Rackside

Changelog

All notable changes to Rackside are documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning. Versions before 1.0.0 were development builds and were not released on the App Store.

Unreleased — 1.0.0

Added

• Settings › About: version, user guide, what’s new, privacy policy, support and license.
• A user guide, privacy policy and support pages at madacgrav.github.io/rackside.

Changed

• Rackside is now an iPhone-only app (with its Apple Watch companion).
• Renamed the app from TrainMe to Rackside, because other fitness apps and a pending US trademark already use the TrainMe name.
• The iPhone and Apple Watch apps now share one version number.
• A brand-new app icon: a bold kettlebell on a coral-to-violet sunset gradient, with dark, tinted and clear variants on iPhone and Apple Watch.
• A brighter, warmer look throughout: colored badges on empty screens, settings and client rows, client initials avatars, and a gradient progress bar during sessions and rest timers.
• The Apple Watch timer ring and quick-start buttons now use Rackside’s colors.

Fixed

• The Apple Watch now shows the running rest or timed-set countdown instead of the quick-start buttons.

0.6.0 — 2026-11-02

Added

• Rest timer: logging a set starts a rest countdown at the bottom of the session screen. Add time, skip, or pick a different length.
• Countdown for timed sets (like planks) that fills in the duration when it finishes.
• Timers keep running when you lock your phone, switch apps or relaunch TrainMe, and alert you when time is up.
• Apple Watch app: see the running timer on your wrist, add time or skip, start a rest or the next timed set from the watch, and feel a tap when the timer reaches zero. (#42)

0.5.0 — 2026-11-01

Added

• Client intake (#41):
  • Extended client profile: date of birth, emergency contact, physician, occupation, training history and availability.
  • Health screening with a medical-clearance flag shown on the client and in sessions.
  • NASM Overhead Squat and Single-Leg Squat movement assessments, plus measurements (vitals, body, fitness tests), with changes since the previous assessment.
  • Liability waiver: send it to a client as a PDF, mark it signed and returned, and edit the waiver template in Settings.
  • A guided intake flow, offered after you add a client and from the client’s menu.

Fixed

• The waiver screen could hang on some devices.

0.4.0 — 2026-11-01

Added

• Week view on the Schedule tab, with previous/next week and Today buttons. TrainMe remembers whether you prefer day or week view. (#40)
• Repeating sessions can be edited, cancelled or deleted for “this session only” or “this and following sessions”, and your calendar stays in sync. (#39)

0.3.0 — 2026-10-27

Added

• Progress reports: total reps per exercise, an exercise detail screen with history and estimated 1RM, consistency over a chosen window, weekly volume, top exercises, and a PNG export alongside the PDF. (#34)
• “About you”: add yourself as a client to track your own training. (#36)

Changed

• Refreshed look across the app, with an inline set table in the session screen. (#36)
• Dark, tinted and clear app icon variants.
• Better support for larger text sizes and VoiceOver labels in reports.

0.2.0 — 2026-10-26

Added

• App icon and accent colour. (#31)
• Edit and delete an existing session.
• A reminder to back up when your last export is more than 14 days or 5 sessions old.
• The session screen shows the client’s injuries, and session notes can be edited there.
• Each exercise keeps its own weight unit (lb or kg) everywhere it appears.
• Permissions rows in Settings for notifications and calendar. (#32)
• TrainMe backs up your data automatically before an app update changes how it is stored.

Changed

• Destructive actions now ask for confirmation, and failed saves are shown instead of silently ignored.
• Replacing all data from an import file can now be undone automatically if the import fails.
• Adding a session to your calendar falls back to any writable calendar when there is no default.

Fixed

• A repeating series now creates the number of weeks you chose, without an extra calendar event. (#2)
• Deleting a session also deletes its recorded sets.
• The Face ID prompt no longer appears twice.
• Cancelled sessions no longer send reminders.
• Restoring a backup works reliably.
