Fives

The simplest strength log.

5×5. 3×5. 12×3. Or whatever your program says.

Tap a circle when you finish a set, rest, add weight next time. That is the whole app.

Download on the App Store

iPhone, iOS 17 and later. No account. The tracker is free.

Pick your scheme

Sets and reps are a setting, not a religion. One choice drives every lift, and you can override any single lift. Changing it changes the next session, never a logged one.

5×5

The classic. 25 reps.

3×5

Lighter day. 15 reps.

12×3

Heavier, shorter sets. 36 reps.

8×2

Speed work. 16 reps.

7×3

Between. 21 reps.

CustomPro

Your own numbers. Any sets, any reps, per lift.

Deadlift stays 1×5 unless you change it. Every other lift follows the scheme you picked, until you tell it otherwise.

Three things it does

Squat, bench, row, press, deadlift. Workout A, then workout B, then A again. The app only ever knows the next one.

  • Your sets, your reps

    Pick a scheme or set your own. Five presets are free and every lift can override the one you chose, so a 5×5 squat can sit next to a 3×5 press without a fight.

  • Adds the weight for you

    Hit every rep and the weight goes up by your increment next session. Miss, and it holds. Three failed sessions and it deloads ten per cent, so you get a run-up instead of a wall. Both numbers are editable.

  • Built for the floor

    One-hand set circles sized for a sweaty screen, a rest timer that taps you on the shoulder when it runs out, and an unfinished workout that survives a relaunch. No account, no feed.

What it looks like

Dark, portrait, one hand. The numbers are always the biggest thing on screen.

The Today screen: one card per lift with its working weight and a row of set circles to tap.
Today — one card per lift, one circle per set.
The rest timer docked above the tab bar, counting down with plus thirty seconds and skip controls.
Rest — it starts itself and tells you when to go.
The Progress screen: total weight lifted, session count, and a line chart of working weight per lift.
Progress — total weight lifted, and every lift climbing.

Fives Pro

The tracker is free and complete: the program, all five preset schemes, progression, deloads, the timer, history and the charts. Pro is the rest.

Questions

Is this the classic 5×5?

Yes. The classic 5×5 linear progression: squat every session, two other lifts alternating between workout A and workout B, and weight added every time you hit every rep.

Fives is made by Tundra Industries and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any other 5×5 app.

Why is the deadlift 1×5?

Because five heavy sets of deadlift, three times a week, is how people stop lifting. It is the convention the program has always used.

It is a per-lift setting like any other. Set it to 5×5 in Settings and Fives will not argue.

What happens when I fail a session?

Nothing dramatic. Miss a rep on any set and the weight holds where it is, and the app says so: same weight next time, 1 of 3.

After three failed sessions on that lift it deloads by ten per cent and the count resets. Both the three and the ten per cent are editable, and the weight never drops below the bar.

Pounds or kilos?

Either, and you can switch any time. Every stored weight converts and rounds to the smallest plate pair you have, so nothing lands on a number you cannot load.

The bar defaults to 45 lb or 20 kg, and that is editable too.

Can I use my own sets and reps?

Yes, with Pro. Any combination from 1 to 20 sets by 1 to 20 reps, set globally or on a single lift.

The five presets — 5×5, 3×5, 12×3, 8×2, 7×3 — are free, and so is overriding one lift with another preset.

Does it need an account?

No. There is no sign-in, no email, no password, and no feed to be on.

Your log lives in a file on your phone. Nothing leaves it — the only network call Fives makes is to Apple, to check whether you bought Pro.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. Pro exports every session as a CSV through the share sheet: date, workout, lift, weight, unit, and every set as it was logged.

Open it in a spreadsheet, keep it, or move it somewhere else. It is a plain file with no lock on it.

What is coming?

A Lock Screen rest timer as a Live Activity, an Apple Watch app, and iCloud sync between devices are the three things at the top of the backlog.

None of them are in this version and none of them are promised. When one ships, it will be on this page.
