History

The History tab shows every workout you've logged. From here you can open any workout's details, log a workout for an earlier day, search your notes and share a session as an image.

Browse your workouts

Two tabs at the top switch between a list and a calendar. To choose which one History opens on, see Default history view.

Until you've logged a workout, History is empty. It offers Log a workout, for today or a past day, and Import from another app.

List view

Workouts are listed newest first, loading in pages as you keep scrolling. Each entry shows:

  • Date - day of the week and date ("Today" for today).
  • Exercise and set count - for example "3 exercises · 12 sets".
  • Exercise rows - up to three exercises, each with an equipment glyph, a colored category dot, its set count and its top set (for example "4 sets · 100 kg × 5"). A "+ N more exercises" line covers the rest. Supersets have a colored left border, and a PR flag marks any exercise that set an all-time record that day.

Tap an entry to open its details. The ⋮ menu on each entry has two shortcuts:

  • Copy to today - copies this workout's exercises to a new workout today. Deselect any you don't want. (Not shown on today's entry.)
  • Save as routine - saves the workout as a new routine day, with its exercises and set and rep counts filled in.

Calendar view

Each day you trained shows one colored dot per exercise category. Tap a day to see a summary below the calendar (the same preview as the list), and tap the summary for the full details. Below it are Copy to today (past days only) and Save as routine day.

  • Today is outlined in your accent color.
  • The arrows move between months. Today in the top right jumps back to today.
  • A faint dot marks a day your active program has scheduled and you haven't trained yet.

Log a workout for an earlier day

  1. In calendar view, tap the day: any past day, or today, that has no workout yet.
  2. Tap Log a workout in the summary below the calendar.
  3. Choose how to fill it:
    • From a routine - pick a routine and day, then confirm the prefilled session.
    • Manual entry - start an empty workout and add exercises yourself.
    • Copy from another day - copy an earlier session's exercises and sets onto this date.

Future dates can't be logged. A backdated workout runs no timers, so its duration stays blank and no rest countdown fires while you enter sets. When you leave, you're back on that workout's summary.

To add to a past workout later, open its summary and tap Add exercises.

Filter by category

Tap the filter icon in the top right, then tap category chips to turn them on or off. The list updates as you tap, and a dot on the filter icon shows a filter is active.

  • With two or more categories on, choose Match any (workouts with at least one of them) or Match all (workouts with every one).
  • Clear all removes every filter.
  • Under Display options, a toggle shows or hides the category dots on the calendar.

Tap the search icon in the top right to search everything you've written:

  • Workout notes - the comment on a session.
  • Set comments - notes on individual sets.
  • Exercise notes - your personal notes on an exercise.
  • Machine notes - setup cues saved for an exercise on a specific machine.
  • Routine and routine day notes.
  • Training notes - see Training notes.

Results appear after two characters, in two groups: Notes (undated) first, then Entries (tied to a workout, newest first). Each result shows where it came from, its date if it has one, and the matching line with your words highlighted. Tap a result to open the screen it belongs to.

Search covers only notes you wrote. The built-in exercise instructions aren't included.

What a workout's details show

Tap any list entry, or the day summary in calendar view, to open the workout summary:

  • Date, start time, end time and total duration.
  • Every exercise in order, with each set's weight, reps, warmup or working badge, and any RPE or RIR you logged.
  • Set comments. Tap the comment icon beside a set to read it in full.
  • The gym and machine, if you recorded them.
  • The workout comment you added when you finished.

Compared with last time

On a workout you started without a routine, Compared with last time lists each exercise with your best set today, your best set the last time you did it, and a mark:

  • ▲ stronger
  • - about the same (within 1%)
  • ▽ lighter

Badger compares estimated strength, so more weight for fewer reps can still count as stronger. Reps-only, timed and distance exercises compare reps, time or distance. An exercise you're doing for the first time says First time. Warmups and unfinished sets don't count, and a deload workout is never the one you're compared with.

A deload workout shows a Deload workout banner and no comparison.

On a workout with no weights, such as pull-ups or a treadmill run, the stats show your total reps, time or distance in place of volume. On a day that mixes the two, volume stays and your bodyweight reps are added.

Pace

Below the stats row, Pace shows how the session was spent: how long each exercise took, your average rest between its sets, and the session total. It's worked out from when you logged each set, so there's nothing extra to do while you train.

  • A gap longer than ten minutes counts as a break, listed on its own line, and isn't averaged into your rest.
  • In a superset, time spent on the partner exercise doesn't count as rest.

Pace appears once a session has at least four completed sets and a running clock. Backdated logs and some older sessions don't show it.

Planned vs. actual (routine workouts)

When a workout came from a routine day, each working set can show two lines beneath it:

  • plan: 8-10 reps - what the routine asked for. A small caret marks a set that came in under the lower number.
  • last session: 80 kg × 8 - what you did last time, with a caret showing whether you beat it, matched it or came in under. A deload workout is skipped, so after a deload week you're compared with the week before it.

A set beyond what the routine prescribed is marked extra set.

If you met the plan or beat your last session anywhere in the workout, a wins card appears above the stats row, for example:

  • "2 of 5 exercises: every set met the plan"
  • "3 sets exceeded last session"
  • "2 of 5 exercises: all sets met or exceeded last session"

Meeting the plan means hitting the rep target, or at least the lower number of a rep range. For weight and reps, beating last session means a higher estimated 1RM, so more weight or more reps both count. For reps-only, timed and distance exercises, it means more reps, more time or more distance.

Share a workout as an image

Tap Share on the workout summary. Badger builds a card from the session, shows it to you, and then opens your phone's share sheet.

The card uses your theme and accent color, and shows the date, your entry number, and the routine and day name if the workout came from one. It leads with:

  • On an ordinary day, your standout set, with a line saying why: "Heaviest set of the day", "Most reps of the day", "Longest hold of the day" or "Farthest of the day". The wording follows the exercise, so an assisted movement reads "Lightest set of the day" and a timed sprint reads "Fastest of the day".
  • On a day you set a personal best, the record, and what it beat: "New personal best · was 57.5 kg × 5".

Below that come a summary line (sets, exercises, time, volume) and one line per exercise with its set count as tally marks and its best set. The card fits up to eight exercises in a fixed height, so long exercise names can mean fewer rows; the rest are counted as "+N more". Warmups are left off.

The gym name appears only if you turn on Include gym name on the share sheet. It starts off every time.

One exercise's history

Every session of a single exercise, newest first, is in two places:

  • On the Progress tab: pick the exercise, then open its History tab.
  • Mid-workout, on the training screen: tap History, or swipe left from Track.

Each session shows the date, the gym and machine if any, and every set with its badge (W for a warmup, a number for a working set), its weight, reps, time or distance, and any RPE and RIR. Skipped sets aren't shown.

A session you started from a routine names its day at the end of the line under the date, for example 2 working sets · Upper A. If two of your routines have a day with the same name, each one adds its routine's name in parentheses.

Tap a session's header to open that workout's summary.

To fix a set, tap its row. An edit sheet opens where you can change the weight, reps, time, distance, RPE, RIR, warmup flag and comment. Changes save straight away and update your graphs.

Filter one exercise's history

If you've trained the exercise on more than one machine or bar, or with and without accessories, filter rows appear at the top of the list so you can narrow it to one. They work like the chart filters.

To compare one routine day's sessions, pick the day. When the exercise is on two or more of your routine days, a day row appears under the equipment rows. Pick a day to see only its sessions, or No routine for workouts you started empty. The day row filters this list only; the graph and records still count every session.
