The Problem: Your Data, Their Prison

Most fitness apps treat your workout history as their property. Cancel your subscription? Your logs disappear. Want to analyze your progress in a spreadsheet? Not possible — or locked behind a premium paywall.

🔒 Data lock-in is a business model: they make it painful to leave so you keep paying. Your 2 years of workout history becomes the reason you can't cancel.

You wouldn't accept this from a notebook or a spreadsheet. Why accept it from an app?

The IronLog Answer: One-Click CSV Export

IronLog stores all your data in your browser (localStorage). It never touches a server. And you can export everything — anytime — with one click.

How to Export Your Workout Data

  1. Open IronLog in your browser
  2. Log your workouts as usual — sets, reps, weights, dates
  3. Click the Export CSV button (available in the app menu)
  4. A CSV file downloads to your device — open it in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet tool
