages
Ironcraft is for adults 18 and older on iPhone with iOS 18 or later; its optional Apple Watch app requires watchOS 11 or later. Available in 143 countries and regions, excluding China mainland, Russia, the EU, Iceland, Norway and the United Kingdom. The app interface is English; translated guides do not change app language or regional availability. Check your local App Store.

Can I move workout history into Ironcraft?
Export a CSV from your current app and check the supported formats in Ironcraft Settings. Review the import preview before saving; CSV export alone does not guarantee format compatibility.
Does basic Ironcraft logging require Pro?
No. Workout and food logging and one active event are included on Free. Pro adds extras; check current plans before buying.
Are these independent app tests?
No. The competitor descriptions come from the linked App Store listings checked on 29 October 2026. Ironcraft details come from its product information; this is a publisher-authored comparison.
