One test sets your level, even if the number is one. Then three sessions a week for six weeks, and every program cites the research it is built on.
Free for iPhone and Apple Watch, no account needed. iOS 18 or later, in the US and Canada.
A plan written for someone else does not know your number. So it starts too hard or too easy, and you find out which in week two. Mantle asks for your number first, then builds six weeks from it.
One continuous set sets your level, even if that number is one. Then pick light, steady or full.
Bodyweight in every session of every program, with no gear to buy. A towel is optional.
Three sessions a week, and never more than three in five days on the built in programs, so nobody races ahead of their recovery.
Miss two weeks and your week and day wait where you left them. Today offers a lighter grade when you come back.
The Apple Watch app is free. Finished sessions save to Apple Health if you want them there.
Eighteen sessions from now
you take the same test again.
That second number
is the point.

One continuous set, as many as you can with good form. That number sets your next six weeks.
Each session has its sets, targets and rest built in. The runner counts and times. You do the work.
Eighteen sessions later, the same test again, and a second number to set beside the first. Finish all six weeks and that program’s trophy is yours.
Example app screens. Targets and records vary.
Pick one of the three free programs, slide a baseline test number, and switch between the three grades to see your starting layer, Session 1 sets, and final test target.
Starting layer: Sediment, Column 1
Every built in program scales from your one baseline test. Three findings sit behind the floor, the reps and the pace.
Magnus is 4.5 billion years old and has never trained. He does the same six weeks, in the same app, one episode per week.

Your baseline test sets your starting level even if the number is one or three. Before Session 1 you also pick a grade: light, steady or full.
Never. Every built in program, and every program you build yourself, uses the floor and your bodyweight only.
Nothing is erased, and your week and day never reset. After two weeks away, Today offers a lighter grade or a fresh baseline test if you want one.
Strength builds during the recovery between sessions. The built in programs plan three sessions a week and hold a fourth until five days have passed, so nobody races through six weeks in two.
Three complete six week programs: push ups, squats and hollow hold, from the first test to the final one. The session runner, archive, streak, six relics, the Apple Watch app, Apple Health and iCloud sync are free too. There is no time limit.
You can build your own six week program from a bodyweight move and a goal. The other thirteen programs open, along with the Endless Dig after the final test and every relic. It is monthly, annual or lifetime, bought inside the app, and Mantle never takes away what you bought.
No. There is no Mantle account and no Mantle server. Your training syncs through your own private iCloud, and nothing is tracked.
Yes, and the watch app is free. Run a session from your wrist and save finished sessions to Apple Health if you want to.
No. There is no advertising in any tier, free or paid.
