OVERVIEW
Ancora started with a simple problem: alternating arms on overhead press, two minutes of rest per side, and no good way to time both without counting out loud between sets. The first version was two buttons on a web page. It grew, one workout at a time, into a rest timer and training log built around how lifters actually train.

ABOUT US
ABOUT US
■ Ancora is built and maintained by one person: a home-gym lifter who wanted a timer that took the rest between sets as seriously as the sets themselves.
Tap when you rack the weight and Ancora starts your rest, with separate timers for each side when you're working one arm or leg at a time. It logs every set, keeps your notes, and tells you when you've earned more weight. Alerts reach you even with your phone locked.
There's no account to create and nothing to sync. Your training log lives on your iPhone, exports to a spreadsheet whenever you want it, and never leaves your device otherwise.
Most of the app was designed mid-workout, between sets. If something doesn't fit the way you train, write in.
