A free Apple Watch app for logging your lifts

Written by the team that makes WLog · Last updated · Competitor facts checked September 26, 2026

What can you do with WLog on Apple Watch?

  • Start a workout from the routines on your iPhone.
  • Log sets and set the weight with a picker on the watch.
  • Run the rest timer after each set.
  • See live heart rate and active energy while the workout runs.
  • Stay in sync: a set ticked on the watch shows on the phone and the other way round, in real time.

Do you need your iPhone with you?

Yes, keep it nearby. WLog's watch app is a companion to the iPhone app: your workouts come from the phone, and sets sync back to it as you go. If you want to leave the phone in a locker, Strong advertises Apple Watch logging with or without the iPhone, and Hevy says watch workouts save when the watch reconnects to the iPhone. Fitbod needs the iPhone to start and save a workout.

Does it save workouts to Apple Health?

Yes. The watch runs a workout session that records heart rate and active energy, and finished workouts are written to Apple Health. When the watch has already saved the workout, the iPhone skips its own copy, so you do not get duplicates. WLog also reads and writes body weight in Apple Health.

Prices are US list prices in USD from each app's App Store page or help center. Local prices, offers and legacy plans differ.

Is the WLog Apple Watch app free?

Yes. The watch app needs no subscription, and neither does automatic progression: hit your reps on the watch and the weight still goes up for next session. PRO adds cloud backup and sync, AI program import and advanced charts, none of which the watch needs. JEFIT, by comparison, lists its watch app under Elite.
