IronScript Docs

An all-in-one trainer: workouts, follow-along routines, interval timers, nutrition, body weight and mood, with an optional AI coach. This guide walks through every page and every tab, one at a time.

Screenshots come straight from the running app in offline demo mode, filled with sample data. Every page and every tab has its own shot. The layout is the phone view. Nothing here is your real data.
Getting started

Start here

Welcome screen
Getting started › First run

Continue offline, or sign in

The very first screen lets you choose how your data is stored.

How to use it

  1. Tap Continue offline to keep everything on this device.
  2. Or tap Sign in with Google to back up and sync across your devices.
  3. Switch either way later in Settings. Your on-device data carries over when you sign in.

Put it to work: start offline to try it, sign in when you want a backup.
Why: signing in also unlocks the optional AI and Friends features.

Settings screen
Getting started › Settings

Set it up the way you like

Make the app yours before you start logging.

How to use it

  1. Tap your profile photo in the top bar to open You, then Settings.
  2. Set your units, the first day of the week and the dashboard order.
  3. Turn AI and Friends on or off to taste.
  4. Then add a Workout, Routine or Timer from the bottom bar and star your favorites.

Put it to work: set units and defaults once, then forget them.
Why: every screen follows these, so a minute here saves time later.

How it all connects

Calories burned on the done screen
How it connects › Calories

Training calories feed your food goal

A workout, routine or timer can top up how much you may eat that day.

How it works

  1. When you finish a routine or timer, the done screen asks how many calories you burned. Type it, or let AI estimate it.
  2. For a strength workout you enter the burn on the workout summary.
  3. With Settings › Nutrition › Count workout and activity calories on (the default), that burn is added to the day.

Put it to work: log your burn so a hard session lets you eat a bit more.
Why: the Nutrition day then shows a burned line and a higher goal.

Home dashboard with the This week card
How it connects › Dashboard

It all rolls up on Home

Everything you log feeds the dashboard and the coach.

How it works

  1. Home’s This week and the IronScript AI recap are built from your workouts, calories, protein, mood and weight.
  2. The more you log, the more useful both become.

Put it to work: star a routine or timer to pin it to Home, and set an Active day on Nutrition to nudge one day’s goal.
Why: AI (photo, barcode and the coach) is opt-in and needs sign-in. Offline keeps it off and your data local.

Home
Home dashboard
Home tab

Your daily dashboard

One screen that sums up today and gives one-tap shortcuts into the rest of the app.

How to use it

  1. Tap a card under Favorites to start that routine or timer right away.
  2. In Nutrition, add food fast with the barcode, photo or plus button.
  3. Under Workouts, tap today’s scheduled workout to start it.
  4. Tap a face under Your day to log your mood in one tap.
  5. Keep your Streak alive by logging anything each day, a workout, some food, your mood or a weigh-in.
  6. Collapse or reorder the sections so the ones you use sit on top.

Put it to work: star the two or three things you do most so they are always one tap away.
Why: the This week card and the coach are built from what you log, so a quick daily habit keeps every insight accurate.

Workouts
Workouts Today tab

What is on for today

The workouts scheduled for the current weekday, each ready to start.

How to use it

  1. See every scheduled workout with its exercise and set count.
  2. Tap the play arrow to start one and log it set by set.
  3. Use the arrows by the date to look at another day.

Put it to work: schedule your split across the week so the right session is always waiting here.

How to use it

  1. Tap Add workout to build a new one.
  2. Open any workout to edit it, run it, or star it as a favorite.
  3. Each card shows its scheduled days and exercise count.

How to use it

  1. Search or sort to find a lift.
  2. Tap one to open its progress trend over time.
  3. Watch weight and reps climb session by session.

Put it to work: check a lift before you train it to see last time’s numbers and beat them.

A browsable list of exercises grouped by muscle, with names and modes ready to drop into a workout.

How to use it

  1. Search or scroll the muscle groups.
  2. Open the library from inside a workout to pick a move and pre-fill its name and type.

Starter workouts grouped by level, from beginner full-body to advanced splits.

How to use it

  1. Browse a category and preview a template.
  2. Create a new workout from it, or add its exercises to one you already have.

Why: it saves building a plan from scratch and gives a sensible structure.

Exercise trend chart
Workouts › Exercises › Trend

One lift over time

The trend for a single exercise, with a chart and every set you have logged for it.

How to use it

  1. Switch the metric between estimated 1RM, top set weight and volume.
  2. Read the Latest and Best cards, then follow the line as it climbs.
  3. Scroll the session by session breakdown, and sort by newest, oldest or best.

  5. Tap Save workout, or Save & start to train it now.

Put it to work: build your split once, schedule it, and let Home serve it up.
Why: editing the plan never rewrites past logs, so you can refine it freely.

Workout run screen
Workouts › Run

Log a session set by set

The run screen walks you through each exercise, logging your reps and weight with a rest timer between sets.

How it works

  1. Enter reps and weight for the active set, then tap Log set.
  2. Add an optional RPE to note how hard it felt.
  3. Rest counts down automatically, then the next set becomes active.
  4. Skip a set or exercise whenever you need to.

Put it to work: log honestly as you go, the numbers feed your progression suggestions next time.
Why: finishing saves the session to History and, with the setting on, adds your burn to that day’s food goal.

How to use it

  1. Open it while you log a set on the run screen.
  2. Set the bar weight and the plates you own.

  3. Tag the muscle groups you trained, then add the calories you burned or let AI estimate them.

How to use it

  1. Tap Add routine to build one.
  2. Open a routine to edit, run, star or export it.
  3. Tap Start for a hands-free circuit.

Put it to work: use routines for HIIT, mobility or warm-ups where you want your hands free.
Why: the runner keeps time for you so you focus on moving, not the clock.

Routine run screen
Routines › Run

A hands-free circuit

The runner counts down each step, speaks the next move and advances automatically through every round.

How it works

  1. Follow the big countdown and the colour for prep, work and rest.
  2. Timed steps advance on their own, tap done for rep and AMRAP steps.
  3. Pause, skip or stop from the controls.

  3. Minimise it and it keeps running, on the web you can get a notification when it ends.
