W/UA training log for people who log in Notes

Log it like a note.
See last time.

Joey is a training log that works like the Notes app. Write "Bench 100x5x3" the way you always do, and last time, your estimated 1RM and your PRs show up at the end of the line.

SET 1Why Joey

Apps are slow to fill in. Notes can't look back.

Workout apps want a form filled in for every set, which is a lot to ask between sets. So plenty of lifters with a few years behind them log in Notes or a paper notebook.

But Notes can't tell you what you lifted last time, so you end up scrolling back through old notes. Joey keeps the writing the same and adds the numbers Notes can't give you.

SET 3How it works

Write the way you already do.

  1. 01

    Write your shorthand

    x or ×, kg or lb, commas or slashes. RPE, left and right sides, warm-ups, percentages and training maxes are read the way you wrote them. BP, SQ, DL and OHP work too.

  2. 02

    Numbers appear at the end of the line

    Last time and how many days ago, your estimated 1RM and PRs show up at the end of each line. A number Joey can't place gets a "?", and tapping it tells you why.

  3. 03

    Last time waits on the next line

    On an empty line under a lift, the sets left from last time show in faint gray. Tap to fill them in. Above the keyboard sit ×, @, comma and slash keys and the rest timer.

SET 4Features

What Notes can't do.

Estimated 1RM and PRs

See whether you're getting stronger.

Joey estimates your 1RM from the RTS chart, adjusted for RPE. Rep maxes and e1RM PRs are checked against every earlier day.

Each lift has a chart of e1RM or volume (kg × reps) and a 1–10RM table.

Weekly sets per muscle

How many sets each muscle got this week.

Each exercise knows the muscles it trains, and Joey counts this week's hard sets per muscle against a target of 10 to 20. Muscles that only assist count as half a set.

A body figure, front and back, shows in color where you're short.

Rest timer

Rest without leaving the note.

The timer counts up from your last set. Pick a rest length and it counts down instead, with a notification when rest is over, even with the phone locked.

On iPhone it also sits on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island.

SET 5Moving in

Bring years of notes with you.

Paste from Notes

Joey splits a paste into days at its date lines, and works out missing years from the order of the entries.

The phone reads the photo itself, with Apple Vision on iPhone and ML Kit on Android. You check the text before it's imported, and the photo never leaves the phone.

Open a Strong or Hevy CSV

Export from Strong's Settings (Export Strong Data) or Hevy's (Export & Import Data) and open the file. Each workout becomes one note, and your Strong log stays in Strong.

Importing is free, with no limit on how much.

SET 8FAQ

Questions

Do I need an account?

No. Open the app and write. Make an account only if you want sync between devices, which is part of Pro.

Do my notes go to an AI service?

No. Joey reads your notes on the phone and sends nothing to an AI service. Reading needs no connection, so it works offline.

Do I have to learn a format?

No. Write the way you write now. A number Joey can't place gets a "?", and tapping it tells you why. Any exercise name works; a name Joey doesn't know becomes your own exercise.

What happens when I switch phones?

Save a backup file from Settings and open it on the new phone. With Pro, sync moves your notes too.

Can I bring my Strong or Hevy history?

Yes. Export a CSV from either app and open it in Joey; each workout becomes one note. Logs you kept in Notes come in too: paste them in.

What happens if I stop paying for Pro?

Everything you wrote stays readable, searchable and exportable. You can still restore your synced notes on a new phone.

Is there an Android version?

Yes, with a home screen widget and Health Connect. The Apple Watch app works with the iPhone version.

When can I get it?

Soon, on the App Store and Google Play.
