Strength Training: on-the-fly logging

I’d like Strength Training to support on-the-fly logging instead of only prebuilt workouts.

My ideal flow:

  • Tap Start Strength
  • Do a set, then quickly log it:
    • Search/select exercise
    • Enter sets/reps/weight
    • Save
  • Repeat for each new set or exercise as I go.

Requirements:

  • I don’t want to predefine the entire workout up front.
  • I’m okay with approximate timestamps; precision to the second is not important.
  • Logged sets must be treated as real strength data: they should count toward exercise history, PRs, and future strength recommendations, not just live in a notes field.

Right now I have to use Apple Notes because the app only really supports templated workouts. All the data structures (exercises, sets, reps, weight) already exist — this is mostly a UI/flow constraint. A simple “+ Set” button during an active Strength session would solve this for me and make the feature actually usable.
