Rolling 4-week consistency

The only number Comeback keeps. It moves when a week goes by without a session, and it never returns to zero.

What it is

A plan that bends instead of breaking.

Life interrupts training. Work runs late, someone gets ill, you travel, or the week simply goes. Most training apps are built on the assumption that this never happens — and when it does, they hand you a reset counter and the quiet suggestion that it was your fault.

Comeback assumes the opposite. It is a strength training app for iPhone built around two things: you can swap any exercise mid-session in one tap, and when more than 7 days pass since your last completed session, it offers you a shorter, deliberately lighter way back in. Nothing is scored against you, and there is no counter to lose.

How it works

Four steps, and then you train.

  1. Tell us about yourself.

    Five questions, all taps: your goal, how many days a week you can train, how long you have for a session, the equipment you can actually reach, and how long you have been training. No email, no account, no sign-up.

  2. Get your programme.

    Built on your device in under a second, from your answers. Nothing is sent anywhere, because there is nowhere to send it — Comeback has no server.

  3. Train.

    Log your sets as you go. The rest timer starts itself when you finish a set, and last time's weight is already in the field.

  4. Adapt when life gets in the way.

    Swap an exercise mid-session in one tap. Go more than a week without a session and Comeback offers a shorter one to start again with, rather than putting you back at the beginning.

One of the four reasons for a swap is “something doesn’t feel right”. Comeback responds by suggesting a different movement for that slot. It is not medical advice: if the problem carries on, stop and see a physiotherapist or doctor.

What it looks like

  • The Today screen. An upper-body push and pull session is ready — 42 minutes, six exercises — with the first three listed and a Start session button. Below it, rolling consistency reads 100 per cent.

    Today. One session, ready to start.

  • A session in progress. The first set of Barbell Bench Press is logged at 50kg for 6 reps and ticked off, and a rest timer is counting down from 1:47 with an option to add 30 seconds.

    Mid-session, with the rest timer already running.

  • The Swap sheet asking "What’s the problem?" with four choices: equipment is taken, I’m short on time, something doesn’t feel right, and I don’t like this exercise. A line below notes three free swaps left this week.

    Swap. Four reasons, one tap.

  • Swap results headed "Try one of these instead", offering Push-Up, Band Chest Press and Incline Push-Up. Each gives a reason — same movement with no equipment, with a resistance band, or using a box or step.

    Three alternatives, and why each one works.

  • The Comeback screen reading "Good to have you back." and "We’ll ease you back in today." It offers 17 minutes and four exercises, and explains that loads are about 80 per cent of where you left off because you have been away, and that this is intentional.

    A shorter session, scaled from your own last top set.

  • The Progress screen showing rolling consistency at 100 per cent above counts of sessions done, planned and all-time, a strength trend for Barbell Bench Press rising from 40kg to 50kg, and a link to twelve completed sessions in History.

    Progress. One number, over a rolling four weeks.

Why Comeback

The things it refuses to do are the point.

There is nothing to break.

Comeback keeps one number: your consistency over a rolling four weeks. It moves when a week goes by without a session, and it never returns to zero. No leaderboards, no badges, no points, no ads.

No account. No email. No sign-up.

The app works the moment it opens. Comeback never asks for your name, your email address, your date of birth or your location, because it has nowhere to put them and no reason to want them.

It works with no signal.

Every core path is on the device: your programme, your sessions, your history and the full exercise library. iCloud is sync only, into your own private database, which we cannot read.

Your data is yours, and you can take it with you.

Export everything as a CSV file at any time, on any plan, free. Your own training history is not a paid feature. Nothing is sold to anyone, because there is nothing to sell.

142 exercises, filtered by what you can actually reach.

A curated catalogue. When you swap, Comeback offers three alternatives chosen to hold the training intent of that slot, filtered by the equipment you told it about. Deterministic rules — no AI, and never a generated exercise name.

Pricing

£7.99 a month, or £39.99 a year.

Both start with a 7-day free trial. The free tier is not a demo — you can train on it for as long as you like.

A free user who has already used their one Comeback plan is still welcomed back, still shown a session, and can still train indefinitely. Premium unlocks the graded plan — loads scaled from your own last recorded top set — not access to training itself.

Subscriptions are handled by Apple, and Comeback never sees your payment details. A free trial becomes a paid subscription unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. You can cancel at any time on your iPhone in Settings → your name → Subscriptions, and you keep Premium until the period you have paid for runs out. Prices are in pounds sterling and include VAT where it applies.
