Ancora is a tool for timing rests and logging your own training. By downloading or using the app, you agree to the terms on this page.

Not coaching or medical advice

Ancora’s progression suggestions, such as prompts to add weight or raise a rep target, are generated automatically from the numbers you log and the rules you choose. They are meant to support self-guided training. They are not personalized coaching, fitness instruction, or medical advice, and they cannot account for your health, injury history, technique, fatigue, or how a set actually felt. Every suggestion is optional.

Train safely and within your limits

Strength training carries an inherent risk of injury. Use proper form and appropriate equipment, and use a spotter or safety arms when lifting heavy. Never add load just because the app suggested it if your body says otherwise. Stop exercising and seek medical attention if you feel pain, dizziness, chest discomfort, or unusual shortness of breath. Talk with your doctor before starting or changing an exercise program, especially if you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or are recovering from an injury.

Heart rate data

Heart rate readings shown in Ancora come from Apple Health or a connected Bluetooth monitor. They may be delayed or inaccurate and are for general reference only. Ancora is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or monitor any condition.

Assumption of risk

You are solely responsible for your training decisions and for how you use the app. By exercising with Ancora, you voluntarily assume all risks associated with exercise.

Limitation of liability

Ancora is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer of Ancora is not liable for any injury, illness, loss, or damages of any kind, whether direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential, arising from your exercise or from your use of or reliance on the app, including its timers, progression suggestions, heart rate display, and logged data. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

These terms supplement Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, which also governs your use of the app.
