Ironlytics User Guide

Getting started

Ironlytics is a local-first workout and nutrition tracker. Your main logs, foods, recipes, templates, settings, and progress data are stored on your device.

• Use the bottom tabs to switch between Dashboard, Workouts, Nutrition, and Settings.
• Use Settings to adjust units, dashboard layout, nutrition targets, theme, backups, and support links.
• Use backups before changing phone, testing imports, or making large data changes.

Dashboard

The Dashboard gives you a quick view of your daily balance, activity, weekly progress, strength snapshot, and latest log.

• Tap Body Weight or Steps tiles to view their history.
• Press and hold dashboard tiles to change what they show.
• Use the calendar and date controls to review previous days.
• The Strength Snapshot shows selected lifts and their latest logged performance compared with previous results.

Workout logging

Ironlytics supports quick workouts, structured workouts, templates, exercise history, rest timers, supersets, cardio fields, and machine/base-weight exercises.

• Tap a logged set to edit it.
• Press and hold a logged set to reorder sets within an exercise.
• Tap an exercise name to view exercise history when history is available.
• Press and hold free space on an exercise card to reorder exercises.
• Use machine/base weight for exercises with a built-in carriage or starting load.
• If a base-weight exercise uses only the machine's base load, leave added weight blank or enter 0.
• Create templates for workouts you repeat often.

Nutrition logging

Log meals by section, save foods, use recent foods, scan barcodes, create recipes, and review daily or weekly nutrition insights.

• Use Recent, Saved, and Recipes tabs when adding food to a meal.
• Search saved foods first, then use online search when you need more results.
• Common foods may appear for searches like eggs, banana, rice, chicken, oats, milk, potato, apple, bread, pasta, salmon, or tuna.
• Common foods are generic nutrition estimates for quick logging.
• When selecting multiple foods, review and adjust the amounts before logging them.
• Use quick macros when you only need to log calories or macro totals quickly.

Recipes

Recipes let you combine foods into reusable meals and calculate nutrition per portion.

• Create recipes for meals you repeat, such as wraps, pasta, rice bowls, or meal prep.
• Add ingredients from saved foods or scan a barcode directly from the recipe ingredient flow.
• Adjust recipe portions so logged servings calculate correctly.
• Share recipes with other Ironlytics users using the recipe share file.

Sharing and imports

Ironlytics can share and import selected items so users can reuse foods, recipes, exercises, and workout templates.

• Use Share food, Share recipe, Share exercise, and Share template to send reusable items.
• Open Ironlytics share files from Files, WhatsApp, email, or another trusted source.
• Only import files from people or locations you trust.
• If the app is already open, direct-open imports should reuse the existing app session and show the relevant import prompt.

Backups and restore

Backups help protect your local data and move it between devices.

• Create a backup before changing phone, clearing app data, or testing large imports.
• Store backup files somewhere safe, such as cloud storage or your own device backup location.
• Use Merge when you want to add backup data to existing data.
• Use Replace only when you want the backup to replace the current app data.

Customisation

Ironlytics includes dashboard, theme, colour, unit, and strength snapshot customisation.

• Change dashboard tiles from Settings or by pressing and holding tiles on the Dashboard.
• Choose the exercises shown in the Strength Snapshot.
• Change units such as kg/lb from Settings.
• Adjust nutrition targets and display preferences from Settings.
• Use theme and accent colour settings to personalise the app appearance.

Troubleshooting

• If barcode or online food search does not find an item, try a more specific brand or product name, or create the food manually.
• If Health Connect data is missing, check permissions in Android settings and confirm data exists in Health Connect.
• If an import does not appear, reopen the app and check the relevant food, recipe, exercise, template, or backup area.
• If a rest timer notification is delayed, check Android battery optimisation settings for Ironlytics.
• When reporting issues, include your device model, Android version, app version, what you were doing, and screenshots if useful.
