SwoLifts 1.2.0

Rolling out gradually on Google Play: a refreshed look, clearer workout controls, interactive charts, 421 exercises and easier backup sharing.

Rolling out gradually

SwoLifts 1.2.0 began its production rollout on November 2, 2026. The update may not appear for everyone yet. Check Google Play for availability on your device.

A refreshed workout experience

  • Updated logo, typography and consistent light, dark and system themes.
  • Clearer next-set indicators, compact workout controls and a blue rest timer.
  • Confirmation before deleting a completed set, to help prevent accidental loss.
  • Improved keyboard spacing when adding exercises and editing workouts.
  • Drag across progress charts to inspect individual values.

Inspect individual values on the progress chart

More exercises, with your history preserved

  • The built-in library now includes 421 exercises, with 42 additions.
  • Existing production exercise identities and workout history are preserved.
  • A custom exercise with the same name stays separate, with its own history and personal records. Adding a built-in exercise does not automatically merge it.

Easier backup and restore

  • Use Settings → Share backup to send a SwoLifts ZIP through Quick Share, email or another app, or Export to file to save it to a chosen location.
  • Review a backup before restoring it, including warnings about exercise matches.
  • Preserve exact saved weights through finishing a workout and backup/restore.
  • Backups include current profile bodyweight; restoring fills an empty receiving profile and leaves an existing value alone.

Settings with Share backup, Export to file and Import Workout Data

Import restores SwoLifts backups. It does not convert another app's workout history or support creating workouts in a spreadsheet for import. Keep your original ZIP unchanged; the Backup Workbench lets you inspect a separate copy privately in your browser.

Restore a 1.2.0 backup into 1.2.0 or a later compatible version. Older apps do not know the new exercise identities. Theme, units, rest-timer and RIR preferences are not included in backups; set them again after reinstalling or moving phones. An ordinary in-place update keeps these settings. The wallpaper-based Dynamic Colors option has been removed in favour of the consistent SwoLifts palette.

Reliability and privacy

  • Finished workouts stay finished after rotation or reopening the app.
  • Late finish actions no longer extend an already-ended workout.
  • Improved backup compatibility, numeric input and exercise-name handling.
  • SwoLifts remains free, offline and usable without an account. Cloud sync, AI and subscriptions are not part of this release.
