Email support@0arch.io and include your iPhone and watch models and the app version from Settings. A real person reads it.

Programs

• 5/3/1: enter a recent best set for squat, bench, deadlift and press (315 × 5 is fine). Plateside estimates your max, takes 90% of it as the training max, and writes four-week waves: 5s, 3s, 5/3/1, deload. The last set each day is marked with a plus: do as many reps as you can. After the deload the training maxes go up by 10 (lower body) and 5 (upper body).
• Linear: five sets of five (one set for deadlift), alternating workout A and B. Finish every rep and the weight goes up next time; miss reps and it stays.
• Warm-up sets can be switched off in the program screen. They never count toward your records.
• Saving the program again restarts it at week 1; your history is kept.

Logging

• Adjust weight and reps with the minus and plus buttons, then tap the circle when the set is done. Tap it again to undo.
• Tap plates under a set to see what to load on each side of the bar.
• The rest timer starts on every finished set. Change or switch it off in Settings.
• Finishing early keeps only the sets you marked done.
• PR appears when a set beats your best estimated max for that lift. The estimate uses the Epley formula: weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30).

Apple Watch

• Install the watch app from the Watch app on your iPhone if it does not appear on its own.
• Start the workout on your iPhone; the watch shows the next set. Turn the crown to set reps, tap Done. Swipe up for the full list, undo and finish.
• If the two get out of step, the device with the most recent change wins as soon as they are near each other.
