Getting started

Liftorra runs in your browser at app.liftorra.com, on your phone and on your computer. It is free and has no ads.

1. Sign in

Open app.liftorra.com and choose Continue with Google, or sign in with an email address and a password. If you do not have an account yet, the same page creates one.

2. Add it to your home screen

On a phone, add Liftorra to your home screen from the browser’s share or menu button. It then opens full screen like an app, and it updates itself the next time you open it after a new version is out.

3. Pick a program

Go to Plan, then Programs and start from one of the built-in programs: Push / Pull / Legs, Upper / Lower or Full body. You can also start from Blank (one empty session) and build your own, or open a program a friend shared with you and copy it (see Share your program). Every exercise, set, rep range, rest time and day can be changed later.

Your first program becomes your active program. From then on, every week is laid out from it: see Plan your week.

4. Log your first set

On Today, press Start on the session card. The logger opens with the session’s exercises. Tick a set to log it; the rest timer starts on the tick. From your second session on, every row arrives with what you did last time, so a repeat is one tap. The details are in Logging and the set shorthand.

When you are done, press Finish, choose who can see the workout, and save it. Your records (heaviest weight, estimated max and session volume) are worked out for you.

5. Set your preferences

In Me (the last tab), then Settings, you can choose:

• kg or lb for every weight in the app,
• the first day of your week (Monday or Sunday),
• who can see a new workout by default (only you, friends, friends and your groups, or anyone on Liftorra; new accounts start at Friends & groups),
• your daily targets for the check-in,
• light, dark or the system theme.

Forgot your password?

On the sign-in page, press Forgot password? (it is there whether you are signing in or creating an account), type your email and send the link. The email ends with a link back to Liftorra. For your safety the page never says whether an account exists for that email.

Signed up with Google and want to use the phone app?

If the phone app shows only email sign-in, give your Google account a password first: in the web app go to Me, Settings, Password and sign-in and choose Add a password, or use Forgot password? with your Google email. Then sign in on the phone with that email and password.

Home screen widgets (phone app)

The Liftorra phone app has widgets for Today, your week, the check-in and your group. Touch and hold your home screen, tap + (iPhone) or Widgets (Android), then pick Liftorra. Choose what the check-in widget shows in Me, Settings, Home screen widgets.
