The basics

  1. Pick a plan or Quick Start. Plans holds your routines. Open a plan and tap Start, or use Quick Start and add exercises as you go.
  2. Log each set. Enter weight and reps, or just check sets off if you have turned tracking off in Settings. Timed exercises such as planks run a hold timer with a lead-in countdown and Pause.
  3. Rest when the timer cues you. The rest countdown shows in the app, in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen. Choose the alert sound in Settings › Timer Alerts.
  4. Finish to save. The summary shows your sets, personal records and changes versus last time. You can save a Quick Start session as a reusable plan.

Common questions

Where is my data stored?

On your iPhone. iCloud sync and Apple Health are optional and off for new installs; turn them on in Settings. Settings › Data › Export Data writes your plans and history as JSON.

How do I fix a past workout?

Open it from Progress › History and choose Edit. You can correct sets, the date and the duration, or log a workout you did without the app. These edits change Bruce's records only, not Apple Health.

How do I share a plan?

Open the plan and use Share. The link contains a copy of the plan; anyone with the link can open it in Bruce or read it on the web preview.

Why does a timer sound while my phone is on silent?

Timer cues use the playback audio route so they can be heard mid-set and keep mixing with your music. Turn the sound off in Settings › Timer Alerts if you prefer haptics or the Live Activity only.

How do I delete my data?

Delete individual plans, workouts, body-weight entries and photos in the app. Deleting the app removes its local data; if iCloud sync was on, remove Bruce's data from iCloud in Settings › Apple Account › iCloud › Manage Storage.
