Release notes

Version 6.0:
GymTracker has been supercharged to use every sensor on your Pebble. This is our biggest update ever, completely changing how you pace, track, and celebrate your workouts!

  • :ghost: Ghost Mode Pacing
    Race against your past self! The watch now remembers your previous workout duration and provides a live, second-by-second average pacer on your rest screen so you know exactly if you are ahead or behind schedule.
  • :heart: Dynamic Heart Rate Rest Timers
    Stop staring at a static clock. Set a target recovery BPM, and the watch will actively read your pulse. As soon as your heart rate drops to your target, your rest timer automatically skips and buzzes you to go!
  • :microphone: Voice-Dictated Notes
    Leave the phone in your locker. You can now use the Pebble’s built-in microphone to dictate and attach custom notes to your exercises mid-workout.
  • :elephant: Milestone Celebrations
    At the end of your session, the watch calculates your total tonnage and gamifies your summary screen. Find out if you lifted a Grizzly Bear, an Elephant, or a Jet Plane today! (Plus, special celebrations for pure bodyweight/calisthenics workouts).
  • :package: Batch Routine Syncing
    The Companion Website has been completely overhauled into a “Routine Factory.” You can now build, load, and queue up an entire week’s worth of workouts (up to 7 routines) and beam them all to the watch in a single tap

Version 6.1: The Bodyweight & Sync Update
This update brings massive quality-of-life improvements to calisthenics tracking and background syncing!

:person_lifting_weights: Zero-Weight Elegance: We have completely removed the clunky “Bodyweight” modifiers. Now, simply set an exercise’s weight to 0, and the watch will automatically hide the weight UI and center your reps.

:brain: Smart Auto-Progression: If you have “Weight Progression” enabled, the app is now smart enough to detect 0kg bodyweight exercises and will automatically add +1 Rep to your next workout instead!

:chart_decreasing: Bodyweight Dropsets: Applying a Drop Set to a 0kg exercise will now correctly reduce your reps by your configured percentage instead of trying to drop the weight.

:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Seamless Background Auto-Sync: (Thanks to community contributor Silentjay!) When you finish a workout, the watch now silently updates your saved routine in your phone’s Local Storage in the background. Your next workout is always prepped and ready.

:laptop: Companion App UI Overhaul: Reorganized into a clean, 4-tab layout. We merged the speed of local phone storage with the power of the Batch Loader, plus added a dedicated button for pushing Google Sheets credentials to the watch.

New modifier: Timed!

Now you can include timed exercises into your routine. If this modifier is selected for an exercise the workout window will display only a timer which starts/stops with the select button and can be adjusted with the up/down buttons.

Many thanks to silentjay for coding in this new feature!

Release notes

Smart Dropsets: Dropset targets are now dynamically calculated based on the actual reps and weight you completed in the previous set, rather than your originally planned targets. This ensures your active UI targets and end-of-workout statistics are perfectly accurate! (Huge thanks to community contributor @silentjay for building this fix!)

Version 6.5.0:

Voice-Add Exercises: Forgot to add an exercise to your routine? You can now add them on the fly! Trigger the microphone from the Mega Menu or your shortcuts and simply say something like “Bench Press 3 sets 10 reps 60 kilos.” The app will magically parse your speech and let you confirm the new targets.

On-Watch Routine Management: No phone needed! You can now completely manage your routines from your wrist. Select any exercise inside the Routine Inspector to reveal a new menu where you can seamlessly Move Up, Move Down, or Delete exercises.

Custom UI Layout: You can now swap the order of Reps and Weight on the active workout screen! Head to the onboard Settings → System → UI Layout to put Weight on the left and Reps on the right. The selection cursor automatically adapts to your choice so you can jump straight into editing your weight first. (Thank you for requesting this feature and making the app better :grin:)

Release notes

:high_voltage: Seamless Auto-Progression: Auto-progression system has been streamlined! You no longer need to manually click “Load” to update your targets after a workout. The app now seamlessly syncs your newly progressed reps and weights directly to your saved routines in the background.

:broom: Under-the-hood: Cleaned up the configuration page UI and squashed a minor data parsing bug to make watch-to-phone syncing more reliable than ever.

Big thanks to silentjay for sending in the PR!

Version 6.9.0

:bug: Critical Bug Fix: Fixed a frustrating issue where manual edits to routines in the mobile settings page would occasionally disappear or revert to older versions after reopening the app.

:brain: Smart Routine Merging: The companion app is now much smarter! It will perfectly preserve your custom phone tweaks (like renaming exercises, changing sets/reps, or editing comments) while still seamlessly applying the watch’s auto-progressed weights to the rest of your routine. No more lost data!

GymTracker v6.10.0

:rocket: What’s New:

-Introducing the “Giant Set” Modifier: Take your intensity up a notch! You can now link three exercises together back-to-back (A → B → C). The watch will seamlessly bounce you across all three exercises until every set is completed.

-Smart Target Cascading: When building Supersets or Giant Sets in the companion app, editing the target sets for one exercise will now automatically update its linked partners so your routine stays perfectly in sync.

-Overhauled History Tab: Total control over your workout data! The companion app’s History tab has been overhauled with a new multi-select checkbox interface.

-Retroactive Cloud Sync: Missed an auto-sync because your phone was offline? You can now manually select specific past workouts from your History tab and push them directly to your Google Sheets dashboard.

-Bulk CSV Export: Select multiple workouts from your history and instantly generate a bulk, copy-paste ready CSV text block for easy manual backups.

:hammer_and_wrench: Under the Hood & Bug Fixes:

-Visual Clarity: Giant Sets feature a distinct purple linking visual on the companion app to easily differentiate them from blue Supersets.

-CORS Sync Fix: Bypassed strict mobile browser security policies that previously blocked manual Google Sheets background syncs.

-Smarter Parsing: Google Sheets webhooks now dynamically adapt to shorter payload strings from aborted/test workouts without skipping rows.

Bug Fixes & Stability Improvements:

Linked-Set Integrity Lock: Fixed a critical vulnerability where swapping, moving, or deleting an exercise that belonged to a Superset or Giant Set could permanently corrupt the routine’s structure. Linked exercises are now strictly protected during active workouts and inside the Inspector menu.

Zero-Exercise Crash Prevention: Resolved a severe divide-by-zero crash that would trigger if a user deleted the very last exercise of a routine from the “View Exercises” menu and then attempted to start the Ghost Pacer.

Storage Read Safety: Added proactive memory-clearing safeguards when loading saved routines to prevent visual glitches or crashes caused by corrupted storage slots.
