I built the tracker I wished I still had.

I needed a simple way to track my workouts, but the app I had been using started charging a subscription. I make software for a living, so my first thought was: fine, I'll just build it myself.

What started as a personal replacement quickly felt like something bigger. The more I worked on it, the more obvious it became that a lot of lifters want the same thing: a clean, dependable tracker that helps them train better without turning every useful feature into a monthly bill.

That is the promise behind UpliftingLifts.com. I want it to stay free. Over time I'll use lightweight ads to help cover hosting, and I also want to give people the option to chip in directly if they believe in keeping it accessible.
